Toulouse, Occitanie, France Loft Orbital Solutions Temps plein
Wanna join the adventure?
Loft's mission is to be the fastest, simplest, and most reliable path to orbit for any payload. We fly customer payloads onboard regularly scheduled satellites missions, and we handle the entire mission as a service. The Mechanical and Thermal Engineering team is critical to developing the standardized products to enable this mission as well as adapting the standard products to specific customer payloads. We perform clean sheet development as well as supporting production integration and test. As a Mechanical Engineer, you will own complex hardware throughout the lifecycle and work closely with partner teams (flight software, embedded systems, integration & test, and on-orbit operations). About this Role:
  • Own MGSE hardware from conceptual design through test and production for Loft satellites
  • Develop design criteria, collaborate on requirements, and drive satellite system optimization
  • Rapidly iterate on designs and analysis to inform high level systems trades and steer overall product direction.
  • Support environmental and performance testing on hardware to validate analysis and demonstrate compliance to design criteria
  • Demonstrate strong ownership of technical deliverables as well as schedules, supply chain, and operations.
Must Haves:
  • Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline
  • 3+ year of design experience using 3D CAD software and 2D drawings
  • Evidence of successful hardware ownership
  • Experience selecting materials and surface treatments, and designing for manufacturing, of mechanical components in microgravity
  • Knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing
  • Ability and desire to operate in a fast-paced environment with autonomy
Nice to Haves:
  • Satellite hardware ownership (structures, mechanisms, RF payloads, avionics)
  • Proficiency in SolidWorks
  • Thermal and Structural design and analysis - both hand calculations and FEM.
  • Experience designing avionics enclosures and harnessing for PCBAs.
Some of Our Awesome Benefits:
  • Equity, we want you to have an active role in our success
  • Up to 35 days of Paid Time Off (vacations & RTT ) and flexible working hours, we want you to be at your best
  • Health and life insurance, we care about your health
  • Lunch Vouchers, because let's be honest, we love food (we even have a slack channel about it #loft-gourmand)
  • Cross-office travel opportunities between San Francisco, Colorado, and Toulouse to learn from our differences
  • Company and team off-sites and many other events to work & celebrate together
  • Relocation assistance to Toulouse when applicable
 *Research shows that while men apply to jobs where they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other underrepresented people tend to only apply when they meet 100% of the qualifications. At Loft, we value respectful debate and people who aren't afraid to challenge assumptions.  We strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don't check all the boxes.
Who We Are
Loft: Space Made Simple. 
Founded in 2017, Loft provides governments, companies, and research institutions with a fast, reliable, and flexible way to deploy missions in orbit. 
We integrate, launch, and operate spacecraft, offering end-to-end missions as a service across Earth observation, IoT connectivity, in-orbit demonstrations, national security missions, and more. Leveraging our existing space infrastructure and an extensive inventory of satellite buses, Loft is reducing years-long integration and launch timelines to months. With more than 25 missions flown, Loft's flight heritage and proven technologies enable customers to focus on their mission objectives. 
At Loft, you'll be given the autonomy and ownership to solve significant challenges, but with a close-knit and supportive team at your back. We believe that diversity and community are the foundation of an open culture. We are committed to hiring the best people regardless of background and make their time at Loft the most fulfilling period of their career.
We value kind, supportive and team-oriented collaborators. It is also crucial for us that you are a problem solver and a great communicator. As our team is international, you will need strong English skills to better collaborate, easily communicate complex ideas and convey important messages. With 4 satellites on-orbit and a wave of exciting missions launching soon, we are scaling up quickly across our offices in San Francisco, CA | Golden, CO | and Toulouse, France.
As an international company your resume will be reviewed by people across our offices so please attach a copy in English.
