Zusammenfassung

Isar Aerospace in Munich seeks a Mid-Level Structures Analysis Engineer to drive the structural analysis of launch vehicle assemblies from concept to qualification. You will perform detailed stress analyses, use FEM tools, and work with design teams to validate sizing while addressing manufacturing deviations.

The role requires 3+ years in aerospace structures, strong hand-calculation knowledge, and experience with CAD.

Qualifikationen

• Degree in Engineering, Aerospace, Mechanical or (Computational) Mechanics or related field.
• At least 3 years of experience analysing aerospace structures.
• Strong knowledge in hand calculations and advanced FE modelling (Hypermesh, Optistruct, Nastran).
• 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 across departments.

Aufgaben

• Perform detailed stress analysis of aerospace structures using hand calculations and FEM, especially CFRP structures.
• Identify failure scenarios and collaborate with design engineers to optimize structures.
• Define load cases addressing thermal and quasi-static loads from random vibrations.
• Analyze and provide solutions to manufacturing non-conformities.
• Develop test plans and support physical testing to verify sizing assumptions and qualify hardware.

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

Mission Brief

You will be responsible for the structural analysis of entire assemblies belonging to our rocket’s primary and secondary structures. From trading design concepts to sizing and validating design iterations and examining the impact of manufacturing deviations, you will play an important role in guiding design decisions and pushing performance and reliability of our structures forward.

As a Mid-Level Structures Analysis Engineer, you will support the analysis, verification and development of launch vehicle structures throughout the entire lifecycle, from concept to qualification.

Your Role in Our Space Mission:

• Perform detailed stress analysis of aerospace structures and components using both classical hand calculations and advanced finite element methods (FEM), mostly of CFRP structures.
• Identify failure scenarios and collaborate with design engineers to review and optimize structural designs.
• Define applicable load cases, addressing the impact of thermal, quasi-static loads (arising from random vibrations) etc.
• Analise and provide possible solutions to manufacturing non-conformities.
• Develop test plans and support physical testing of components to verify sizing assumptions and qualify hardware.
• Prepare comprehensive stress analysis reports and documentation for internal/external use.
• Improve our standards and toolchain for structural verification.
• Be familiar with classical design standards and have experience in the use of CAD software
• Operate independently with moderate guidance.

Qualification Checklist

• Degree in the field of Engineering, Aerospace, Mechanical or (Computational) Mechanics, or any other 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).
• 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.

Bonus Skills

• Practical experience in the space sector (preferably in launch vehicle development program).
• Previous experience using CAD, preferably with Siemens NX.
• Good understanding of composite structures’ behaviour over a wide range of temperatures.
• Practical experience with Material Qualification and composite manufacturing techniques.
• Experience with winding & draping of carbon fibre (design or hands-on)
• Knowledge in quality standards, specifications and procedures around CFRP components
• Employee Participation Program: Share in our success through our virtual company share program
• 30 days of vacation: Enjoy the days off to relax and recharge
• Company pension plan: Secure your future with our company pension plan, featuring a 20% employer contribution after the probation period
• Subsidised lunch: Stay energised with delicious, subsidised lunches every day
• Public transport ticket: Commute with ease using a fully financed Deutschlandticket
• Rental clothing with laundry service: Enjoy hassle-free workwear with our convenient rental clothing and laundry service
• Sport Clubs membership: Stay fit with our sponsored sports club memberships (EGYM Wellpass)
• Individual learning allowance: Grow your skills with an individual learning budget granted after the probation period
• Childcare allowance: Receive a childcare allowance for your non-school-age children
