Job Description
Who are we
Who are we ICEYE is a global provider of earth observation data operating the largest constellation of remote sensing small SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellites. Our cuttingedge technology delivers unparalleled insights and imagery from space empowering decisionmakers across various industries. We are now expanding our aerial observation solutions with the development of a High Altitude PseudoSatellite (HAPS) aircraft. This is a fastpaced project that requires an experienced engineer with good first principles knowledge is able to apply them to develop aircraft engineering solutions.
Our team is a tightknit group of experts across many disciplines (e.g. aerospace engineering composite structures mechanical design software development avionics radar technology etc.. Were an innovative driven team who strive for excellence in everything we do. Teamwork curiosity and having fun are our core values at ICEYE and contribute to making the impossible possible!
What is the role
As a key player in our team you will implement and optimize the design and manufacturing processes needed for developing mechanical assemblies and structures for our HAPS aircraft. Youll collaborate closely with our engineering and manufacturing teams as well as our suppliers.
You will be responsible for designing prototypes and flight worthy aircraft components. You will take responsibility and work directly with a senior engineer for developing clean sheet engineering designs from the conceptual manufacturing to the testing stages. Its necessary to be able to work on your own and make key design decisions based on past experiences and engineering principles learnt at the university. Your evaluation and input will be vital in the design processes to quickly develop components in a fast moving and dynamic work environment. Handson experience with fabricating prototypes is highly desirable.
Requirements
- BS/MS in Aerospace Aeronautical or Mechanical Engineering.
- Demonstrated experience 5 years) of owning a part design through the full design cycles manufacturing and testing processes.
- Experience in developing clean sheet designs and developing them to a conceptual working prototype.
- Demonstrated practical and creative problemsolving abilities for simple and complex engineering design problems.
- Experience with design for manufacturing methodologies.
- General aircraft engineering knowledge and best practices to align them to manufacturing and COTS solutions.
- Demonstrated experience in designing mechanical assemblies tooling and fixtures and general knowledge of composite structures manufacturing and assembly.
- Proficiency in parameterized CAD design software (Inventor CATIA NX Solidworks).
- Proficiency with FEA tools (ANSYS Nastran etc..
- Proficiency with structural hand calculations.
