Turin, Italia Exploration Company A tempo pieno

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.

We want you as a talented Mechanical Engineer to help us in our mission by designing, developing, and testing mechanisms for our vehicles. Your work will contribute to the success of space missions, ensuring that critical components function reliably in the harsh environment of outer space.

Key Responsibilities

In your capacity as a Mechanism Engineer, your role will be continuously evolving, but day to day your duties will include:

Mechanism Design and Development
  • Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of engineers
  • Conceptualize, design, and develop space mechanisms.
  • Create innovative solutions for separation systems, umbilical interface system, and other critical components.
  • Consider factors such as weight, reliability, thermal effects, and precision when designing mechanisms.
Research and Analysis
  • Conduct research to solve complex engineering problems related to space mechanisms.
  • Analyze existing designs and propose improvements based on scientific principles and industry best practices.
Testing and Validation
  • Develop test plans and procedures for space mechanisms.
  • Validate mechanisms through ground-based testing and simulations.
  • Ensure that mechanisms meet performance, safety, and reliability standards.
Documentation and Reporting
  • Maintain detailed records of design iterations, test results, and modifications.
  • Prepare technical reports and documentation for internal and external stakeholders.
What we would love to see from youSkills
  • Experience with finite element analysis (FEA) and structural analysis.
  • Knowledge of tribology (friction, wear, and lubrication) in space applications.
  • Familiarity with pyrotechnic devices used in spacecraft deployment.
  • Understanding of control systems and feedback mechanisms.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong experience in mechanisms development.
  • Good understanding of mechanical design principles, materials, and manufacturing processes.
  • Experience with CAD software (such as Nx (Siemens) or CATIA) for 3D modeling and simulation.
  • Knowledge of space environment challenges (vacuum, radiation, extreme temperatures) and their impact on mechanisms.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Familiarity with industry standards and guidelines for space mechanisms.
  • Fluent in English. German and French is an asset.
