Project Description

​

We are looking for a marketing individual currently pursuing master’s in Engineering at a UK based University. We are currently working on the design for standard CubeSat platforms which can be sold commercially-off-the-shelf (COTS). You will be required to design CubeSat deployers and produce drawings for manufacturing. Ideally you will be pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Propulsion Engineering, Automobile Engineering, or any other relevant field for this role.

​

Responsibilities

• Study spacecraft design procedure

• Design and model CubeSat deployers using a CAD software (Ideally Siemens NX)

• Optimise the design and design procedure

• Produce drawings of the models

• Prepare technical documents and presentations

Essential Skills

• Proficiency in 3D modelling CAD packages (Ideally Siemens NX, other software may be considered, and training will be provided to use Siemens NX)

• Proficiency in producing drawings for manufacturing

• Basic understanding of FEA for satellite structures

• Ability to work on short deadlines

Optional Skills

• Ability to perform detailed FEA on structures is appreciated but not essential

• Knowledge of Animation packages like Blender, Cinema4D and 3DSMAX
