Structures Analysis Engineer, Launch Vehicle Structure (m/f/d)

Kurz zusammengefasst

The Structures Analysis Engineer, Launch Vehicle Structure role at Isar Aerospace involves working on the structural analysis of rocket assemblies, both primary and secondary. The company is focused on building a modern space business to enable faster, better, and cheaper access to space, aiming to democratize space and use it for the betterment of life on Earth. The main day-to-day responsibilities include performing detailed stress analysis using both classical hand calculations and advanced finite element methods (FEM), primarily on CFRP structures. The engineer will identify failure scenarios, collaborate with design engineers to optimize structural designs, and define applicable load cases. Additionally, the role involves analyzing manufacturing non-conformities, developing test plans, and supporting physical testing of components. The engineer will also prepare comprehensive stress analysis reports and documentation, and improve the standards and toolchain for structural verification. To qualify for this role, candidates must have a degree in Engineering, Aerospace, Mechanical, or (Computational) Mechanics, or a related field. At least three years of experience in analyzing aerospace structures is required, along with good knowledge in classical hand-calculations and advanced FE Modelling of aerospace structures using tools like Hypermesh, Optistruct, and Nastran. Fluency in English is also a must-have requirement. Nice-to-have skills include practical experience in the space sector, preferably in launch vehicle development programs. Previous experience using CAD, preferably with Siemens NX, and a good understanding of composite structures' behavior over a wide range of temperatures are also beneficial. Practical experience with Material Qualification and composite manufacturing techniques, as well as knowledge in quality standards, specifications, and procedures around CFRP components, are additional pluses. German language skills are also noted as a bonus. The location and team environment are not explicitly detailed, but the company emphasizes a collaborative and innovative culture. The role offers moderate guidance, allowing for independent operation. The company provides various benefits, including an Employee Participation Program, 30 days of vacation, a company pension plan, subsidized lunch, a public transport ticket, rental clothing with laundry service, sports club membership, an individual learning allowance, and a childcare allowance. What the role asks for: - Degree in Engineering, Aerospace, Mechanical, or (Computational) Mechanics, or a related field. - At least 3 years of experience in analysing aerospace structures. - Good knowledge in classical hand-calculations and advanced FE Modelling of aerospace structures (Hypermesh, Optistruct, Nastran etc). - Fluent English. - Self-motivated, collaborative, and capable of working independently with moderate guidance. - Good engineering intuition with regards to load paths and failure mechanisms. - Strong teamwork skills to contribute to team goals and support large projects, including interaction with other departments. - Nice-to-have: Practical experience in the space sector (preferably in launch vehicle development program). - Nice-to-have: Previous experience using CAD, preferably with Siemens NX.
