About the Company
Established in 2017, Infinite Orbits is a NewSpace company, based in Toulouse, pushing the boundaries of in-orbit services with cutting-edge spacecraft driven by its own Rendez-Vous solution, an advanced Autonomous Vision-Based Navigation Solution.
-"Orbit Guard" is a nanosatellite capable of monitoring objects from GEO orbit. Our first was launched on 1 May 2023!
-"Endurance" is a docking service capable of keeping customer satellites in position for an extended lifetime of 5 years, paving the way for future in-orbit maintenance services.
About the Role
To complete our dynamic and international team, we are looking for a profile of an experienced Mechanical Engineer !
How you will help us:
● Develop concepts and mechanical layouts for new satellite missions in collaboration with internal and external teams.
● Work closely with the CTO and the Product Owner to finalize design trade-offs for new products.
● Design and develop 3D parts and assemblies (for both ground and space segments), along with their manufacturing drawings and processes.
● Take ownership, produce and maintain detailed CAD models and their derived PDM systems.
● Lead the maturation of existing products through the spacecraft's life-cycle by identifying and planning the activities, analysis, and simulations to be performed.
● Produce and maintain project documentation: Assembly-Integration flow charts, CIDLs, mechanical SoW, ICDs, etc.
● Perform Static and Dynamic Modeling of hardware using FEA tools to ensure survivability for launch loads.
● Support Thermal Analysis and Characterization of hardware, including upgrading the simulation procedures in place.
● Support Testing and Verification efforts.
● You may also be required to contact potential suppliers and oversee subcontracted activities.
● Apply the right standards to ensure safety and reliability of the mission while keeping a NewSpace approach.
Requirements
