Job Description
The Mission
Munich-based OroraTech is developing a constellation of nano-satellites with thermal infrared cameras for automated wildfire detection severe weather warnings and many other applications. Following the successful launches of our FOREST-1 mission in 2022 FOREST-2 in 2023 we launched our next satellite FOREST-3 beginning of 2025 which included an in-house developed payload and the same year our first satellite plane OTC-P1 was launched followed by our newly designed 16U satellite GENA-OT which will be launched end of 2025.
The next step is to improve our satellite design based on all the learnings we have gained and scale up our production to extend our satellite constellation.We are looking for a talented hands-on engineer to support us with the design and testing of the new generation of our satellites and payloads. You will be joining a very motivated and highly enthusiastic team of experts in the fields of mechanical optics electronics spacecraft and software engineering.
What youll be doing
As a Mechanical engineer working student you will:
Support the design of the mechanical structure within individual satellite or payload projects such as developing mounting structures for subsystems or optical components deployment mechanisms or even an entire satellite.
Be involved in all aspects of mechanical design from initial concept to part designs assemblies production drawing generation and manufacturing orders.
Design components for upcoming satellite missions testing setups and mechanical ground support equipment.
Perform hands-on prototyping both with 3D printed and metal parts including supporting first assemblies and debugging to improve your mechanical design
Work closely with our AIT team during development phases and assist with the assembly integration and testing of flight hardware.
Participate in design reviews from the concept level down to individual parts.
