Summary and responsibilities

Role overview

Summary

The AIT MGSE Engineer will be responsible for designing, procuring, and commissioning Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSEs) for spacecraft preparation. This role involves collaborating with engineering teams, performing mechanical analysis, and managing supplier relationships to ensure timely delivery and implementation of MGSEs.

Here at The Exploration Company, we are building spacecraft for humanity.

We want you as a talented AIT MGSE Engineer to help us in our mission by designing and delivering the MGSEs needed for the preparation of our next capsule.

Key Responsibilities

  • Work closely with Engineering and AIT colleagues to understand and refine the requirements/timelines for the different MGSEs that we will need for various assembly or testing activities.

  • Conceptualise, design (CAD including manufacturing drawings), procure and commission the MGSEs.

  • Confirm with mechanical analysis/hand calculations/proof tests that the design is compatible with the external loads.

  • Discuss with suppliers the MGSE designs for ease of manufacturing and with the most adequate processes.

  • Follow up the manufacturing/procurement with the suppliers (with the support of our supply chain team) and answer any technical questions/concerns ensuring timely delivery of all items.

  • Provide necessary instructions and support the assembly/commissioning/ implementation of these MGSEs.

What we would love to see from you

  • Mechanical / Aerospace engineering degree or similar with focus on machine / structural design.

  • Minimum 2 years of experience in CAD design + drafting (using Siemens NX or similar) and FE analysis (using Hypermesh or similar).

  • Good understanding of machine design and different manufacturing processes (e.g. machining, welding, etc), design for manufacturing and GD&T.

  • Familiarity with standard margin calculation methodologies for various applications like beams, bolted joints, welds, etc.

  • Experience with design of test setups/jigs/fixtures and planning/execution of mechanical tests in-house would be a plus.

  • Good at documentation including design descriptions, assembly instructions, test reports, etc.

  • Creative with innovative ideas and technical problem solving/troubleshooting skills.

  • Basic hands-on experience with mechanical assembly and simple machining tools like drilling machine.

  • Previous experience in space AIT and MGSE design would be highly appreciated.

Why you should join us!

What makes us special here at The Exploration Company and why we think you will enjoy working here is:

  • We’re Agile - we make decisions fast whilst keeping our goals and systems in mind

  • We’re Open and Collaborative - we are transparent about risks and obstacles, so that we can cooperate to overcome them

  • We have a lot of Fun - we refuel our energy knowing we are democratising space. It’s a wonderful and rare opportunity, are YOU up for the challenge?
