Role Overview:
CubeSpace is seeking an Environmental Verification Engineer to support the design, modelling, analysis, and environmental testing of space-qualified products. As part of the Environmental Verification Team, you will play a critical role in validating our products under extreme environmental conditions - including vibration, shock, thermal-vacuum, and radiation to ensure their reliability in orbit.
Your primary function is to plan, execute, and document environmental verification activities, working closely with Industrialisation, Electronics Engineering, and Systems Engineering to ensure product compliance, traceability, and certification. This role combines a strong technical foundation with rigorous analytical, reporting, and documentation skills.
We are looking for someone who is detail-oriented, technically curious, and passionate about space system, with the ability to execute structured test campaigns and interpret complex test data.
Key Responsibilities:
Design and manufacture CAD-based support equipment and fixtures for shock, vibration, and thermal testing.
Plan, prepare, and execute shock, vibration, and thermal environmental tests on CubeSpace products.
Compile accurate and comprehensive documentation for all environmental tests, including procedures, results, and observations.
Develop experimental designs and test procedures to characterise structural and thermal behaviour at component and subsystem level.
Instrument devices and assemblies for structural and thermal characterisation, including sensor selection, placement, and calibration.
Perform modelling, analysis, and simulation (analytical, numerical, FEM) of mechanical and thermal responses under shock, vibration, and thermal loads.
Minimum Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Mechatronic Engineering.
Foundational exposure to numerical modelling of mechanical and thermal behaviour - gained through coursework or projects - and familiarity with tools such as Python or finite element (FE) software.
A MEng with a focus on mechanical or thermal modelling and/or testing would be advantageous. Alternatively, demonstrated capability in designing sound modelling/testing approaches for mechanical or thermal systems, paired with strong, clear technical documentation skills, will be highly regarded.
