Job Description
Employment Type: Full-Time | On-site
br>About Us
At Proforce Galaxies Limited, we are leading Africa’s frontier in space and satellite technology, providing cutting-edge solutions from orbit to ground. Our work spans the development of advanced satellite platforms, high-performance ground stations, and robust downstream services that turn space-based insights into actionable intelligence for industries like agriculture, environmental monitoring, and national infrastructure. < r>We’re looking for a passionate and experienced Mechanical Engineer to join our interdisciplinary engineering team. In this role, you'll be instrumental in designing and validating mechanical systems and structures for satellites, antenna systems, support infrastructure, and IoT hardware—ensuring everything we build can withstand the harshest of environments.
Job Overview
As a Mechanical Design Engineer at Proforce Galaxies, you will design, analyze, and test mechanical subsystems across the entire space-tech lifecycle—from satellite payload structures to terrestrial communication systems. Your work will contribute to ensuring mechanical integrity, thermal control, manufacturability, and long-term reliability in both space and ground environments. < r>You’ll collaborate closely with aerospace, electrical, and embedded systems engineers to deliver high-performance systems across upstream (spacecraft), midstream (ground stations), and downstream (user infrastructure and services) domains. < r>
Key Responsibilities
• Mechanical Design for Spacecraft: < r>Design and model satellite structures including frames, thermal management systems, and payload mounts using CAD tools such as SolidWorks, CATIA, or Siemens NX.
• round Station Equipment Design: < r>Develop robust mechanical assemblies for ground infrastructure including antenna mounts, housing units, environmental enclosures, and cable management systems.
• T ermal & Structural Analysis: < r>Perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for stress, thermal, and vibration simulations using tools such as ANSYS, NASTRAN, or COMSOL, ensuring all designs meet aerospace standards.
• T sting & Qualification: < r>Plan and support mechanical qualification campaigns (thermal vacuum, shock, vibration, drop tests) for both space and ground systems in accordance with mission-specific requirements.
• M nufacturing Support: < r>Collaborate with production teams to ensure parts are manufacturable, cost-effective, and optimized for integration, including design-for-assembly and tolerance considerations.
• D ployment Mechanisms: < r>Design dynamic mechanisms such as solar panel deployers, antenna deployment systems, and gimbal tracking structures for satellites and mobile ground stations.
• H rdware Reliability for Downstream Systems: < r>Support downstream IoT and satellite-connected devices by designing rugged, compact enclosures and support fixtures.
• T oubleshooting & Post-Launch Support: < r>Investigate and resolve mechanical failures during prototyping, environmental testing, launch preparation, and on-orbit operations.
• D cumentation & Reporting: < r>Create detailed engineering drawings, technical analysis reports, material specifications, and test documentation in compliance with internal and regulatory standards.
• M ssion Planning & Design Reviews: < r>Participate in interdisciplinary reviews, risk assessments, and planning meetings to ensure mechanical systems align with mission timelines and technical goals.
Required Qualifications
• B chelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in mechanical design, preferably in aerospace, automotive, robotics, or industrial sectors.
• Profici ncy with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, Autodesk Inventor). < r>• S rong skills in FEA analysis tools (e.g., ANSYS, NASTRAN, Abaqus). < r>• E perience with environmental testing protocols and thermal control systems. < r>• K owledge of material properties and selection for aerospace applications (metals, composites, thermal insulators). < r>• F miliarity with manufacturing processes including CNC machining, 3D printing, sheet metal fabrication, and composite layups. < r>• E cellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills. < r>• A ility to work effectively in cross-functional teams and dynamic R&D environments. < r>
Desirable Skills
• E perience with satellite bus design or CubeSat structures. < r>• U derstanding of thermal coatings, radiators, and heat pipe systems. < r>• F miliarity with mission simulation tools or spacecraft lifecycle development. < r>• E posure to on-orbit mechanical systems and post-launch diagnostics. < r>
Why Join Proforce Galaxies Limited?
• B part of Africa’s space-tech revolution, developing real-world solutions using satellite technology.
• C llaborate in a vibrant, multidisciplinary environment that values innovation and exploration. < r>• A cess professional development opportunities and career growth in aerospace and mechanical systems. < r>• C mpetitive compensation, project bonuses, and flexible work environment.
