  • Validating design through finite element simulations
  • Collaborating with engineering teams to optimize the structural and thermal performance of the satellite
  • Ensuring compliance with technical and regulatory mission requirements
  • Providing versatile support in the following tasks:
    • Selection of physical components for the chosen architecture
    • Definition of mission and technical specifications for all subsystems
    • Managing internal and external interfaces for all mission elements
Requirements
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline
  • At least 2 years of prior experience in the mechanical and structural design of satellites or the aerospace industry (preferably in small satellite projects)
  • Knowledge and proficiency in advanced modeling and simulation tools such as SOLIDWORKS
  • Fluent English (written and spoken)
About Alén Space

Alén Space is a New Space company focused on the development of missions based on Nanosatellites as well as products and services related to them. Our mission is to help our clients to develop their business plan designing, manufacturing and operating satellites in order to execute the application they need.

Our team has been involved in several complete nanosatellite missions, from specification to delivery, during the last 15 years. Alén Space technical team is composed of systems engineers, electronic engineers, AIV engineers, software and operations engineers and project managers; with a large experience on IOD, communication, commercial and scientific missions, with private and public institutions such as the European Space Agency.

At Alén Space, quality and flexibility in the design, manufacturing and testing are hallmarks of the company. The quality of the process is achieved through meticulous testing and verification processes, keeping traceability of all the executed activities. The flexibility is achieved thanks to the proximity relationship with our clients and to our supplier agnostic approach.

We design the most flexible spacecraft platforms, to accommodate subsystem suppliers' changes without heavily impacting the overall mission. Our systems and AIV engineers work closely with the client, in order to take decisions and involve them in the process.

Our team has enhanced a work method that applies the strict quality standards set by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Cooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS). All of our management, system engineering and AIV processes are based on those standards.

Quality, Flexibility, Scalability, Proximity, Expertise and Success define all Alén Space values.

We offer the opportunity to join a challenging space project together with a self-motivated team with great experience in the design and manufacturing of small satellites.

We offer a indefinite full time contract.

If you are a proactive person and want to commit yourself to a present and future project, we hope to receive your CV.
