Digital Mock-Up & Mechanical Engineer

CDI
Toulouse
Start date :  
September 1, 2026

As a DMU & Industrial Engineer, you will be the backbone of our engineering execution chain, from digital mock-up management and configuration control to detailed part design, drawings and hands-on industrial support. This is a polyvalent, roll-up-your-sleeves role for someone who thrives on variety: one day you maybe structuring the DMU and managing configuration baselines, the next you’ll be designing a bracket or fixture, producing manufacturing drawings, or working alongside technicians on the shop floor to solve an integration problem. You will join the team at a critical stage: building a full-scale demonstrator with flight testing. You will work closely with the CTO and the entire engineering team.

Key responsibilities:

Digital Mock-Up (DMU) & Configuration Management

  • Own and maintain the product DMU (Fusion 360): structure the assembly tree, manage parts and sub-assemblies, ensure spatial integration and clash-free design across all disciplines.
  • Enforce configuration management processes: naming conventions, versioning, change management (Engineering Change Requests / Orders), baseline control and traceabilitythroughout the product lifecycle.
  • Act as the central point of reference for the digital product definition, ensuring consistency between design, manufacturing and testing configurations.

Design & Drafting

  • Perform detailed mechanical design of components, assemblies, fixtures, tooling and test equipment, from concept sketches through to fully dimensioned 3D models and 2D manufacturing drawings.
  • Serve as an expert forcolleagues designing proprietary components, guiding them on design choices, manufacturability.
  • Apply GDT (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing) and aerospace drawing standards to produce clear, unambiguous technical documentation.
  • Collaborate withstress, thermal and fluid engineers to translate analytical requirements intomanufacturable part designs.

Industrial Engineering& Hands-On Support

  • Support manufacturing and assembly activities on the shop floor: advise on fabrication methods, resolve fit-up issues, validate first articles and accompany parts from drawing release to installation.
  • Contribute to the definition of assembly sequences, tooling requirements and industrialization plans for prototypes and products.
  • Interface with suppliers and sub-contractors on technical specifications, manufacturing feasibility and quality requirements.
  • Participate in test bench assembly, sub-system integration and aircraft integration activities asneeded.

 

Required profile:

  • Graduate of a top engineering school or holder of a Master’s degree in energy engineering, propulsion, or mechanicalengineering.
  • 3 to 8 years of experience in a demanding industrial environment: aerospace, space, energy, motorsport ordefense, combining CAD/DMU work, detailed design and shop-floor involvement.

Required skills and qualities:

  • Strong proficiency in CAD tools for 3D modeling, assembly management and drawing production.
  • Solid understanding of configuration management principles and tools (change management, baselines, part numbering, BOM management).
  • Mastery of GD&T, drawing standards and manufacturing tolerancing.
  • Hands-on mindset: comfortable working on the shop floor, using hand tools, and solving practical integration and fabrication problems.
  • Proven versatility: ability to switch between digital design office work and industrial/workshop activities with equal effectiveness.
  • Rigor, analytical mindset and strong organizational skills.
  • Knowledge of / sensitivity to aerospace requirements and standards.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills in both French and English.
