Job description

This is a unique opportunity to join Europe's fastest engineering startup, working at the forefront of next-generation aerospace technology. The team is developing highly sophisticated systems that demand exceptional engineering rigour, innovation, and pace.

You will influence the critical design of a cutting-edge product that pushes the limits of what's currently achievable in the industry.

We are seeking a Stress Engineer with a strong foundation in structural analysis to work across both the primary chassis and the full structural assembly. The role focuses on the overall product structure, and while experience with missiles, rockets, or satellites would be ideal, it is not essential.

In this position, you'll work closely with design and systems teams from concept through to detailed development, guiding structural decisions that directly influence performance, safety, and mission success. You will analyse the overall structure and guide the team through complex challenges.

Ideally, you will have strong stress analysis skills and experience with FEA tools such as ANSYS, NASTRAN, or Abaqus. You will be comfortable working in a fast-paced engineering environment and hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace or a related discipline. Experience in the space industry or with satellites would be a bonus.

If you're motivated by the opportunity to join a rapidly scaling team, solve challenging structural problems, and contribute to the next generation of bespoke technology, this role offers the chance to make a genuine impact in bleeding-edge technology.

This role requires:

• Background in Aerospace/Space or relevant discipline.
• Experience in Stress Analysis of whole product structures
