Structural Engineer



Structural Engineer



Position Summary


INSPECITY is looking for a Structural Engineer to support the design, analysis, and qualification of satellites, spacecraft subsystems, and associated mechanical hardware.

  • The engineer will work closely with Design, Systems, Testing, and Product Engineering teams throughout the hardware development lifecycle. 

  • The role involves reviewing mechanical designs, performing structural analysis, recommending design improvements, and supporting structural testing and qualification.

  • We are looking for someone with strong fundamentals in structural mechanics, structural dynamics, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) who can translate engineering analysis into practical design decisions.


Responsibilities



  • Perform structural analysis of satellites, spacecraft subsystems, and mechanical components. 

  • Review CAD models and mechanical designs, identify structural concerns, and provide recommendations to the design team. 

  • Develop and evaluate finite element models for components, assemblies, and spacecraft systems. 

  • Perform relevant static, modal, vibration, buckling, and other structural analyses based on project requirements. 

  • Use analytical calculations and engineering judgement to verify analysis results and support design decisions. 

  • Support structural and vibration testing, including test planning, predictions, result assessment, and test–analysis correlation. 

  • Prepare analysis reports and technical documentation, and communicate findings and recommendations during engineering reviews.

Must-Have Skills:

M.E./M.Tech/MS in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Applied Mechanics, Computational Mechanics, or a closely related discipline. PhD candidates and PhD graduates with relevant specialization are encouraged to apply.

  • Strong fundamentals in structural mechanics, strength of materials, and structural dynamics. 

  • Good understanding of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and its underlying assumptions and limitations. 

  • Hands-on experience with ANSYS Mechanical/Workbench or equivalent structural-analysis software. 

  • Good understanding of FE modelling and meshing practices. 

  • Ability to independently interpret analysis results and assess their physical reasonableness. 

  • Ability to perform analytical/hand calculations to support and verify numerical analysis. 

  • Ability to translate analysis results into practical design recommendations. 

  • Strong problem-solving and engineering judgement. 

  • Good technical communication and documentation skills.

Good-to-Have Skills:

Experience in one or more of the following would be advantageous but is not mandatory:

  • Satellites, spacecraft, launch vehicles, aerospace, or other lightweight/high-performance structures. 

  • Random vibration, sine vibration, shock, buckling, or nonlinear analysis. 

  • Meshing/pre-processing tools such as HyperMesh/HyperWorks, ANSA, or equivalent. 

  • Post-processing/visualization tools such as HyperView or equivalent. 

  • Structural, vibration, or modal testing and test–analysis correlation. 

  • Composite, sandwich, or honeycomb structures. 

  • Relevant spacecraft structural and environmental standards. 

  • Python, MATLAB, or similar tools for engineering calculations and data processing. 

Prior space-industry experience is advantageous but not mandatory.

What We Look For

We are looking for someone with strong engineering fundamentals, sound physical intuition, and a willingness to learn who can critically evaluate a design, perform appropriate structural analysis, and provide practical recommendations to the engineering team.

Candidates from industry, academia, and research backgrounds are welcome to apply. Prior space experience is not essential; strong fundamentals, engineering judgement, willingness to learn, and an interest in working on real flight hardware are more important.
