Structural Analysis Engineer

Job Description

Mission of the role

Own the structural analysis backbone of our rocket — load definition, lay-up, FEA, margins — and drive every iteration to a verified result.

What you'll do

• Define load cases, boundary conditions, and acceptance criteria for primary and secondary structures.
• Build, run, and document analytical and FEA models of composite and metallic components.
• Evaluate structural margins and failure modes; sign off on analyses that release hardware to manufacturing and test.
• Develop and maintain design methods and verification logic for the department.
• Close the loop with test data and mentor others on sizing and verification rigor.

You bring

• MSc in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent experience).
• 3+ years of structural analysis on aerospace, motorsport, or pressure-vessel hardware (strong student team experience counts).
• Deep FEA expertise including composite modeling and failure criteria.
• Strong understanding of laminate theory, classical structural mechanics, and verification practice.
• Fluent in English.

Nice to have

• Experience with filament-wound pressure vessels or COPVs.
• Python scripting for FEA pre/post or analysis automation.
• Prior work in a launch-vehicle or rocket-engine structures team.
• Working proficiency in German.
