## About the role

We are seeking a mechanical engineer with deep experience in the structural analysis of spacecraft. In this role you will build finite element models and run analysis cases in FEMAP and NASTRAN, with an emphasis on static and quasi-static load cases and will define failure cases and calculate margins of safety for space vehicle structures. The ideal candidate will work across disciplines to support architecture concept evaluation, trade studies, static qualification testing, and material and failure review boards.

## What they're looking for

- Experience with composite space structures
- Able to identify critical loads to be recovered in the coupled loads analysis (CLA)
- Innovative and creative, with a willingness to challenge the status quo
- Ability to work independently on complex problems
- Demonstrated ability to work in a multidisciplinary team with other engineers
- Flexibility and adaptability in a fast-paced environment
