JOB DETAILS

About the role

A Mechanism Engineer with a background in Space Robotics engineering and heritage in mechanism design, development, and testing.

Responsibilities

• Specification of subsystems/equipment technical requirements.
• Design and verification of control systems (Matlab/Simulink environment) based on electric actuators and sensors.
• Mechanism Design, from concept definition to detailed design to be developed by the team.
• Performance and functional testing of control systems in real-time (LabView and Simulink Environment) working with the hardware.
• Define and implement the development and verification approach, establishing corresponding documents such as design development & verification plans, test plans, design justification documents, interface control documents, and verification control documents.
• Production monitoring.
• Support in the definition and implementation of the development and verification approach, establishing corresponding documents.
• Functional and environmental tests of prototypes and flight equipment.
• Participation in proposals for new projects (conceptual definition, preliminary design, preliminary dimensioning, approach to verification campaigns, estimation of costs and necessary resources, etc.).

Requirements

• Master degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a similar discipline.
• At least 4 years of experience in mechanism/mechatronic engineering.
• Knowledge of ECSS standards related to structures and mechanisms design and verification.
• Recognized experience in developing mechanism products (specification, design, verification).
• Capability to develop simplified mathematical models to justify design concepts.
• Experience in mechanisms assembly and testing.
• Experience in test planning.
• Background in latching and release mechanisms design.
• Experience in Control system design (Matlab and Simulink).
• Experience in CAD modelling.
• Knowledge of the English language is required.
• Good communication, cooperation, and organization skills, with a willingness to take responsibility.
