Structural Engineer

For our client, we are currently looking for a Structural Engineer.

• As a Structural Engineer, you are responsible for the structural integrity of the project you are working on. The items you are analysing range from small handheld experiments to large rack-sized experiments for the International Space Station and from small subsystems for various space applications to complete satellites and docking mechanisms.
• You work closely together with systems engineers to ensure that the product meets all structural requirements. When necessary, you translate the obtained results into dedicated recommendations to improve the mechanical design from a structural point of view. This is in close collaboration with the mechanical design team.
• Your core task is to verify structures against various launch and orbital loads via simple hand calculations/ spreadsheets and FEMAP Nastran. The performed analysis must be properly documented via structural analysis and trade-off reports. The structural engineer is responsible for the management of the created FEM models to ensure traceability of the various performed analyses and calculations.
• Further, you will take the lead in the preparation, execution, and reporting of structural tests. You correlate the test results with your analysis models and provide support in finding root causes when issues arise during testing.
• You have a good attitude towards report writing, and you are able to work in a structured manner, with a clear focus on getting issues resolved in a cooperative spirit within a given time.

• You have a Master's degree in a structural engineering related field (mechanics, mechatronics, aerospace)
• 5 years of working experience as a structural engineer with FEMAP Nastran or similar
• Thorough understanding of failure criteria and modes and their relation to various material allowables
• Good understanding of structural dynamics (Eigenmodes, sine vibration, random vibration)
• Good understanding of bolted joints
• Hands-on experience with structural testing (static, vibration, shock)
• Good knowledge of Microsoft Office, in particular Microsoft Word and Excel
• Fluency in English (speaking and writing) is an absolute must
• We are looking for someone who is proactive, creative, enthusiastic, result-oriented, and a team player
• Good communication skills, able to discuss directly with customers and find good technical solutions while maintaining control over schedule and budget constraints
• Passion for space. The space business is very demanding, with very specific analysis and test methods
