Your Role
As a Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for the mechanical design, analysis, and qualification of Orbint's satellite RF payload. You will translate system-level requirements into robust mechanical solutions covering structure, thermal management, and interfaces, and support the system through integration, test, and launch. Your work ensures that the payload and spacecraft survive launch, operate reliably in orbit, and meet all environmental and mission constraints.
About You
We do not expect a perfect match to every bullet point, but you should recognize yourself in most of the profile below.
Core Technical Profile
- Degree (BSc/MSc/PhD) in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field.
- Strong experience in mechanical design for space or high-reliability systems, including structural and thermal considerations.
- Proficiency with CAD tools (e.g. CATIA, SolidWorks, Creo, NX) and engineering drawings.
- Experience with structural and/or thermal analysis tools (e.g. ANSYS, NASTRAN, Abaqus, Thermal Desktop, ESATAN, COMSOL, or equivalents).
- Solid understanding of space environments: launch loads, vacuum, thermal cycling, radiation effects on materials, and outgassing.
SIGINT / Space / Defence Domain (Strong Plus)
- Small satellite (CubeSat / SmallSat) platforms and payload integration.
- AIT/AIV campaigns, environmental testing, and qualification flows.
- Mass, stiffness, and thermal budgeting at system level.
- Antenna mounting and alignment stability.
General
- Structured, analytical working style with strong problem-solving skills and a high bar for technical quality.
- Ability to take ownership from concept through implementation to internal adoption.
- Strong communication skills: you can explain complex technical trade-offs clearly to engineers, management, and customers.
- Very good command of English (spoken and written); German is an asset.
- Eligibility for security clearance.
Why Orbint
At Orbint, you will be joining an ambitious team where your work directly shapes a new space-based SIGINT capability for European defence and security. From designing advanced RF payloads to developing the onboard and ground software that power our satellites — our team is shaping the future of space-based RF sensing.
