The mission of the Aerospace Mechanical Engineering Design Office is to provide engineering competencies in all physical design activities and to design and develop mechanical and thermal products for Space System business units (Earth Observation, Science, Navigation, Telecom).
From first system synoptic to detail specification, the Mechanical Design Office (MDO) support the Business Units to layout all equipment and create the RF connectivity design (Waveguides, coaxial cables) within our spacecraft product lines.
Our mission is to accommodate the payload equipment in 3D using the Dassault suite of tools (Catia), and to produce detailed routing and design of the RF interconnections via waveguide and coaxial cables, in accordance with interface block diagram, including stress and thermal justification.
In conjunction with Assembly, Integration and Test department, we produce the definition of the payload assembly kitting, installation drawings and bill of materials to allow them to smoothly assemble our satellites in the quickest and most effective way.
We also create the testing definition and detailed design to support the testing activities: jigs, MGSE, non flight RF hardware, from the specification to the readiness for assembly phase. We are engaged in the transformation of our company, supporting the digitalisation of the end to end PLM flow, as a key actor in product digitalisation and data continuity.
The successful candidate will be working within the Physical Design PMTD team on the DDMS (Digital Design and Manufacturing Service) improvement Project. This project is designed to deliver significant financial savings to the business by reducing waste and using digitalisation (digital transformation) as a key tool in improving end to end processes through the business.
The mission will be to look at specifying, developing and documenting the process changes required for making the deployment of the new toolset (including 3DExperience/Catia V6) a success. The new way of working will need to be leaner so a great interaction with the stakeholders within and outside of the Mechanical Design Office will be mandatory.
At the end of the placement, the successful candidate will produce a report that will be presented in front of the department managers and other key stakeholders.
Our placements are open to Undergraduates only. Therefore it is mandatory for candidates to be an undergraduate for the whole duration of the placement. Please inform your graduation date on your application.
Your application should include a CV along with a Cover Letter outlining your motivation and suitability for the role.
