Role Description
This is a full-time, on-site Mechanical Technician role based in the Greater Hyderabad Area.
A Mechanical Technician for Satellite Systems is responsible for the installation, assembly, testing, maintenance, and troubleshooting of mechanical systems used in satellite equipment, ground-support systems, and satellite strictly adhering to Space quality and safety standards. The role often involves working in clean-room environments, laboratories, integration facilities, and testing centres.
Key Role & responsibilities:
1. Mechanical Assembly and Integration
· Mechanical assembly of structural panels, brackets, harness clamps, MLI (multi-layer insulation), and mechanisms (deployables, hinges, HDRMs — hold-down and release mechanisms)
· Fastener installation per torque specs (using calibrated torque wrenches/drivers), including torque-striping and witness marks
· Installation of thermal hardware (heat pipes, radiators, doublers) and alignment of optical benches or payload mounts
· Integration of propulsion hardware — tanks, thrusters, tubing/fittings often requiring cleanliness-critical handling
2. Testing and Inspection
· Support environmental test campaigns including vibration, shock, thermal vacuum, and structural tests.
· Place accelerometers and set up monitoring equipment prior to structural and dynamic testing.
· Verify mechanical interfaces, alignments, and physical clearances between integrated subsystems.
· Inspect hardware post-test to check for wear, damage, or shifting components.
3. Quality and Safety Compliance
· Maintain full traceability by recording as-built configurations, torque logs, and assembly process.
· Work in cleanroom environments (such as ISO class standards) following proper gowning and logging rules.
· Flag non-conformances and write reports when parts or assembly steps fail to match specifications.
· Perform incoming inspections on structural parts and raw components for dimensional accuracy.
4. Preventive Maintenance
· Maintain test equipment and ground support equipment.
· Calibrate instruments according to procedures.
· Perform routine inspections to prevent failures.
5. Key Tools & Instruments hand on
· Torque Control Tools
· Handling & Lifting Equipment
· Metrology & Alignment Tools
· Cleanliness & Contamination Control Tools
· ESD & Environmental Monitoring
· Fastener & Mechanism-Specific Tools
Required Skills:
Mechanical AIT Operations
Satellite Mechanical integration
Subsystem Integration
Payload integration
MGSE operation
Environmental Test Support
Preparing hardware for vibration, thermal-vacuum (TVAC), and acoustic testing — mounting to test fixtures, installing/removing red-tag items (covers, plugs)
Post-test inspection support (torque checks, visual inspection for shift/damage)
Documentation Skills
Ability to:
Executing work per approved Assembly Procedures / Work Instructions
Buy-off/sign-off at mandatory inspection points (MIPs) — often requiring QA witness (this is where your QA background intersects directly)
Recording lot/serial numbers, torque values, and as-run deviations
Raising or supporting Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) when a build step deviates from spec
Software & Computer Skills
Useful skills include:
Microsoft Excel
Test data recording
Educational Qualifications:
Diploma/ITI mechanical/fitter with 2-3 years of hands-on experience handling End-to-end satellite electrical systems integration & testing.
