Summary and responsibilities
Role overview
Summary
The Mechanical Analyses Engineer will contribute to the development, justification, and validation of spacecraft vehicles, working closely with CAD, thermal, and mechanism engineers. This role involves owning the mechanical design of primary and secondary structures, driving mass optimization, and performing structural analyses to validate designs under various environments.
Here at The Exploration Company, we are building spacecrafts for humanity.
Here at The Exploration Company we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refueled in orbit, and which carries cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.
We want you as a talented Mechanical Analyses Engineer to help us in our mission by contributing to the development, justification and validation of our vehicle. You will work closely with our CAD, thermal and mechanism engineers to optimize together the vehicle mechanical design. You will be part of the Nyx Design Office and will report to the Principal Mechanical Engineer.
Key Responsibilities:
Own the mechanical design of primary and secondary structures of the vehicle.
Drive mass optimization strategies while maintaining structural integrity and compliance with mission requirements.
Design and analyze both metallic and composite structures using advanced materials (e.g., space-graded aluminum alloys, CFRP, honeycomb panels).
Define material selection and consider manufacturing constraints in the design.
Support the structural development collaborating with external suppliers, from concept to delivery.
Develop and manage technical specifications, statements of work, and interface control documents.
Ensure supplier designs meet performance, quality, and schedule requirements.
Contribute to the overall mechanical architecture of the spacecraft.
Ensure proper integration of structural components with other subsystems (thermal, avionics...).
Perform or oversee structural analyses (FEA) to validate designs under launch, orbital and reentry environments.
Support environmental testing and qualification campaigns.
Generate detailed design documentation and verification plans.
Ensure compliance with relevant space industry standards (e.g., ECSS, NASA, ISO).
