Structures Analyst

This role is with a Germany-based rocketry startup developing high-performance solid propulsion technologies for space and defense. The company is scaling rapidly, having already launched suborbital and ballistic rockets regularly and crossed €10m in revenue in its first operating year. You will join a fast-paced team working on orbital rocket development.

As a Structures Analyst, you will be responsible for sizing and verifying rocket structures through load case definition, finite-element analysis, and margins of safety assessment. You will provide the analytical foundation that design, manufacturing, and test teams depend on to move quickly and confidently. Your work will span composite and metallic structures, turning each design iteration into hardware that can be built, tested, and trusted in flight.

You will define load cases and boundary conditions, build and run FEA models, evaluate failure modes, drive design iterations with cross-functional teams, correlate analysis results with test data, and contribute to the development of analysis methods and verification standards.
