About the Job

Requirements

An engineering diploma at Bac+5 level in mechanics, materials, or aeronautics.
Three to ten years of experience in mechanical design or mechanical architecture in a highly constrained field such as aerospace, aeronautics, defense, or industrial equipment.
Proficiency in computer-aided design and at least one finite element analysis software.
Knowledge of space mechanical and thermal environments is an advantage.
Ability to lead complex technical topics and multidisciplinary interfaces.
Rigor, autonomy, teamwork, and practical judgment.

Responsibilities

Define the mechanical architecture of equipment or subsystems, including structures, chassis, housings, and antenna or electronics supports.
Design or supervise 3D CATIA modeling and mechanical assemblies.
Perform static, modal, vibration, shock, and thermostructural mechanical analyses.
Define and validate materials, processes, and treatments that meet space constraints.
Prepare justification packages including finite element models, correlations, mass budgets, and tolerances.
Participate in or lead design reviews, including DRR, PDR, CDR, and QR.
Define mechanical tests, including vibration, shock, and thermal-vacuum tests, and analyze the results.
Track AIT integration in a cleanroom and address nonconformities.
Coordinate with systems, thermal, industrial, and supplier teams.

Desired Qualifications

Knowledge of space mechanical and thermal environments.

Description du poste

En tant qu’Architecte Mécanique, vous êtes le/la garant(e) de la cohérence mécanique d’un équipement ou d’un sous-système spatial. Vous pilotez l’ensemble des activités de conception, justification, industrialisation et intégration, en interface avec les disciplines système, thermique, matériaux, AIT et production.

Vos responsabilités

Définir l’architecture mécanique d’équipements ou sous-systèmes (structures, châssis, boîtiers, support d’antennes ou d’électronique).
Concevoir ou superviser la modélisation 3D CATIA et les assemblages mécaniques.
Réaliser les analyses mécaniques : statique, modale, vibratoire, choc, thermo‑structurelle.
Définir et valider les matériaux, procédés et traitements compatibles avec les contraintes spatiales.
Rédiger les dossiers de justification (modèles FEM, corrélations, budgets massiques, tolérances).
Participer ou conduire les revues de conception : DRR, PDR, CDR, QR.
Définir les essais mécaniques (vibrations, chocs, thermo‑vac) et analyser les résultats.
Suivre l’intégration AIT en salle blanche et traiter les non‑conformités.
Travailler en interface avec les équipes système, thermique, industrielle et fournisseurs.

Environnement technique

CAO : CATIA V5/V6, 3DEXPERIENCE
Calcul : Abaqus, Nastran, Patran, Hypermesh
Matériaux : aluminium, titane, Invar, composites carbone, additive manufacturing
Normes : ECSS, procédés mécaniques et spatiaux
Méthodes : tolérancement, chaîne de cotes, DfM/DfA

Qualifications

Diplôme d’ingénieur en mécanique, matériaux ou aéronautique (Bac+5).
Expérience de 3 à 10 ans en conception ou architecture mécanique dans un domaine à fortes contraintes (spatial, aéronautique, défense, équipements industriels).
Maîtrise de la CAO et d’un logiciel de calcul FEM.
Connaissance des environnements mécaniques et thermiques spatiaux (atout).
Capacité à piloter des sujets techniques complexes et des interfaces multi‑métiers.
Rigueur, autonomie, esprit d’équipe, bon sens pratique.
