Graduate Mechanical Engineer

About Us

At Cosmo. Chute, we are building modular, reusable lunar robotics infrastructure for long-duration planetary operations. Our systems combine mobility, modular payload deployment, survivability through lunar nights, and repair ability to make sustained presence on the Moon economically viable. We’re a deeply technical, fast-moving team that believes in real ownership, real trust and in creating an environment where your best work matters.

If you want to work on hardware that will one day operate on the moon, this is the role.

Your Role

We're looking for a Graduate Mechanical Engineer to join our core engineering team. This is an early-career role for someone with strong engineering fundamentals, genuine curiosity, and the hunger to grow fast in a demanding technical environment. You will be expected to engage with real problems, ask questions, and take ownership of your work from day one.

You’ll work directly alongside senior engineers developing and testing what becomes the backbone of the lunar surface mission as it lives and works through extreme environments.

Your Responsibilities

Support the design and development of mechanical subsystems for lunar robotic systems (focusing on structures, mechanisms, and interfaces) Create and maintain CAD models and engineering drawings under the guidance of senior engineers Assist with FEA and structural analysis. Support fabrication, integration, and test activities Contribute to documentation including design reports, test procedures, and assembly instructions Work closely with engineers across disciplines and learn how a space system comes together at the system level Requirements Must have Strong fundamentals in mechanics, materials, and manufacturing Working knowledge of CAD tools (Solid.

Works, CATIA, or equivalent) Genuine enthusiasm for space and hands-on hardware Good to have Bachelor’s in Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or related field Experience with space-heritage hardware (qualification, environmental testing, materials selection for vacuum/radiation environments) Familiarity with lunar or planetary surface environments Exposure to mechanisms, deployables, or robotic systems Final year project or thesis in robotics, embedded systems, or a space-adjacent domain Experience working with Cube.

Sat, Rover, Formula Student, or research projects What we deeply value Curiosity and ownership Ability to learn quickly across disciplines Practical engineering judgment and first principles thinking Profound mutual respect among co-workers Strong grit towards troubleshooting and iterative development Cross-disciplinary thinking and collaboration Benefits Competitive compensation Performance based equity participation Meaningful long-term growth potential Complete honesty with only legally required abstractions
