Overview
We’re partnering with an early-stage space technology company developing a new class of highly maneuverable spacecraft for demanding commercial and national-security missions. The team is building complex flight hardware at pace, and they’re looking for a Structures Design Engineer to take significant ownership of the vehicle’s structural and fluid hardware.
Responsibilities
- Own structural and mechanical hardware through design, analysis, manufacturing, testing and integration.
- Develop lightweight metallic structures, pressure-related hardware and supporting mechanical systems.
- Perform first-principles calculations and detailed structural analysis/FEA to support design decisions.
- Work closely with manufacturing teams, technicians and suppliers to turn designs into tested flight hardware.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in aerospace structures, mechanical design or a closely related discipline.
- Experience designing and testing complex aerospace hardware, ideally within launch vehicles, propulsion or high-performance flight systems.
- Strong CAD and FEA capability, with experience using tools such as ANSYS or equivalent.
- Engineering degree with the ability to work independently and take technical ownership of hardware.
Benefits
- End-to-end ownership
- Early technical influence
- Early Stage Equity
