Join Our Mission to the Moon

Join ispace EUROPE – Pioneering Lunar Exploration from Luxembourg

With locations in Japan, Luxembourg, and the US, ispace is a global leader in lunar exploration. Our European branch, based in Luxembourg, is uniquely positioned at the heart of rover design, development, and operations.

We’re building the foundations of a sustainable lunar economy — and expanding humanity’s reach beyond Earth.

At ispace EU, engineers, business experts, and creatives work side by side to turn bold ideas into reality, driven by our mission: “Expand our Planet, Expand our Future.”

TITLE: Mechanical Engineer

LOCATION: Luxembourg

ABOUT THE ROLE

ispace EUROPE is seeking an experienced and highly motivated Mechanical Engineer to join our team. The candidate must have extensive hands-on experience in mechanical design and manufacturing of spacecraft structures and components.

The Mechanical Engineer will own the mechanical development of ispace Europe’s next-generation lunar rover, taking responsibility for the mechanical design from concept to flight. The position requires a strong understanding of the complete mechanical domain, a cross-functional mindset, and the ambition to deliver flight-ready space structures and mechanisms capable of withstanding the extreme environments of launch, transit and lunar operations.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Lead the mechanical design of assigned spacecraft hardware, including lunar rovers, lander interfaces and Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSE).
  • Design structural components, assemblies and mechanisms for lunar rover systems.
  • Preparation of 3D models and engineering drawings for manufacturing.
  • Produce build-to-print technical documentation.
  • Create, review and complete component design specifications and conduct design reviews.
  • Develop sound conceptual designs, including trade studies involving material and component selection, with early consideration of manufacturing processes and design validation.
  • Perform rapid prototyping for early hardware testing and design validation.
  • Mature conceptual designs into detailed designs, ensuring structural and operational performance.
  • Maintain proactive coordination with cross-functional teams to achieve project goals.
  • Proactively identify risks and anticipate technical issues, and define and manage mitigation plans.
  • Coordinate with suppliers, resolve manufacturing issues, support incoming inspections, and ensure the manufactured hardware conforms to the technical specifications.
  • Travel occasionally to other ispace offices and supplier locations
  • Support AIT activities through the mechanical design of MGSE with a strong understanding of structure assemblies and integration requirements.

KEY REQUIREMENTS

  • BS and/or MS in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent.
  • 5 to 10+ years of proven professional experience in mechanical design for aerospace, aviation or spaceflight applications.
  • Extensive hands-on experience with CAD software and engineering drawing production.
  • Advanced knowledge and proven experience in Geometric Dimension and Tolerance (GD&T) and tolerance stack-up analysis, including RSS methods.
  • Strong understanding of mechanical structures, assemblies, and mechanisms.
  • Solid knowledge of mechanical design, material selection, and fabrication processes and coatings for spaceflight hardware.
  • Understanding of the design-analysis cycle and ability to work effectively with cross-functional engineering teams.
  • Ability to independently drive mechanical design activities and take responsibility for assigned hardware and deliverables.
  • Proactive mindset, strong responsibility and ability to identify technical issues, challenge assumptions and actively driving problems to resolution.
  • Team player with excellent interpersonal, organizational, and communication skills
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced and changing environment, with the motivation and willingness to continuously learn and develop.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Proficiency in Solidworks, or equivalent CAD software.
  • Experience with industrial development projects in the space industry
  • Demonstrated experience in mechanical design of metallic and composite structures
  • Good understanding of design for manufacturing principles and manufacturing processes
  • Experience managing product BOM (Bill of Materials)
  • Understanding of structure and thermal implications on the mechanical design
  • Experience taking hardware through a complete project lifecycle, from concept to flight.
  • Practical knowledge of relevant ECSS standards

Why Join ispace EUROPE?

At ispace EU, we’re not just building lunar rovers — we’re shaping the future of space exploration from our base in Luxembourg. As part of a global team spanning Japan, the US, and Europe, we’re on a mission to create a sustainable lunar economy and expand humanity’s reach beyond Earth.

Join a diverse, fast-moving team where engineers, creatives, and business minds work side by side to turn bold ideas into reality. If you're ready to make history — and have fun doing it — we’d love to hear from you.
