Structural Design & Analysis Engineer

We are currently looking for an experienced FEA Engineer on behalf of our client, to support the development and validation of next-generation high-performance vehicle systems. This role sits at the intersection of simulation, design and manufacturing, where precision engineering meets cutting-edge innovation.
 
The FEA Engineer will:

Develop and refine FEA methods, standards and workflows to enhance simulation capability and efficiency.
Build, execute and interpret linear, nonlinear and explicit models to assess strength, stiffness and crash performance.
Support design optimisation for composite and metallic structures, including bonded assemblies.
Correlate simulations with physical testing and validate results using hand calculations and engineering judgement.
Provide clear, concise analysis reports and actionable recommendations to design and project teams.
Collaborate with design, aerodynamics and manufacturing teams to ensure structural integrity and performance targets are met.  
The FEA Engineer will have:

Degree in Mechanical, Automotive or Aerospace Engineering (or equivalent).
Strong experience in structural FEA using Hypermesh (OptiStruct / Radioss) and Simcenter Nastran.
Proven ability to develop methods and improve analysis workflows.
Solid understanding of composite materials, bonded joints, and nonlinear/explicit analysis.
Skilled in hand calculations to support and validate simulation results.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex findings clearly and confidently.  
If you're ready to bring simulation excellence to the forefront of high-performance engineering, we'd love to hear from you. Apply now to join a team where precision meets innovation, and your expertise drives real-world impact

Space Sector Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

The UK space sector is no longer a niche curiosity. It is now a strategic industry worth billions, employing tens of thousands of people across nearly 2,000 organisations – and it has been growing faster than the wider UK economy for years. At the same time, employers report serious skills shortages, especially in software, data and systems engineering, with recruitment and retention now cited as key barriers to growth. For job seekers, this is encouraging – but it does not mean every space application is an easy win. For recruiters, competing for talent with tech, defence, energy and finance is only getting harder. This article, written for www.ukspacejobs.co.uk , explores the space sector hiring trends to watch in 2026, aimed at both: Job seekers searching for terms like “space jobs in the UK”, “satellite jobs UK”, or “space engineer roles”; and Recruiters and hiring managers interested in “space sector hiring trends” and “space recruitment UK”.

Space Industry Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK space‑sector hiring has shifted from pedigree‑first screening to capability‑driven evaluation across the full stack—spacecraft systems, payload/RF, flight software, GNC/ADCS, propulsion, structures/thermal, AIT (assembly–integration–test), mission/ground operations, reliability/radiation, and compliance (ECSS, export control). Employers want proof you can build, test, operate and scale space systems safely and economically. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for satellite/spacecraft engineers, payload & RF/MM‑wave, flight & ground software, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal, AIT/test, mission ops, data/EO, and space product/TPM roles. Who this is for: Systems engineers, payload/RF engineers, flight software & FDIR, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal/structures, propulsion, AIT/test, reliability/radiation, QA/compliance, ground segment/cloud, mission operations, EO/data processing, and product/programme managers targeting roles in the UK space ecosystem.

Why Space Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

The UK’s space sector is growing fast — from satellite systems and Earth observation to satellite communications, space robotics, propulsion, space data analytics, and mission operations. But the nature of space work is changing. Projects involving satellites, launch systems, space robotics and ground infrastructure are now embedded in regulation, public perception, human interaction and cross-disciplinary design. Space careers in the UK used to be dominated by engineers, astrophysicists, systems analysts and telemetry experts. Today, they increasingly demand fluency not only in aerospace, software, electronics & data, but also in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. After all, space systems operate under treaties, privacy constraints, public scrutiny, international collaborations and human interfaces. In this article, we explore why space careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with space work, and what job-seekers & employers must do to thrive in this evolving cosmos.
