In your capacity as the Senior Nyx Docking Mechanism Engineer, your role will continuously evolve, but initially your day to day duties will include:

  • Ensure the integration and delivery On Time, On Quality and on Cost of the COTS mechanism for the first Nyx Earth iteration, acting as main Point of Contact with the supplier.

  • Develop the docking mechanism system requirements and specifications based upon applicable Nyx spacecraft requirements and appropriate International Space Station Docking requirements and interface control documents.

  • Generate the docking mechanism technology maturation and development plan, including the need for resources both engineering and hardware. 

  • Design and develop docking mechanism and associated hardware that enables Nyx to rendezvous and dock with the International Space Station and Commercial Low Earth Orbit (LEO) destinations, aiming at a simple and lightweight design which takes full advantage of Nyx's GNC capabilities.

  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including design, mechanical, propulsion, avionics and software engineers as well as mission planners to integrate the docking mechanism into the overall Nyx design.

  • Drive design reviews, technical meetings, and problem-solving sessions to address engineering challenges and ensure design integrity of the docking mechanism.

  • Drive the verification, validation and qualification activities to ensure the docking system meets all requirements and demonstrates robust docking performance.

  • Collaborate with the Supply Chain personnel and Assembly, Integration and Test personnel to procure, assemble and test the Nyx docking system and integrate the system into the Nyx spacecraft.

  • Stay current with industry trends, interface standards and advancements in docking technologies relevant to spacecraft docking operations.
