Orbital Systems Programme Manager (m/f/d)

DEINE MISSION As part of our Systems Engineering team in Munich, Germany, you will contribute to the development of robotic mechanisms. The role is focused on the early concept phase: surveying the available solutions, deriving concepts, and performing trade-offs, while also offering the opportunity for theoretical design work and hands-on involvement with complex hardware. We also offer the opportunity to convert the work into a Master’s thesis, with the exact topic tailored to the candidate’s interests and strengths.   Your role will include: * Assist in conceptual analysis and design trade-offs on robotic mechanisms * Survey the state of the art in robotic mechanisms to establish what solutions are available * Contribute to mechanical modeling and structural analysis, using CATIA V5 / 3DEXPERIENCE * Contribute to the extension of internal Python-based tools used for mechanical design * Conduct Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and thermal analysis * Participate in the MAIT (Manufacturing, Assembly, Integration, and Testing) process * Prepare documentation for the deliverables inside mechanisms-based projects DEIN PROFIL * Enrolled in a Master’s or advanced Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Mechatronics, or a related field * Knowledge of space mechanisms, load-bearing structures and an interest in complex mechanical assemblies * Familiarity with structural and thermal considerations, space mechanisms and space materials is expected * Knowledge of space grade electrical and data connectors is a plus * Good to have knowledge of relevant standards such as ECSS-E-ST-33-01C and ECSS-E-ST-32-10C * Experience with the testing of space hardware is recommended * Strong analytical and communication skills * Proactive, structured approach, and able to work independently as well as in a team WIR BIETEN * Immediate and flexible start * Flexible working hours * Potential for a Master’s project and/or full-time employment afterwards * Empowerment and independence, with mentoring and access to industry experts for academic success * Subsidy for EGYM Wellpass and Deutschlandticket * Complimentary beverages, company events, and professional development opportunities

DEINE MISSION As part of our Systems Engineering team in Munich, Germany, you will take a central role in the design and coordination of our Dynamic Space Operations roadmap. The role is focused on the early concept phase: surveying the available solutions, deriving concepts, and performing trade-offs. We also offer the opportunity to convert the work into a Master’s thesis, with the exact topic tailored to the candidate’s interests and strengths.  Your role will include: * Detailed operational analysis of our systems, identifying stakeholders and their needs * Functional analysis, functional allocation and definition of the physical architecture * Organising and carrying out all the trade-offs necessary to the justification of the architecture * Derive system, subsystem and components functional performance requirements * Support the search for appropriate suppliers * Support the derivation of adequate development plans * Defining tests and analyses to ensure the product meets its requirements * Prepare documentation for the deliverables * Support with other relevant ad-hoc activities, as necessary DEIN PROFIL * Enrolled in a Master’s or advanced Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering or a related field * Hands-on experience working in student projects is an asset, especially student aerospace projects * Experience in Model Based Systems Engineering, especially the Capella Framework, is an asset * Fluent in English is mandatory, knowledge of German is an asset. * Strong analytical and communication skills * Proactive, structured approach, and able to work independently as well as in a team WIR BIETEN * Immediate and flexible start * Flexible working hours * Potential for a Master’s project and/or full-time employment afterwards * Empowerment and independence, with mentoring and access to industry experts for academic success * Subsidy for EGYM Wellpass and Deutschlandticket * Complimentary beverages, company events, and professional development opportunities
