Mechanical Engineering Graduate

Role Overview

Job Description
Role Overview We are seeking creative professionals with expertise in structural dynamics to tackle challenging tasks in the mechanical analysis and testing of space structures and systems. The ideal candidate will bring initial professional experience in the mechanical design and verification of space components (satellites, instruments, structure and mechanisms) and is eager to apply and further develop their academic and practical expertise.

Key Responsibilities
Requirements identification: Identify and understand relevant mechanical requirements. Especially concerning the mechanical environments, in order to identify and define the analyses necessary for design verification and validation. Structural Analysis: Support the execution of static and dynamic structural analyses for space structures and systems, ensuring result plausibility through manual verification methods. Performance Analysis: Conduct mechanical performance analyses for high-precision instruments and structures designed for space applications. Testing & Simulation: Contribute to the simulation, oversight and post-test assessment and correlation of structures static testing, as well as vibration testing for satellites and their sub-components. FEM Modeling: Develop mathematical structural models using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), focusing on application-oriented structural idealization and physical model validation using Hyperworks and NASTRAN. Verification of Joints: Perform strength verification for joining elements in accordance with ESA standards. Tool Development: Assist in developing internal tools for workflow optimization and the processing of analytical and test data. Documentation: Write and maintain comprehensive documentation of all processes, specifically regarding mathematical models, analytical/test outcomes and compliance to requirements. Requirements

Education:
Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline.

Experience:
Prior professional experience in the design and verification of aerospace structures is highly preferred. Technical Expertise: Advanced proficiency in static/dynamic structural analysis (FEM) and manual calculation methods. Software

Skills:
Proficiency in Nastran and Hyperworks. Programming skills in Matlab, Python, VBA or C++ are desirable. Specific Knowledge: Solid understanding of space-specific requirements; experience with composite structure design and calculation is a plus. Soft

Skills:
A proactive, structured work style with the ability to work effectively both independently and within a team. Communication: Excellent communication skills. Languages: Fluency in English and Spanish (written and spoken) is mandatory. This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company's success, reputation and sustainable growth.
