Founded in 2017, ThrustMe is a pioneering space technology company specializing in advanced propulsion systems for small satellites. We are global experts in satellite propulsion, pushing the boundaries of streamlined in-orbit mobility for the rapidly expanding satellite constellation industry. Our clients across the US, Europe, and Asia trust us to design and deliver high-performance, precision-engineered propulsion systems that push technological boundaries while meeting demanding timelines and budgets. We made history in 2019 and 2020 with the world’s first in-orbit demonstrations of iodine-fueled electric propulsion systems. Today, we are experiencing rapid growth, with over 300 systems ordered to date.

As an (Assembly, Integration, and Test) Engineer at ThrustMe, you will be responsible for:

• ensuring the assembly and functional integration of our prototypes,
• writing, testing and optimizing new and existing assembly procedures.

You will play a key role in preparing systems for rigorous testing and ensuring their readiness for qualification. This role is perfect for someone passionate about precision and hands-on engineering. By joining the Product Development Team, you will be at the interface between cutting edge research and mass production, turning novel concepts into flight-ready systems.

Main tasks and responsibilities:

• Write and test new and existing procedures to address main production and integration constrains (assembly time, quality, cost).
• Design assembly tools (CAO) and prepare drawings for manufacturing.
• Plan, execute, and document the assembly, integration, and testing of prototypes and qualification models.
• Support internal qualification and acceptance test campaigns.
• Analyse test results and troubleshoot issues to ensure system performance meets specifications.
• Document all assembly and testing activities.
• Collaborate with engineers and physicists in the industrialization of ground-breaking products.

Required skills and qualifications:

• Master’s degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering.
• 2+ years of experience in AIT for aerospace or related industries.
• Hands-on experience with complex assemblies and/or mechatronic systems.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to details.
• Proficient in CAD and technical drawings (Solidworks/Catia/Inventor/etc).
• Familiarity with specific aerospace testing standards (thermal vacuum, vibration, shock) is a plus.
• Communicates in English fluently. French is a plus (A2 level or more).
