Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run. We want you as a talented and experienced Mechanism Engineer to help us in our mission by developing mechanisms for our Future Projects. You will be part of the Future Systems team, reporting to the Principal Engineer of the project and working closely with the other engineering disciplines. Key Responsibilities In your capacity as a Mechanism Engineer, your role will be continuously evolving, but day to day your duties will include: Mechanism Design and Development: To conceptualize, design, and develop space mechanisms. Create innovative solutions for critical space grade components. Contribute to mechanisms components specification and supplier selection. Perform kinematic, torque, or force analysis. Consider factors such as weight, reliability, environmental effects, and precision when designing mechanisms. Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of engineers Research and Analysis: Conduct research to solve complex engineering problems related to space mechanisms. Analyze existing designs and propose justification or improvements based on scientific principles and industry best practices. Testing and Validation: Develop test plans and procedures for space mechanisms. Validate mechanisms through ground-based testing and simulations. Ensure that mechanisms meet performance, safety, and reliability standards. Documentation and Reporting: Maintain detailed records of design iterations, test results, and modifications. Prepare technical reports and documentation for internal and external stakeholders. Contribute to maintaining a Product Breakdown Structure through GitHub. What we would love to see from you In the role as Mechanism Engineer ideally, you will have the following: Bachelor’s or master’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related field. 3+ years of experience in designing mechanisms for the aerospace industry.
