Are you the Mechanical Engineer we're looking for?

— Design and develop the mechanical solutions for our products and subsystems so they meet their structural and operational limits.

— Own the geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T) and tolerance stack-up analysis that keeps parts buildable and interfaces robust.

— Plan and run mechanical qualification and verification campaigns (vibration and shock), and support thermal-vacuum testing, to prove your designs against a space environment.

— Operate the environmental test facilities hands-on:setting up and running the equipment, writing test procedures, and designingand building the fixtures the tests need.

— Analyse structural behaviour (e.g. FEA) — covering stiffness and modal response, strength margins of safety, and random-vibration response — to a depth that matches the design’s criticality, and use the results to make and justify your design decisions.

— Optimise your designs for manufacture and assembly (DfMA) in a buildable, well-documented state before handing them over to AIT and production.

— Provide mechanical expertise at the interfaces, including owning the mechanical interface control documents (ICDs), working with electrical, thermal, AIT, and production colleagues to keep the product coherent.

— Keep documentation, CAD models and configuration records accurate, traceable, and review-ready, so the work is transferable across the team.

Must-haves

— You’re able to design mechanical structures that can withstand extreme conditions —load paths, stiffness, fastening, and tolerance principles.

—Fluency in CAD modelling, manufacturing drawings, and mechanical development workflows.

— Hands-on experience with environmental testing and qualification.

—Proficiency in structural analysis, simulation,and FEA, plus a working knowledge of manufacturability, industrialisation, and DfMA.

— The mindset to work autonomously and take ownership.

Nice-to-haves

— An understanding of space quality standards, operational reliability requirements, and qualification constraints.

— Experience with or exposure to space, defence, or other high-reliability hardware engineering environments is a plus.

— 2+  years of professional experience in mechanical design and development.

Joining EDGX means becoming part of an exciting journey to revolutionise the space industry. Here’s what you can expect:

‍

Unique Opportunity

— Mission Impact: Your designs fly. The hardwareyou build and qualify ends up onboard spacecraft in orbit.

—Technical Ownership: Take real responsibility from day one in a lean team where your decisions shape the product.

—Shaping the Industry: Work at the forefront of a new generation of space companies. We’re redefining how the industry operates and setting the standard for the rest.

‍

International Reach

—International Exposure: Work together with satellite manufacturers and operators across Europe, building hardware that powers their latest satellites.

—Startup Culture: Joina fast-growing spacetech startup with a young, driven team and a dynamic,hands-on culture.

‍

Compensation & Perks

—Compensation & Benefits: Receive a competitive salary package with extra-legal benefits, including a company car or mobility budget.

—Team Life: Takepart in monthly Wacky Fridays with team events, dinners, and team-building activities.

—Work-life balance: We value your time outside the office, including one work-from-home day a week.

—Travel opportunities: The chance to travel as part of the job (testing campaigns, satellite integration, international conferences,...).
