Mechanical Engineer (Permanent & Internship)Role
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Purpose
Vrisva is a space company dedicated to building Single-Stage-To-Orbit (SSTO) vehicles and the required components at scale. We focus on cutting-edge technology and innovation in space transportation. As a Mechanical Engineer, you will design, build, and validate high-performance mechanical systems—especially motion platforms, robotics, and flight-relevant hardware—that contribute to the development and industrialization of SSTO systems.
Key Responsibilities
Mechanical Design & Development
Design mechanisms, frames, enclosures, and precision assemblies for 6DOF platforms and robotic or flight-adjacent subsystems.
Implement robust hardware architectures that meet performance, reliability, and safety requirements (GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, DFM/DFA, material selection).
Fabrication & Machining
Produce prototypes and production parts using CNC machining, turning, sheet metal, and 3D printing .
Generate manufacturing drawings and CAM files; coordinate with suppliers to achieve cost, quality, and lead-time targets.
Testing & Debugging
Plan and execute verification/validation tests (fit, function, endurance, vibration).
Instrument systems, collect data, analyze results, and iterate to close performance gaps.
Integration & Collaboration
Integrate mechanical subsystems with electronics and control software for end-to-end delivery.
Collaborate across mechanical, mechatronics, and manufacturing teams to ensure seamless system integration.
Specialized Knowledge (Preferred)
Design and optimization of compressor systems (thermodynamics, flow paths, sealing, lubrication, NVH).
Practical exposure to injection molding, CNC strategies, and additive manufacturing for prototype and low-volume production.
Design and development of high precision motion simulation systems.
Project Management
Own work packages from concept to production release: requirements → concepts → design reviews → build → test → release.
Track schedule, risks, cost, and BOM; maintain documentation and version control.
Qualifications
Education: B.E./B. Tech. in Mechanical Engineering (or related).
Technical Tools: SolidWorks or CATIA (primary), AutoCAD (drawings), MATLAB (analysis).
Core Knowledge: Mechanics of materials, machine design, manufacturing processes, GD&T/tolerances, fastening, tribology, and thermal considerations.
Experience: Hands-on prototyping, machining, and assembly;, CNC, and 3D printing. Prior work on compressor systems and simulation platforms is highly desirable.
Soft Skills: Clear communication, structured problem solving, ownership, and collaboration.
Mindset: Bias for action, willingness to work hard for growth, and attention to detail.
