Mission
We are recruiting a Mechanical and Thermal Satellite Architect (F/H) for a new position in the Space department.

• Working in co-engineering with our platform and payload supplier, you will define the mechanical and thermal architecture of the GESAT Gen2 satellite, and oversee the project from the initial design phases to detailed calculations.
• As technical reference for the AIT, you will validate mechanical and thermal vacuum tests to guarantee the reliability of the satellites in the constellation.
• Analyze alternative mechanical or thermal architectures, justifying choices through analysis, studies, calculations, simulations, etc.
• Participate in flight operations, particularly during the LEOP phase and thermal monitoring in collaboration with ground segment teams.
• Steering the internal and external layout of the satellite payload to optimize its integration on the platform.
• Participation in technical reviews, meetings and progress reports within project groups.
• Drafting of technical documents.

Work in collaboration with the mechanical and thermal engineer on flight segment aspects.

ABOUT YOU:

Technical skills:

• You have at least 4 years’ experience in mechanical architecture applied to the space industry, with thermomechanical expertise in satellite structures and finite element analysis justification. Experience in mechanical and thermal calculations would be a plus.
• Ideally, you have already led a complete development of satellite mechanical architecture, from design to in-orbit launch.
• You will write technical documents in French and English, and liaise with suppliers on requirements, presentations and input documents.
  Languages: French and professional English

IT skills (Software) : SOLIDWORKS, SIMCENTER 3D, NASTRAN, TMG

Softskills: teamwork, pedagogue, open-minded, autonomous
