Qualification & Experience:

• Ability to model complex forms in 2D and 3D CAD software (Solid Works, CATIA);
• Experience in the use of FEA tools (NASTRAN, Hyperworks, ANSYS);
• Knowledge of micro-adjustment mechanisms, dimensioning gears, bearings, fasteners, welds, electrical motors, and structural components (preferential);
• Experience in the development and design of products through the full life cycle from requirements definition to manufacturing, acceptance, and delivery to the customer;
• Experience in optomechanical design and space systems is highly valued;
• Comfortable in working and presenting results in English (mandatory)

Soft Skills:

• Ability to provide ideas, creativity and to bring rigorous analytical methods to bear design problems;
• Demonstrate ability and initiative to get to the heart of a problem and take it through to completion;
• Ability to learn autonomously and quickly.

We offer one of the best opportunities in Portugal to work on a project for the development of optomechanical equipment for the space sector, and integrate a highly multidisciplinary team.

The salary will be proportional to the demonstrated knowledge and work in the requested field.
