🛠️ Mechanical/Electromechanical Design Engineer (Aerospace Industry)

📍 Charleroi, Belgium | 🕒 Full-time | 🌍 Hybrid possible with travel to Leuven

Industry: Aerospace

About the Role

Join a leading player in the space systems sector, where you'll help design and validate high-performance mechanical packaging solutions for advanced electronic equipment used in satellites and space missions.

You’ll work in a dynamic, multidisciplinary engineering team that bridges the gap between mechanical design and electronic functionality—ensuring optimal performance under extreme thermal and vibrational constraints.

Key Responsibilities

• Design physical solutions (equipment packaging) that meet internal and external specifications including size, mass, vibration, thermal, and manufacturing constraints.
• Lead mechanical and thermal validations of designs.
• Conduct detailed analyses and sizing of equipment based on environmental constraints.
• Define modular breakdowns of equipment and follow up on technical development.
• Collaborate with manufacturing teams, test teams, and project managers to ensure smooth product development.
• Support recurring product adaptations, anomaly handling, and obsolescence management.
• Review and validate environmental test reports.

Your Profile

• Engineering degree in Mechanical or Electromechanical Engineering (Industrial or Civil).
• At least one relevant project related to the responsibilities listed above.
• Solid grasp of thermal and vibration physics.
• Proficiency in CATIA V5 (or equivalent CAD software).
• Experience with Finite Element Analysis tools like Ansys for mechanical and thermal simulation.
• Basic knowledge of electronics and component-level design.
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes, design-for-manufacturing principles, and industrial constraints.
• Strong communication and coordination skills, team spirit, and leadership in transversal activities.
• Comfortable with technical English (written and spoken).
• Willingness to travel occasionally to Leuven.

What’s In It For You

• The chance to work on cutting-edge aerospace projects with real-world impact.
• Collaborate with experts in multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Shape products from concept through validation and support.
