Job Description:

The Mechanisms team at SSTL seeks an enthusiastic, success driven and committed mechanisms engineer to support the existing and expanding range of space mechanisms used on SSTL spacecraft. This is an amazing opportunity for an engineer to work on space mechanisms in a stimulating and mission-critical environment! The vacancy requires a high level of electro-mechanical technical design, analysis, production, and test coupled with the requirement to manage multiple work packages. The role will allow the engineer to work on multiple products and influence the product offerings to fulfil the requirements of mission-level projects. Strong engineering capability coupled with a positive attitude is essential… being a space-guru is not!

Job Responsibility:

  • Design and analysis of new or evolution of existing mechanism products including working with other areas of the business for system trade-offs
  • Design for manufacture (DFM)
  • Hands-on engineering including development and flight build, testing and spacecraft integration
  • Managing multiple tasks and work packages in parallel with changeable priorities
  • Interfacing with internal and external customers including presentations and technical reviews
  • Authoring technical documents (e.g., design reports, procedures, test reports)

Requirements:

  • Mechanical design experience of stress-critical components, implementing precision tolerance analysis, drafting, materials and manufacturing methods
  • Awareness and understanding of the use of electronics and software/firmware in an engineering environment and demonstrated ability to help electronics/software engineers test and debug is an advantage, although electronics/software design for flight will be undertaken by other teams at SSTL
  • MEng or BEng or equivalent in engineering (i.e. mechanical, mechatronic or similar)
  • An appreciation of Design for Manufacture (DFM)
  • Self-motivated, creative, high attention to detail and accountable
  • Practical ability
  • Ability to work autonomously or within project team(s) and able to work as in a ‘One Team’ environment
  • Strong communication within the organisation and outside to customers and suppliers
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under pressure and in an organised manner: positive and persistent attitude
  • Flexible and adaptable to changing priorities
  • Knowledge of components that would be used in mechanisms
  • Use of CAD and FEA software knowledge preferable with design/idealisation intent
  • Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint etc.)
  • Able to demonstrate company mindsets and behaviours
  • Be accountable, drive & delivery, communicate effectively, self-manage effectively, work as one team
What we offer:
  • 32 days Holiday plus Bank Holidays
  • Pension Scheme with Life Assurance
  • Private Medical & International Travel Insurance
  • Annual Bonus Scheme
  • Share Incentive Plan
  • Enhanced Maternity, Paternity & Shared Parental Pay for new parents
  • High Street Discount Scheme
