This position combines hands-on engineering responsibility for internally developed mechanisms and robotic systems with Technical Supply Management (TSM) activities for externally procured subsystems. Candidates are expected to actively contribute to both areas throughout their career development. The role focuses on the development and technical management of challenging mechanism and robotic systems for space applications, offering the opportunity to work on the complete lifecycle of highly demanding aerospace products.

As the department is currently pursuing and preparing several potential projects in the field of space robotics, experience or a strong interest in robotics, mechatronics, motion control and autonomous systems is considered a significant advantage.

Internal Development of Mechanisms and Robotics Systems

• Define and analyze technical requirements and develop concepts for space mechanisms, mechatronicsystems and robotic applications.
• Support the completedevelopment lifecycle from concept definition through verification and delivery, considering performance, manufacturability, reliability, costand schedule constraints.
• Coordinate technical activities with multidisciplinary engineering teams, including Mechanical,Structural, Thermal, Electrical and Optical Engineering.
• Perform requirement flow-down,interface management and technical budget management at subsystem and equipment level.
• Take technical ownership of assigned mechanism or robotic equipment and support its development throughout the project lifecycle.
• Select, specify and sizemechanism and drivetrain components such as motors, sensors, bearings,gear stages and transmission elements.
• Evaluate mechanical designs,engineering drawings, manufacturing concepts and tolerance allocationswith respect to functionality, manufacturability and reliability.
• Perform technical analyses,trade-offs and simulations to support engineering decisions regarding performance, manufacturability, reliability, verification and cost, using tools such as MATLAB/Simulink and MSC ADAMS.
• Support Assembly, Integration and Test (AIT) activities through active participation in integration andtest campaigns, troubleshooting support and assessment of verificationresults.
• Support the development andevaluation of future robotic technologies and applications for space missions.
  Contribute to technicalproposals, internal R&D activities and the continuous improvement of departmental methods, processes and technologies.

Technical Supply Management (TSM) of External Developments

• Act as Technical Supply Manager(TSM) for externally developed mechanism, mechatronic and roboticsubsystems.
  Serve as a technical interface between suppliers, project teams and engineering disciplines throughout the project lifecycle.
• Define technical requirements,interfaces, technical budgets and acceptance criteria for subcontracted developments, support their proper flow-down to supplier level and contribute to the closure of related technical issues.
• Review and assesssupplier-proposed concepts, analyses, designs, manufacturing documentation and verification evidence to ensure compliance with project requirements.
• Monitor technical progress,requirement compliance, risks, non-conformances and mitigation activities throughout the supplier development lifecycle.
• Support the preparation,execution and close-out of technical reviews and milestones, includingSRR, PDR, CDR, QR and TRR activities.
• Coordinate and supportverification, qualification, acceptance and integration activities, including participation in major subsystem test campaigns when required.
• Support the successful delivery of compliant, verified and fully…
