Your Role in Our Space Mission:

• Design and develop composite and metallic structures for the Spectrum launch vehicle
• Be responsible for the development of critical primary structures, respective interfaces and adjacent secondary structures
• Create CAD models, manufacturing and integration drawings including BOM
• Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams (Analysis, Production, Assembly & Integration, Testing, Quality, Avionics etc) to deliver robust, innovative, and optimized structural solutions that meet project requirements and high-quality standards to derive a fully qualified product
• Provide general guidance for structural development
• Define and establish design standards, best practices and design documentation
• Review designs and manufacturing drawings of the structures team
• Prepare detailed road maps for the development of the products and maintain their related timelines up to date
• Host weekly meetings with the affected stakeholders to ensure the efficient development of the product
• Prepare design reviews, risk assessments, trade-off studies etc.
• Provide an agile answer to production and assembly Non-Conformities
• Definition of necessary Requirements and Engineering Change Requests
