Job Summary
Job Description
The candidate will work on various small satellite missions within the companys Mechanical Design team. This area is responsible for all tasks related to the mechanical and structural design of satellites including modeling simulation and analysis of components and structures using advanced design tools.
Throughout this process the selected candidate will actively participate in key activities such as detailed design of satellite mechanical subsystems development of optimized structures for launch and space environments component integration and the creation of 3D models and assemblies. Additionally they will collaborate in design validation through finite element analysis and physical testing ensuring compliance with technical and mission requirements. They will also work closely with other engineering teams to ensure compatibility between different satellite subsystems and optimize structural and thermal performance.
Moreover the candidate may provide support in mission analysis areas when necessary. This will include activities such as the selection of physical components for the chosen architecture defining mission and technical specifications for all subsystems and assisting in their procurement. They will also be involved in system performance analysis and technical budget management as well as managing internal and external interfaces for all mission elements.

About us
About Alén Space
Alén Space is aNew Space company focused on the development of missions based on Nanosatellites as well as products and services related to them. Our mission is to help our clients to develop their business plan designing manufacturing and operating satellites in order to execute the application they need.
While Alén Space is a new company our team has been involved in several complete nanosatellite missions from specification to delivery during the last15 years. Alén Space technical team is composed of systems engineers electronic engineers AIV engineers software and operations engineers and project managers; with a large experience on IOD communication commercial and scientific missions with private and public institutions such as the European Space Agency.
Alén Spaces value proposition resides in the flexibility and expertise of our team. We utilize our design and testing methodologies which allow the use of components from various suppliers to create the most suitable platform for the requested mission. During more than a decadeall our nanosatellites missions have been fully designed in-house following the same multi-provider approach resulting on a 100% success rate in orbit for all launched missions.
At Alén Space quality and flexibility in the design manufacturing and testing are hallmarks of the company. The quality of the process is achieved through meticulous testing and verification processes keeping traceability of all the executed activities. The flexibility is achieved thanks to the proximity relationship with our clients and to our supplier agnostic approach. This relationship aims not only at easing the communication process but also at allowing our commercial clients to take an important role on the design this line we design the most flexible spacecraft platforms to accommodate subsystem suppliers changes without heavily impacting the overall mission.Our systems and AIV engineers work closely with the client in order to take decisions and involve them in the process.
Our team has enhanceda work method that applies the strict quality standards set by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Cooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS). All of our management system engineering and AIV processes are based on those standards.
Quality Flexibility Scalability Proximity Expertise and Success define all Alén Space values.
