Our Crew

The engineering team in Linköping consists of around 90 people, including engineering managers, design, analysis, systems, and verification engineers. We work in an international environment, closely collaborating with our customers as well as with other Beyond Gravity sites across Europe and the USA.

This Design Team is responsible for executing mechanical design activities for space structures, mechanisms, and components. Our work includes CAD modeling, the creation of detailed drawings, and the development of design documentation. We support change management processes and actively participate in design reviews, working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure design feasibility, manufacturability, and full compliance with technical requirements.

Your Mission

• Independently design parts and assemblies, considering requirements, tolerances, manufacturability, cost, mass, and integration.
• Develop complex CAD models and perform design tasks within the assigned domain.
• Perform harness designs (Payload Adapter System and Dispenser Systems) and Electrical ground support activities.
• Lead change management, ensure traceability, and coordinate part lifecycle activities with PLM/ERP.
• Prepare design justifications and support validation activities, including requirement traceability and design reviews.
• Participate in NRBs, propose technical solutions, support corrective actions, and perform basic root cause analysis with guidance.
• Support FAI activities and operator training when required; provide on-site production support to prevent non-conformances.
• Prepare project-specific technical documentation and contribute to internal and customer deliverables.
• Maintain traceability between engineering inputs, outputs, and requirements; clearly communicate project status in meetings.
• Gather and interpret basic data; contribute ideas during brainstorming and innovation sessions.
• Support bidding and proposal activities; provide inputs to ECPs (Engineering Change Proposal) and CCNs (Contract Change Notice).
• Coach interns, students, and junior engineers.
• Maintain strong knowledge of the product portfolio and regularly interact with flight and test hardware.

Your Story

Must have:

• B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Aerospace, Mechanical or other engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of mechanical design experience in aerospace or equivalent industry.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD modelling and 2D drawings (preferably CATIA V5).
• Ability to work independently on moderately complex design tasks.
• Understanding of mechanical design principles, tolerancing standards and configuration control.
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes and their constraints.

Nice to have:

• Experience with harness routing in 3D CAD environments.
• Experience in the space industry, with structures, mechanisms or components.
• Experience with composite and metallic structures.
• Familiarity with Teamcenter or similar PLM systems.
