Your work will bridge vehicle design, structural analysis, and integrated system layout to enable fast, informed architecture trade studies and development decisions. \nYour Role in Our Space Mission: \nDefine and evaluate vehicle-level structural loads, load paths, and critical sizing cases across ascent, recovery, landing, and ground operations. \nDevelop structural concepts and perform sizing activities using first-principles methods, reduced-order models, and targeted finite element analyses. \nTranslate reusable launcher architecture concepts into realistic, rapidly adaptable CAD layouts that support architecture trade studies and vehicle development. \nAssess the integration of primary structures with tanks, fluid systems, aerodynamic surfaces, landing systems, mechanisms, and other vehicle subsystems. \nCreate and maintain structural models of appropriate fidelity to evaluate feasibility, mass, stiffness, interfaces, and overall vehicle performance. \nIdentify structural drivers, design constraints, and cross-system dependencies to guide architecture decisions and system optimization. \nSupport multidisciplinary vehicle development by balancing structural performance, operability, manufacturability, and reuse requirements. \nCommunicate structural implications, trade-offs, and recommendations to engineering stakeholders across the program. \nQualification Checklist \n3-7 years of experience in aerospace, launch vehicles, aircraft structures, or other highly engineered structural products. \nExperience developing structural concepts and layouts from requirements through preliminary design. \nExperience contributing to vehicle-level architecture trades and multidisciplinary system development. \nStrong understanding of structural mechanics, load paths, structural sizing, and vehicle-level structural behavior. \nProficiency with FEM tools (e.g. Abaqus, Nastran, Ansys, HyperWorks) for both conceptual assessments and targeted detailed analyses. \nAbility to develop reduced-order models and engineering approximations from higher-fidelity analyses.\nStrong CAD skills (e.g. CATIA, Siemens NX or comparable) with the ability to rapidly create and iterate structurally credible vehicle layouts. \nSystems-thinking mindset with the ability to balance structural performance, integration, operability, and program objectives. \nStructured problem solver with sound engineering judgment and a pragmatic approach to trade-offs. \nFluent in English, both written and spoken. \nBonus Skills\nExperience with reusable launch vehicles, recovery systems, landing systems, or deployable mechanisms. \nFluent in German \nBenefits \nEmployee Participation Program: Share in our success through our virtual company share program\n30 days of vacation: Enjoy the days off to relax and recharge \nCompany pension plan: Secure your future with our company pension plan, featuring a 20% employer contribution after the probation period\nSubsidised lunch: Stay energised with delicious, subsidised lunches every day\nRental clothing with laundry service: Enjoy hassle-free workwear with our convenient rental clothing and laundry service \n Sport Clubs membership: Stay fit with our sponsored sports club memberships (EGYM Wellpass)\nIndividual learning allowance: Grow your skills with an individual learning budget granted after the probation period\nChildcare allowance: Receive a childcare allowance for your non-school-age children\nFlexible mobility budget: Travel your way with a choice between a fully financed Deutschlandticket, JobRad bicycle leasing, FINN JobAuto, or a fuel allowance\nAnd Much More!
