Your space-enabled career begins here

Responsibilities :

• Own structural design and analysis of satellite bus systems including primary and secondary structures.
  

• Support the structure lifecycle from concept trade studies and preliminary sizing to detailed design, manufacturing support, integration, and qualification.
  

• Perform structural simulations including:
  

• Static and quasi-static load analysis
  

• Modal and frequency response analysis
  

• Random vibration analysis
  

• Shock analysis
  

• Buckling and stability analysis
  

• Fatigue and margin of safety calculations
  

• Conduct FEA simulations using Simcenter 3D (NX Nastran) to evaluate launch and operational load conditions.
  

• Support structural sizing and weight optimization of spacecraft structures and payload enclosures.
  

• Drive structural inputs for system architecture trades including stiffness, mass, load paths, mounting strategies, and packaging.
  

• Perform material and process selection based on stiffness-to-weight, strength, fatigue, thermal stability, and environmental durability.
  

• Apply DFM/DFA principles to ensure designs are manufacturability and assembly-friendly.
  

• Develop CAD models, manufacturing drawings, and assembly documentation.
  

• Conduct tolerance stack-up analysis and fitment validation for subsystem integration.
  

• Work closely with manufacturing teams for fabrication, surface treatments, and build planning.
  

• Correlate analysis models with structural test data and update FEA models accordingly.
  

• Collaborate with thermal, electrical, RF, AIT, and systems teams to ensure integrated spacecraft performance.
  

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field.
