About the role

Senior Smart Manufacturing Engineer designing and implementing mechanical and electromechanical systems for satellite production. Collaborating with engineering teams to optimize production processes in Espoo, Finland.

Responsibilities

Design, implement and own Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSE) and other mechanical / electromechanical systems used in satellite production and integration.
Develop production test jigs and verification systems (e.g. fixtures, subsystem assembly jigs, custom rigs) in close collaboration with electronics and software engineers.
Take designs from concept through detailed CAD, documentation, manufacturing support and commissioning on the production floor.
Define and improve standards, frameworks and documentation practices for mechanical and mechatronic designs within Smart Manufacturing Engineering.
Proactively identify current and future bottlenecks in production processes and propose data‑driven mitigation plans.
Mentor and support junior and mid‑level engineers, providing design reviews, feedback and guidance on best practices.
Collaborate closely with Production, AIT Engineering and other Engineering teams to ensure systems are robust, maintainable and aligned with operational needs.
Contribute to roadmaps and prioritisation for production systems, helping the team focus on the highest‑impact projects.

6–8+ years of experience in mechanical or electromechanical engineering, focused on production systems, test equipment, or similar.
Proven track record designing and delivering mechanical / support equipment such as MGSE, lifting systems, dollies or fixtures for large, high‑value hardware.
Hands‑on experience designing and implementing production test jigs or verification systems (e.g. fixtures for electronics testing, flying probe interfaces, custom test rigs).
Solid understanding of how mechanics, electronics and software/controls fit together and comfortable collaborating closely with electronics and software engineers.
Strong CAD skills and experience taking designs from concept through detailed design, manufacturing and on‑site commissioning.
Experience in at least one high‑reliability or complex production domain (e.g. space, aerospace, automotive, robotics, industrial automation).
Demonstrated seniority: leading projects, taking end‑to‑end ownership and mentoring junior engineers.
Willingness and ability to work onsite in Espoo in production and integration environments.
