Smart Manufacturing Engineer, Mechanical

The role

You will design and own mechanical and electromechanical systems including Mechanical Ground Support Equipment and production test jigs. You will work in a multi-disciplinary team to set standards and remove production bottlenecks for satellite manufacturing.

What you will do

• Design, implement and own Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSE) and other mechanical / electromechanical systems.
• Develop production test jigs and verification systems.
• Take designs from concept through detailed CAD, documentation, manufacturing support and commissioning.
• Define and improve standards, frameworks and documentation practices.
• Identify production bottlenecks and propose data-driven mitigation plans.
• Collaborate with Production, AIT Engineering and other Engineering teams.
• Contribute to roadmaps and prioritization for production systems.

Required qualifications

• 6–8+ years of experience in mechanical or electromechanical engineering, focused on production systems, test equipment, or similar.
• Proven track record designing and delivering mechanical / support equipment such as MGSE, lifting systems, dollies or fixtures for large, high-value hardware.
• Hands-on experience designing and implementing production test jigs or verification systems.
• Solid understanding of how mechanics, electronics and software/controls fit together.
• Strong CAD skills and experience taking designs from concept through detailed design, manufacturing and on-site commissioning.
• Experience in at least one high-reliability or complex production domain (e.g. space, aerospace, automotive, robotics, industrial automation).
• Demonstrated seniority: leading projects, taking end-to-end ownership and mentoring junior engineers.
• Willingness and ability to work onsite in Espoo in production and integration environments.

Nice to have

• Experience with satellite or spacecraft integration and MGSE.
• Experience working across multiple production sites or in a global manufacturing context.
• Knowledge of lean manufacturing and/or Six Sigma tools and practices.
• Experience introducing or improving design frameworks, templates and documentation standards in an engineering organization.

Benefits

• Continuous professional development
• Training opportunities

Before you apply

• Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO)
