  • Design mechanical breadboards and GSEs
  • Produce engineering drawings and coordinate production of mechanical parts with external suppliers
  • Manufacture mechanical parts in-house (eg CNC milling of metal parts, FDM and SLS printing of polymers)
  • Assemble prototypes and flight hardware
  • Perform testing activities from component  to system level
  • Participate in qualification campaigns and acceptance testing of flight hardware
  • Support customer during final integration of our payloads
  • Produce technical documentation and participate in reviews with external stakeholders

  • Fluent in English
  • Eligible to work in Germany

 

Nice to have requirements: 

  • Familiarity with (new) spatial environment (2+ years) 
  • You're likely someone who enjoys designing things on your own time, including 3D printing, welding, grinding, and machining
  • Knowledge of structural analysis tools (FEM)
