About the Role

We are looking for a part-time Design Engineer to support the mechanical and structural design of our re-entry capsule and related subsystems. This role focuses on computer-aided design modelling, producing engineering drawings, and carrying out materials selection, with opportunities to contribute to design validation and simulations (FEA/CFD) where relevant. You will work closely as part of the mechanical team to translate concepts into robust, manufacturable designs that support the development of our spacecraft’s initial prototype.

Key Responsibilities

As part of a small and rapidly evolving team, you will:

• Develop 3D CAD models of spacecraft structures and subsystems
• Produce clear engineering drawings for manufacturing and documentation
• Support materials selection considering strength, thermal behaviour, mass and ease of manufacturing
• Design and develop the mechanical architecture of internal subsystems (mounts, brackets, fasteners, interfaces)
• Consider thermal and structural constraints within designs (expansion, insulation, heat paths, structural integrity)
• Review and iterate designs based on technical feedback and evolving system requirements
• Maintain organised design files and version control for collaborative work
• Adapt quickly to evolving requirements in a startup environment

Skills & Qualifications

• Preferred applicants will have / be studying towards a BEng, MSc or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or related fields
• Proficiency in CAD software (particularly SolidWorks or similar)
• Ability to produce clear engineering drawings with geometric tolerances and annotations
• Understanding of materials selection and mechanical design principles
• Awareness of manufacturing methods (machining, 3D printing, etc.)
• Good technical communication and documentation skills

Desirable / Bonus

• Experience with FEA or CFD tools (ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL, etc.)
• Familiarity with industrial engineering drawing standards (e.g. BS 8888 or similar)
• Experience designing for constrained environments (spacecraft, robotics, electronics enclosures, etc.)

Additional Notes

This is a startup-stage role suited for those passionate about space technology and hands-on engineering design. The position offers a unique opportunity to contribute directly to the design of a re-entry spacecraft system. We are looking for someone who is proactive, detail-oriented and comfortable working in a multidisciplinary environment where your contribution directly shapes the mission. While the role is voluntary, high-performing members may be considered for future equity or paid opportunities as the project scales. Please note that Logispace does not provide visa sponsorship. Applicants must have existing eligibility to work or study in the United Kingdom.

About the Role

We are looking for a part-time Biotech Payload Specialist to support the biological and pharmaceutical aspects of our microgravity payload design. This role bridges biotechnology and space systems engineering, focusing on adapting experiments such as protein crystallisation, tissue engineering, organ-on-chip and lab-on-a-chip systems for integration within our pressurised capsule environment. You will work closely with the design and systems teams to ensure our payload bay meets the environmental, biochemical and operational requirements of life science and biomanufacturing customers.

Key Responsibilities

As part of a small and rapidly evolving team, you will:

• Define environmental control and containment strategies and support the design and review of interfaces for biotech and pharmaceutical payloads
• Translate biological experiment needs into technical payload requirements (temperature, sterility, pressure and vibration)
• Provide insight into biological materials handling, safety and mission-specific requirements
• Contribute to the development and testing of miniaturised laboratory systems such as organ-on-chip or 3D bioprinting modules
• Liaise with potential research and industry partners to align payload features with customer needs
• Adapt quickly to changing requirements in a start-up environment

Skills & Qualifications

• Preferred applicants will have/be studying towards a MSc or PhD in Biotechnology, Biomedical Engineering, Biochemistry, Life Sciences, Pharmacy or related disciplines
• Strong understanding of biological systems, pharmaceutical development or microgravity research preferred
• Experience with bioreactors, microfluidics or lab-on-a-chip technologies is desirable
• Familiarity with cell culture, sterile technique, or bioinstrumentation is advantageous
• Excellent communication skills to collaborate effectively across biology and aerospace teams
• Location: preference for candidates based in Leicester or the Midlands with ability to commute
