You will join an assembly, integration, and testing team for satellites, to provide support to AIT (Assembly, Integration, and Test) engineers and technicians.

Your main tasks will be:

  • Operations in an ISO7 or ISO8 cleanroom,
  • Reading assembly procedures
  • Mechanical integration: Perform the assembly and integration of electronic equipment, mechanisms, satellite structures, and elements/components such as electrical harnesses, RF harnesses (waveguides and coaxial cables), MLI thermal protection, heaters, and metal/composite supports and brackets.
  • Perform bolted assemblies and bonded assemblies.
  • Use specific tooling (torque wrench, test benches, lifting equipment).
  • Test preparation: Set up and organize the material, equipment, and tools necessary for various mechanical, thermal, optical, RF tests.
  • Equipment verification: Inspect and verify components and equipment before integration,
  • Documentation and reports: document each integration step.
  • Identify and report anomalies encountered during AIT.

Required skills:

  • Reading mechanical drawings and bills of materials.
  • Experience in the assembly and integration of equipment, mechanisms, and satellite structures.
  • Mastery of precision mechanical assembly techniques: fitting, torque tightening, bonding.
  • Ability to integrate electrical and radio frequency harnesses
  • Experience in a cleanroom environment.
  • Sense of rigor, organization, and teamwork.
  • A minimum of 2 years in Satellite AIT
  • Ability to hold a conversation in English (B2 level)
