Position Summary

We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer with 3-5 years of experience. This role involves duties in mechanical design as well as modeling and simulation. Mechanical design tasks may include CAD design, prototyping, design for manufacturing, and drawing creation. Modeling and simulation tasks include Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using COMSOL Multiphysics (structural, fluids, electromagnetics, acoustics, heat transfer), validation studies, and code development in Matlab or Python. Strong skills in technical writing, documentation, and presentations are required, along with the ability to manage multiple projects and work both independently and collaboratively.

Duties and Responsibilities

Mechanical Design and Integration

  • Work collaboratively with engineers to create and refine concepts into detailed designs to meet client requirements.
  • Draft detailed multi-view drawings of parts and assemblies, including all necessary dimensions, specifications and notes.
  • Use computer assisted design/drafting software to develop sketches, models and working drawings.
  • Support prototyping and assembly of designed components (machining, welding).
  • Work with in-house fabricators and external vendors to produce acceptable parts.

Modeling & Simulation

  • Define, build, execute, and interpret Finite Element Analysis (FEA) models to support internal and external customers for a wide range of applications.
  • Coordinate simulation requests and balance a diverse portfolio of simulation tasks to support engineers throughout the company.
  • Build and modify CAD models in SolidWorks/COMSOL as necessary for models.
  • Perform physical testing and/or benchmarking to validate and verify model results.
  • Document progress and results through reports and presentations to team members and customers.

Required Qualifications

  • Experience developing FEA models for a variety of engineering facets such as structural, fluids, heat transfer, composites, electromagnetics, etc.
  • Advanced solid modeling skills, SolidWorks preferred.
  • Ability to apply fundamental engineering/physics equations to verify model results.
  • Understanding of the design of experiments, prototype fabrication, and testing to create validation experiments and plans to support modeling efforts.
  • Strong skills in documenting and presenting data and results.
  • Experience with GD&T, tolerance stack up analysis, and design for manufacturability, design for additive manufacturing (DFAM).

Education/Experience

  • BS in Mechanical Engineering. Advanced degree preferred.
  • 3-5 years' industry experience with mechanical design and simulation.
  • FEA experience including some of the following: COMSOL Multiphysics, FEMAP/Nastran, ANSYS and/or ABAQUS.
  • Coding experience with MATLAB or Python.

Due to the nature of our business and information associated with this position, interested candidates must be US Citizens.

Tips for Staying Inspired: How Space Professionals Fuel Creativity and Innovation

The space industry captures our collective imagination like few others—sending probes to distant planets, launching constellations of satellites for global connectivity, even exploring the possibility of human settlements beyond Earth. From propulsion engineers and satellite architects to astrophysicists and mission control specialists, the field is a fusion of cutting-edge technology and grand ambitions. Yet, in this demanding arena, rife with rigorous testing, tight budgets, risk mitigation, and lengthy research cycles, even the most fervent space professionals can find their creative fire dwindling at times. How do people working in space—whether at government agencies, private aerospace firms, or research institutions—maintain a spark of innovation amid technical complexities, funding pressures, and enormous stakes? Below, we explore ten practical strategies to keep you inspired, inventive, and energised. Whether you’re building propulsion systems, planning satellite missions, or leading new explorations of lunar resources, these tips can help you break out of ruts, generate fresh perspectives, and push boundaries that define the future of humanity’s journey among the stars.

Top 10 Space Career Myths Debunked: Key Facts for Aspiring Professionals

The space industry has surged well beyond the era of government-led missions and iconic moon landings. Today, a diverse ecosystem of private companies, public agencies, and research institutions drives innovation in satellite technology, launch services, microgravity research, human spaceflight, planetary exploration, and more. With emerging trends like space tourism, in-orbit servicing, and interplanetary missions, there’s never been a more exciting time to pursue a career in this far-reaching field. Yet, myths about space careers still linger—from the idea that you must be a former fighter pilot to get involved, to the assumption that space jobs exist only for rocket scientists at a handful of major agencies. At ukspacejobs.co.uk, we see how these misconceptions can limit people’s aspirations in a domain that truly spans engineering, science, business, and beyond. In this article, we debunk the top 10 myths surrounding space careers—illuminating the reality of an industry that’s growing, diversifying, and actively seeking new talent. Whether you’re a student passionate about astronomy, a software developer intrigued by satellite systems, or a professional ready to pivot into space technologies, read on to see how the cosmos might be your next frontier.

Global vs. Local: Comparing the UK Space Job Market to International Landscapes

How to evaluate opportunities, salaries, and work culture in space technology across the UK, the US, Europe, and Asia The space industry is booming, no longer dominated solely by government agencies and massive aerospace contractors.
