We’re making rockets in a way that hasn’t been done before disrupting a traditional industry. If you are up for the challenge, want to work on cutting-edge projects and be part of a team changing the world for better, come, join us and launch your career!

Responsibilities

The main purpose would be to support the structure development with an interdisciplinary analysis of the loads and excitation’s of the launch vehicle in all phases from manufacturing through testing, assembly and launch to decommissioning.

More specifically, you will:

• Predict and analyze load cases on a 6-DOF global FEM model:
• Predict loads and excitation’s in all life phases arising from given flight profiles, handling and launch procedures
• Identify structural load paths and internal load distributions
• Create design requirements and stress reports for structure development
• Downselect critical load cases for given components and interfaces
• Define envelopes for mechanical and thermal environments
• Create and maintain a database for determined load cases and envelopes
• Implement automated load case determination tools in the 6-DOF flight simulation in close cooperation with the GNC department

Profile

Must have:

• MSc in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or similar
• Experience with FEM analysis in ANSYS, Abaqus or similar
• Experience with Matlab/Simulink or Python scripting
• Structured and well-organized way of working
