Senior Mechanical Engineer (f/m/d)

Kurz zusammengefasst

The role of Senior Mechanical Ground Systems Engineer at Isar Aerospace involves contributing to the development of ground systems infrastructure for rockets. The company specializes in creating the ground-based components that support rocket launches, including essential equipment like the Launch Table, Transporter/Erector, and Hold-Down-Release Mechanism. These systems are crucial for the launchpad and various testing facilities. The main responsibilities of this role include managing mechanical (sub)systems within larger projects, ensuring requirements are met, and providing technical guidance to junior and mid-level engineers. The engineer will design, plan, and iterate mechanical and structural systems using calculation, CAD tools, and numerical simulations. Additionally, they will create manufacturing and integration drawings, perform trade-offs, select and procure hardware, and act as the technical point of contact for external parties. The role also involves writing technical documentation, conducting design reviews, and ensuring compliance with environmental and safety regulations. Travel to construction and test sites for on-site coordination is also part of the job. To qualify for this position, candidates must have a B.Sc. or M.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field. They need at least 7 years of relevant professional experience in mechanical or aerospace engineering. Proficiency in system-level mechanical architecture of complex ground support and launch infrastructure is essential. Excellent practical experience with 3D CAD software such as Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, or Siemens NX is required, along with advanced mechanical design and analysis skills. A strong understanding of manufacturing, assembly, commissioning, and operational constraints is also necessary. Excellent analytical skills and the ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical engineering solutions are crucial. Nice-to-have skills include fluency in German, knowledge of rocket propulsion technology, and experience with test facility and launch pad design. Experience with structural, thermal, and vibration analysis in tools like Ansys or NASTRAN, as well as hydraulic system design, is beneficial. The role is based in a team-oriented environment where adaptability, organization, and effective communication are valued. The engineer will serve as a role model for junior engineers, providing technical expertise and mentorship. What the role asks for: - B.Sc./M.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or equivalent. - 7+ years of relevant professional experience in the field of mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering or equivalent. - System-level mechanical architecture of complex ground support and launch infrastructure. - Excellent practical experience with Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, Siemens NX or similar 3D CAD software incl. GD&T. - English, fluent. - Nice-to-have: German, fluent.
