About the Role
The Destinus engineering team is looking for a highly motivated and hands-on mechanical engineer capable of delivering jigs and tooling solutions as part of the research and development in the rocket motor department. In this role, you will design and develop equipment and machines for testing and production of our products. The ideal candidate will have at least 3 years of experience as a mechanical engineer with experience in industrialization projects, mechanical design and DFM with a demonstrated ability to take ownership during development and drive technical solutions.
Responsibilities
Take the technical lead for the Jigs and Tools development
Review product designs from a production point of view
Understand and evaluate the production steps and the needed tools
Research existing off-the-shelf components and combine them to a production solution
Generate 3D CAD models, drawings, bills of material, and other related documentation required for production.
Deliver technical documentation including any engineering calculations, analysis and assumptions required to substantiate your design decisions and solutions.
Manage suppliers and manufacturers by addressing any technical questions and resolving any issues which may arise during the manufacturing process.
Select standard parts, fasteners, equipment, and consumables following best practices and industry standards.
Coach junior engineers and interns in jigs and tooling design, manufacturing and CAD.
Participate in design reviews and technical discussions during different development stages.
Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including mechanical, testing, and industrialization engineers, to ensure seamless integration and functionality of the components into the vehicle.
Requirements
Qualifications and Experience
BSc. In Mechanical Engineering, Design Engineering or a related discipline.
Ideally, technical training as a mechanical designer/drafter, Toolmaker or Mechanic
Min. 3 years of experience in mechanical engineering with close ties to jigs & tools for production
Knowledge of machining, sheet metal, composites and assembly processes, and of metrology and inspection methods.
Lean manufacturing knowledge is desirable.
Experience with 3D printing for tooling is a plus.
Experience with design of automated solutions, special machines or test benches is a benefit
Ideally, experience in several different phases: design, build, integration, test, and operation.
Good communication skills, proactive attitude, and problem-solving skills.
The ability to work to strict timescales as part of an integrated, multidisciplinary team and autonomously.
