The Exploration Company
Bordeaux
Here at The Exploration Company, we are building spacecrafts for humanity.

We want you as a talented AIT Mechanical Engineer to help us in our mission by:

  • Setting up the facilities and the MGSE (Mechanical Ground support equipment) that we will have to install.
  • Working closely together with the rest of the AIT team.
You will be part of the Lander Team within the Future Systems Department, and will report to the Principal Engineer of the project and the Future Systems Lead.

Key Responsibilities

In your capacity as AIT Mechanical Engineer, your role will be continuously evolving, but day to day your duties will include:
  • Write the procedures detailing the tests to be performed to validate and qualify all the mechanical subsystem, with the support of the CAD and mechanical design team.
  • Be involved and responsible for the good execution of the mechanical operations and testing the systems, following procedures and documenting all the anomalies or deviations.
  • Be involved in the resolutions of anomalies happening during the integration and tests.
  • Give your feedback and report any problem to the AIT manager. We will all work on a continuous improvement pattern to make sure we will fit with the quality standard.
  • Define required mechanical tools and GSE.
  • Set up a good work environment, for example identifying any missing tool to do properly all the tests. You will also work on the organization and management of all these tools.

In the role of AIT Mechanical Engineer ideally, you will have the following:
  • Mechanical or Aerospace degree (Bsc. minimum)
  • 3+ years of experience in hands-on mechanical AIT for aerospace systems
  • Knowledge of ESA and NASA quality and safety standards
  • Broad knowledge of structures and mechanical subsystems for aerospace vehicles
  • Welding experience will be considered a plus
  • CAD design experience will be considered a plus
  • Passion for advancing the commercial space industry
  • Highly motivated to work in a fast paced, autonomously driven, and demanding start-up environment
