Job Details

We are looking for a new Mechanism Engineer with a background in Space Robotics engineering and with heritage on mechanism design, development and testing.

Mechanism Engineer Responsibilities:

• Specification of subsystems/equipment technical requirement.
• Design and verification of control systems (Matlab/Simulink environment) based on electric actuators, and sensors.
• Mechanism Design, from the concept definition to the detailed design to be developed by the team.
• Performance and functional testing control systems in real-time (LabView and Simulink Environment) working with the hardware.
• Define and implement the development and verification approach, establish the corresponding documents, i.e. design development & verification plans, test plans, design justification documents, interface control documents, verification control documents etc.
• Production monitoring.
• Support in definition and implementation of the development and verification approach, establish the corresponding documents, i.e., design development & verification plans, test plans, design justification documents, interface control documents, verification control documents, etc.
• 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.).

Mechanism Engineer Requirements:

• Master degree in Aerospace Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering or in a similar discipline.
• At least 4 years of experience in mechanism/mechatronic engineering.
• Knowledge of ECSS standards related to structures and to mechanisms design and verification.
• Recognized experience in developing mechanism products (specification, design, verification).
• Capability to develop simplified mathematical models to justify the 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, willingness to take responsibility.
• Good analytical and system-oriented thinking.
• Awareness for costs and schedule.
