microTECH Global Ltd
Engineering
We are seeking a Structural Engineer to support the design, analysis, testing, and qualification of structures for our VLEO satellite missions.
Key Responsibilities
:
Perform structural analysis of flight hardware including spacecraft structures, propulsion subsystems, and mechanical assemblies. This includes static, modal, random vibration, sine, shock, and quasi:static load cases.
:
Develop and validate finite element models (FEM) for spacecraft and high:performance aerospace structures.
:
Perform hand calculations for preliminary analysis in support of FEA.
:
Support structural sizing, stiffness optimisation, and load path analysis for launch and in:orbit environments.
:
Plan and execute vibration, shock, and structural qualification testing test campaigns end:to:end: write the test plan, instrument the hardware, interpret the data, correlate the model, and close out the qualification report.
:
Instrument hardware using accelerometers and strain gauges, and correlate test results back to analytical models.
:
Review engineering drawings and collaborate directly with designers to drive structural design decisions.
:
Support qualification activities against relevant aerospace and space standards including GEVS, ECSS, and NASA requirements.
:
Contribute to structural verification activities across development, integration, and test phases.
Fundamental Requirements
:
Education: B.S. or M.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related field.
:
3+ years of structural analysis experience on flight hardware, including spacecraft, launch vehicles, missiles, or high:performance structures.
:
Experience with structural analysis of spacecraft structures and subsystems, including electronic boxes, propulsion systems, hydraulics, or solar panels.
:
Experience with design for manufacturing (DFM).
:
Hands:on experience with FEM and ability to justify modelling assumptions and approaches.
:
Experience with Altair OptiStruct is a strong plus; proficiency with industry:standard solvers such as NASTRAN, ANSYS, or Abaqus is required.
:
Familiarity with launch environments including random vibration PSDs, SRS shock spectra, and quasi:static load factors.
