INSPECITY is looking for a Design Engineer to work on the development of mechanical hardware for satellite systems

Position Summary



  • The role involves taking engineering requirements through concept development, design calculations, detailed design, manufacturing, assembly, testing, and design iterations. 


  • The engineer will work closely with R&D, system engineering, analysis, manufacturing, testing, and QA/QC teams, with ownership of mechanical design and associated engineering documentation.


  • We are looking for someone with strong engineering fundamentals who can translate requirements into practical, manufacturable hardware—not just create CAD models.


Responsibilities



  • Develop concepts, 3D CAD models, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings for aerospace components, systems, and test hardware.

  • Translate system and functional requirements into practical mechanical designs, considering performance, mass, packaging, interfaces, operating environment, manufacturability, and assembly.

  • Perform appropriate engineering/design calculations to size components, evaluate design margins, and substantiate design decisions.

  • Perform tolerance stack-ups, fits and clearance assessments, and apply appropriate GD&T to engineering drawings.

  • Select and specify appropriate materials, fasteners, mechanical interfaces, surface finishes, and manufacturing requirements.

  • Design components and assemblies considering Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) and work with manufacturing teams and vendors to resolve fabrication and inspection issues.

  • Prepare and maintain design calculations, technical reports, engineering documentation, and technical presentations for design and program reviews.

  • Support manufacturing, inspection, assembly, integration, and testing of developed hardware and resolve engineering issues encountered during these activities.

  • Analyse design-related problems and test observations, identify root causes, and incorporate improvements into subsequent design iterations.

  • Maintain CAD models, drawings, BOMs, calculations, and design revisions with appropriate configuration and revision control.

  • Work collaboratively with system, analysis, manufacturing, electronics, QA/QC, and test engineers throughout the development cycle.


    The Design Engineer is expected to progressively take ownership of hardware through the engineering lifecycle:




  • Develop concepts, 3D CAD models, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings for aerospace components, systems, and test hardware.

  • Translate system and functional requirements into practical mechanical designs, considering performance, mass, packaging, interfaces, operating environment, manufacturability, and assembly.

  • Perform appropriate engineering/design calculations to size components, evaluate design margins, and substantiate design decisions.

  • Perform tolerance stack-ups, fits and clearance assessments, and apply appropriate GD&T to engineering drawings.

  • Design components and assemblies considering Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) and work with manufacturing teams and vendors to resolve fabrication and inspection issues.

  • Prepare and maintain design calculations, technical reports, engineering documentation, and technical presentations for design and program reviews.

  • Support manufacturing, inspection, assembly, integration, and testing of developed hardware and resolve engineering issues encountered during these activities.

  • Analyse design-related problems and test observations, identify root causes, and incorporate improvements into subsequent design iterations.

  • Maintain CAD models, drawings, BOMs, calculations, and design revisions with appropriate configuration and revision control.

  • Work collaboratively with system, analysis, manufacturing, electronics, QA/QC, and test engineers throughout the development cycle.

Must-Have Skills:

B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Production Engineering, or a related engineering discipline

  • Strong fundamentals in mechanical design, engineering mechanics, strength of materials, and machine design.

  • Strong proficiency in 3D CAD modelling, assembly design, and engineering drawings. INSPECITY primarily uses SolidWorks; experience with Creo, CATIA, or similar professional CAD platforms is also relevant.

  • Good understanding of GD&T, fits and tolerances, datum schemes, and tolerance stack-up.

  • Ability to perform engineering/design calculations to size components and substantiate design decisions.

  • Good understanding of materials, fasteners, mechanical interfaces, and standard mechanical components.

  • Practical understanding of manufacturing processes, particularly CNC machining, turning, milling, fabrication, and additive manufacturing, with an ability to design for manufacturability and assembly.

  • Ability to translate engineering requirements into manufacturing-ready designs and drawings.

  • Ability to troubleshoot design, fitment, manufacturing, and assembly issues and implement appropriate design improvements.

  • Ability to prepare clear technical reports, design documentation, and engineering presentations.

  • Ability to communicate and explain design rationale, assumptions, calculations, and engineering decisions during technical reviews.

Good-to-Have Skills:

Prior experience in the space, aerospace or automotive industry.

  • Experience taking hardware through design, manufacturing, assembly, and testing.

  • Familiarity with ANSYS Structural or other FEA tools, including an ability to understand and interpret structural-analysis results.

  • Exposure to the design of precision mechanical hardware, mechanisms, fluid-system components, pressure hardware, or similar engineering systems.

  • Experience working directly with machine shops, manufacturing vendors, and inspection teams.

What We Look For

We value engineers who combine strong fundamentals with practical hardware thinking.

A good Design Engineer at INSPECITY should be able to understand a requirement, develop a practical design, perform the necessary engineering calculations, create manufacturing-ready drawings, and work with manufacturing and test teams to see the hardware through to completion.

Experience in the space industry is valuable, but not mandatory. Strong mechanical design capability, engineering judgement, attention to detail, and the ability to learn quickly are more important.
