Mechanical Assembly Integration and Testing Engineer

Role: Mechanical Assembly Integration and Testing (MAIT) Engineer Employment Type: Full Time Educational Qualification: B.E./B.Tech/M.Sc/M.E./M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field. Work Experience: Minimum 4-7 years of experience in Mechanical Assembly & integration of components/products within the aerospace, satellite manufacturing, automotive or defence industries. Responsibilities & Duties Oversee and execute satellite assembly, integration, and testing processes with a team of technicians and engineers, managing the production of Pixxel satellites. Draft detailed, stepbystep mechanical AIT procedures and assembly checklists for technician implementation based on Engineering Team designs and input. Verify and validate each step of the AIT procedures postimplementation by technicians on the shop floor, covering Structural Assembly, Thermal control implementation, and subsequent environmental testing. Lead the development of all Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSE), including comprehensive 3D CAD design, basic stress analysis, vendor identification and management, and inspection and qualification of all MGSE. Supervise all satellite environmental testing processes, such as Thermal tests, vibration tests, and motion simulations. Collaborate with the production management team to plan the daily satellite production schedule. Address and resolve any issues that emerge during satellite AIT. Document the progress of the satellite AIT process and record observations during inspection and validation of procedures after implementation, utilizing enterprise software or manual record entry. Ensure the proper handling, storage, and tracking of all satellite components on the shop floor following handover from the Inventory Manager. Desirable Skills & Certifications Excellent English communication skills essential; Hindi and Kannada proficiency a plus. Proficiency in 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks and NX. Handson experience operating power tools for basic reworks and prototype assembly development. Basic understanding of thermal control implementation on satellites (MLI, OSR, heaters, sensors, etc.). Experience reading and interpreting datasheets, technical reports, technical drawings, schematics, and assembly/test plans. Good experience with resource and production planning enterprise tools (e.g., SAP, ERP). High proficiency in documentation and planning tools (e.g., Google Workspace, MS Projects, Jira). Understanding of electrical and mechanical integration concepts and processes. Strong understanding of mechanical engineering and operation of environmental test equipment (thermal vacuum chambers, shaker tables, 3axis motion simulators). Experience and quick documentation of test campaigns and report results with knowledge of satellite environmental testing. Strong experience and proficiency in maintaining tools and test equipment. Knowledge of ESD phenomena and best practices for prevention, surface cleaning, and preparation processes. Certification from organizations such as ISRO related to Mechanical AIT of spacecraft and satellites is a bonus. Candidate Acumen A strong desire to work in an unstructured, highgrowth, fastpaced startup environment; ability to deal with challenges, devise innovative solutions, and build and guide a team toward success.
