nengineering specializes in the development of on-board mechanisms for spacecraft for commercial and for science missions in Europe and the US.
Based on technical requirements we develop creative design ideas, detail them to thorough concept designs and select the most promising concept, which then is refined by numerical simulation and optimisation of its dynamic, thermal and functional behaviour to achieve outstanding performance. Comprehensive documentation is produced for description and production of the mechanism. Our production partners produce the parts which we then assemble, entirely test and deliver to the customer. All our work is performed to space engineering standards.
Your responsibilities
As a senior systems engineer for space mechanisms you will lead complex development projects as a technical expert. Your responsibilities include
- Close collaboration with customers and suppliers on engineering topics and overseeing the technical goals
- Finding efficient technical solutions
- Establishing of mechanical designs using 3D CAD (Siemens NX)
- Structural and thermal analyses (Simcenter 3D, Nastran, Ansys, Systema)
- Documentation of mechanism designs and analysis results
- Generation of manufacturing drawings and definitions
- Coordination and supervision of production, assembly and testing
- Support of bidding activities with concepts, estimates, and technical inputs
Your competence
As a senior systems engineer you have a passion for high‑quality engineering, and are willing to commit to challenging long-term development projects, and you have
- A Master’s degree (or equivalent) in mechanical, thermal, structural or similar engineering fields
- 5+ years of experience in development in a high tech engineering field
- Good communication skills
