ThrustMe is a cutting-edge space technology company specializing in the development and production of advanced propulsion systems for small satellites, founded in 2017. We are highly educated world experts in satellite space propulsion, pioneering the field of streamlined in-orbit propulsion for the rising satellite constellation paradigm. We help our clients in the US, Europe, and Asia, to manoeuvre satellites in space while meeting their short timelines and cost-capped budgets. The company made history in 2019 and 2020 with the world's first in-orbit demonstrations of iodine-fueled electric propulsion systems, and is currently experiencing strong growth, with over 200 systems ordered to date. We are dedicated to shaping the future of space technology and are seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer to join our team.

As Mechanical Engineering Team Lead at ThrustMe, you will be in charge of the team tasked with the mechanical design of advanced propulsion systems, as well as their subcomponents. You will work on challenging design problems, in which structures and components are subject to extreme thermal, vibration and shock environments. Key for the role will be especially FEA simulation skills and leadership ability. By joining the Product Development Team, you will be at the interface between cutting edge research and mass production, turning novel concepts into flight-ready systems.

Main tasks and responsibilities

  • Provide technical and organizational leadership to the Structures Team.
  • Manage the team workload, assigning tasks to the team members based on current projects and priorities.
  • Ensure mechanical requirements are defined and properly followed, according to the global product design needs.
  • Oversee mechanical design activities, assuring compliance with engineering standards, manufacturing feasibility, and compatibility with the space environment.
  • Perform structural and thermal analysis to optimize designs, and supervise the activities of the simulation engineers.
  • Participate in planning mechanical tests, draw conclusions and improve designs based on them.
  • Work closely with the Head of Product Development and the other Team Leads to drive the development and industrialization of groundbreaking products.

Required skills and qualifications

  • Masters degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering.
  • 5+ years professional experience in mechanical engineering required.
  • Team leadership experience is a strong asset.
  • Extensive experience with CAD software (SolidWorks preferred).
  • In-depth understanding of simulation software and methodologies, in particular thermal.
  • Experience in requirement-heavy industry (aviation, space, nuclear, automotive, etc).
  • Experience with complex assemblies, having 10s-100s of individual parts, is required.
  • Knowledge of topology optimization and/or generative design methodologies is a strong asset.
  • Communicates in English fluently.
