Description

Manpower is looking for an Aerospace Company for

Junior Mechanisms Design Engineer

Job Description
The candidate will be in charge to define the project solutions concerning the mechanisms for space missions vehicles. The candidate will analyze requirements at subsystem level which will be the basis for the design definition.
The candidate will define design solutions for mechanisms, including selection of components (e.g. springs, dampers, gearbox, levers), with associated materials and processes.
Mass efficient structural solutions must be in synergy with the selected aerospace materials to be able to withstand the launch and mission loads, possible re-entry and landing impact loads.
FEM and Multibody analyses capability is required to support the identified design solutions and some detailed local model to assess the behavior of the most critical areas. The mechanisms design engineer has also to support the development process based on dedicated test articles and breadboards intended to validate the  design solutions and the performed analyses and must have knowledge of CAD and drawings to drive the elaboration of the proposed design solutions.

Planned activities

Design of mechanisms for manned and non-manned modules and satellites, that include: Spacecraft mechanical design based on aerospace materials; the following tasks are typically worked out: Definition and sizing of structural parts and interfaces either by hand calculation or preliminary FEM analysis Definition and sizing of mechanisms parts and interfaces either by hand calculation, preliminary FEM analysis and Multibody analysis Selection of materials and associated surface treatments Definition of required tolerances Review of CAD models and drawings Finite Element Modelling with use of FEMAP, Patran o Hypermesh pre and post; Structural static & normal mode analyses based on FEM (e.g. Nastran); Multibody modeling and analysis with ADAMS or Motion View/Motion Solver Support the development and verification plan of spacecraft mechanisms Reporting (Design and Analysis report, support to design and development plans, support to instrumentation plan for mechanical testing) The following task could be requested occasionally: Support to static, kinematic, and dynamic testing preparation, attendance and results evaluation. Specification/design/development/modeling of mechanism and relevant control laws (supported by MATLAB / SIMULINK or similar)
