System Mechanical Engineer

at  The Exploration Company

Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.
The heart of a spacecraft lies in its engine, and that’s why we, at The Exploration Company, are dedicated to developing our own cutting-edge Propulsion Systems ensuring the highest level of efficiency and reliability in our space endeavours.
We are seeking a talented System Mechanical Engineer to join our Propulsion Systems division. As a key member of our engineering team, you will be responsible for system-level mechanical analysis and engine arrangement.

• Build the mechanical models of the propulsive system, with the right level of complexity depending on the maturity and the goals of the study
• Support the mechanical analysis at the subsystem level and ensure their coherence at the engine level
• Support test campaigns to ensure mechanical feasibility
• Lead the arrangement of the different engine components considering the constraints on a vehicle, engine and subsystem level
• Define the mechanical load cases to be analyzed at the propulsive system components level based on the load cases provided by the spacecraft design team and from executed tests
• Contribute to the accommodation and connection of the engine to the launcher in collaboration with the vehicle design team
