We are seeking a Structural Engineer to support the design, analysis, testing, and qualification of structures for our VLEO satellite missions.
Perform structural analysis of flight hardware including spacecraft structures, propulsion subsystems, and mechanical assemblies. Develop and validate finite element models (FEM) for spacecraft and high-performance aerospace structures.
~ Perform hand calculations for preliminary analysis in support of FEA.
~ Support structural sizing, stiffness optimisation, and load path analysis for launch and in-orbit environments.
~ Plan and execute vibration, shock, and structural qualification testing test campaigns end-to-end: write the test plan, instrument the hardware, interpret the data, correlate the model, and close out the qualification report.
~ Review engineering drawings and collaborate directly with designers to drive structural design decisions.
~ S. degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Structural ...
