FEA & Stress Engineer - Space Systems...

Job Description Space: vast, uncharted, and full of
infinite possibilities. Whether it’s making the Kessel Run in less
than 12 parsecs, expanding the bridge of the USS Enterprise for
Captain Kirk, or more realistically, building cutting-edge orbital
rockets, this is your chance to be part of something extraordinary.
Are you ready to push the boundaries of what’s possible in space
engineering? Join a fast-paced, mission-driven team in Cambridge as
a FEA and Stress Engineer, where you’ll play a critical role in
designing, validating, and optimizing the mechanical systems that
will operate in some of the harshest environments imaginable. What
you’ll be doing: 🚀 Lead all numerical simulations (FEA) for the
systems to ensure peak performance under extreme vibration, shock,
and thermal loads during rocket launches and in-orbit conditions. 🚀
Drive the design and optimization of optomechanical systems,
including satellite mirrors, with a focus on performance and
cost-efficiency. 🚀 Conceptualize and validate test rigs to simulate
real-world mission stresses, ensuring the hardware is launch- and
orbit-ready. 🚀 Collaborate with external manufacturers for
prototyping and production, regularly sourcing and evaluating new
partners to enhance quality and reduce lead times. 🚀 Mentor junior
engineers in CAD and FEA, helping to build a high-performing and
technically sharp team. What we’re looking for: 🌠 Strong background
in mechanical design and simulation (particularly FEA). 🌠
Experience with optomechanical systems or precision mechanisms is a
plus. 🌠 A proactive mindset and ability to work across disciplines
in a startup environment. 🌠 Passion for space and a desire to build
things that fly. What’s on offer: - A competitive salary of up to
£55,000 - Hybrid working arrangements - A dynamic, innovative work
environment in North Cambridge If this sounds like you and you're
