Job description

Mechanism Design & Kinematics* **Design and optimize complex, lightweight moving mechanisms, including deployment systems (wings, solar arrays, antennas), actuation linkages, hinges, and latching systems. *** **Ensure mechanisms can operate reliably in the extreme thermal environments of the stratosphere (ranging from -70oC to +50oC) without seizing or binding. *** **Select and integrate aerospace-grade bearings, lubricants, gears, and electric actuators. **2. Hands-on Assembly & Integration (AIT)* **Lead the physical assembly and structural integration of the HAPS airframe, payloads, and mechanical subsystems. *** **Perform precision alignments, bonding, fastening, and torqueing of critical composite and metallic components. *** **Troubleshoot mechanical fitment, interference, and tolerance stack-up issues directly on the hardware during build cycles. **3. Structural & Functional Testing* **Define, set up, and execute rigorous physical test plans, including structural load tests, environmental (thermal-vacuum) testing, and mechanism deployment lifecycle testing. *** **Instrument test articles with strain gauges, accelerometers, thermocouples, and displacement sensors. *** **Correlate physical test data back to analytical models to continuously improve future designs. **4. Structural Analysis & Materials* **Perform hand calculations and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to validate the structural integrity of both static structures and moving mechanisms. *** **Utilize advanced CAD software to create detailed 3D models and manufacturing/assembly drawings. **About you**We would love to hear who you are, talk about your experience, vision and how you think you could help us. **In the meantime, it would be great if you had the following:**1.

Requirements

Required Qualifications & Skills* **Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field (industrial, robotics, etc.). *** **Experience: 3+ years of experience with a strong focus on mechanism design and hands-on mechanical assembly/testing within the aerospace, UAV, or robotics industries. *** **Hands-on Expertise: Proven experience in a lab or workshop environment doing mechanical integration, structural bonding, and using precision measurement tools. *** **Simulation Tools: Proficiency in CAD (e.G., SolidWorks, CATIA, NX) and FEA/Kinematic simulation software. *** **AIT Know-How: Experience setting up test rigs, integration processes, data acquisition (DAQ) systems, and working with sensors (strain gauges, load cells). *** **Electronic Control Systems (Highly Appreciated - Bonus): Strong familiarity with or understanding of electronics, microcontrollers (e.G., Arduino, Raspberry Pi, STM32), servo/stepper motor controls, and basic scripting (Python or C/C++) to program, actuate, and test mechanisms automatically. **2. Non-technical Skills* **Excellent communication skills: English, Spanish spoken and written at professional level.
