About the role
- The engineer will be responsible for ensuring that the satellite's mechanical and thermal systems function optimally under the extreme conditions of space, safeguarding both the spacecraft and laser systems.
- Materials Selection: Select materials for mechanical and thermal subsystems that can withstand the harsh conditions of space, including extreme temperatures, vacuum, and radiation.
- Collaboration: Work closely with optical engineers, electrical engineers, and systems engineers to integrate the laser system and other components into the satellite.
Responsibilities
- Develop and implement thermal control strategies to maintain operational temperatures for satellite components, including the 1-kilowatt laser.
- Identify and implement active and passive thermal control systems, such as radiators, heat pipes, and insulation.
- Create detailed technical documentation and reports for design reviews, manufacturing processes, and testing results.
Requirements
- Design and analyze mechanical structures, ensuring they meet the required strength, weight, and stability specifications for satellite deployment.
Skills
- Use simulation tools to predict thermal and mechanical behavior in various space environments (e.g., orbital and launch conditions).
Company info
- We are seeking a highly motivated Thermal Mechanical Engineer to support the design, development, and integration of a satellite equipped with a >1-kilowatt laser.
