EPS: Mechanical Engineer — Battery Pack
FlatSat: Test Engineer
Mechanical Engineer — Battery PackDesign and validate the battery-pack structure, including mounting, thermal behavior, vibration resistance, and manufacturability.
As part of the FlatSat team, you will be responsible for designing, writing, and helping execute the test procedures that verify the satellite's subsystems work correctly together. This means translating mission requirements into concrete test cases, documenting results, and working closely with subsystem teams to identify and resolve integration issues. This role is central to the mission's verification and validation process and offers a great opportunity to develop a rigorous engineering mindset while collaborating across the entire Spacecraft team.
CAD tools such as Fusion; thermal and vibration analysis.
Interest in systems engineering and verification methodologies; Meticulous, detail-oriented and comfortable documenting test procedures and results; A collaborative mindset and enthusiasm for working across teams

BA3+
Simulation: Thermal Engineer
Simulation: Structural Engineer
As a Thermal Engineer, you will be responsible for understanding and managing the thermal behaviour of the satellite. You will analyse heat generation and dissipation, identify thermal challenges, and develop solutions to ensure that critical components remain within their operating temperature limits.
As part of the Simulation Team, you will support the structural qualification of the satellite by performing FEM simulations and analysing loads, stresses, deformations and vibrations. You will help verify the structural integrity of the satellite under launch conditions and support the planning and evaluation of structural qualification tests.
Taken Courses in thermodynamics and Heat & Mass Transfer; Experience using simulation software; Experience with CAD Software (Fusion etc..); Willingness to learn something new
Experience with ANSYS or similar FEA software; Knowledge of structural mechanics and FEM; Experience with CAD and simulation model preparation; Willingness to learn something new
