Architecte Mécanique (H/F) – Spatial
Core
Mechanical architect ensuring the mechanical coherence of space equipment or subsystems, leading design, justification, industrialization, and integration activities.
Role type
Senior IC mechanical architect (space systems)
Builds
Space equipment and subsystems (structures, chassis, enclosures, antenna supports, electronic supports)
Domain
Aerospace + Space engineering
Required skills
Mechanical architecture definition, 3D CAD modeling (CATIA), Finite Element Analysis (FEM), material selection for space constraints, design review leadership (DRR/PDR/CDR/QR), mechanical testing analysis, AIT integration oversight, multi-disciplinary interface management
Preferred skills
Knowledge of space mechanical and thermal environments, additive manufacturing processes
Technologies

Responsibilities
Define mechanical architecture for equipment or subsystems; Design or supervise 3D modeling and mechanical assemblies; Perform mechanical analyses (static, modal, vibrational, shock, thermo-structural); Define and validate materials and processes compatible with space constraints; Write justification dossiers (FEM models, correlations, mass budgets, tolerances); Lead or participate in design reviews; Define mechanical tests (vibrations, shocks, thermo-vac) and analyze results; Follow AIT integration in cleanroom and handle non-conformities; Interface with system, thermal, industrial, and supplier teams
Seniority
Mid-Senior, hands-on IC
