NewOrbit Space - Structural Engineer

• We are seeking a Structural Engineer to support the design, analysis, testing, and qualification of structures for our VLEO satellite missions. You will work across the full development lifecycle of flight hardware, from early structural modelling and design reviews through environmental testing and validation, helping ensure the reliability and survivability of spacecraft operating in one of the harshest orbital environments. • You will work closely with mechanical, thermal, propulsion, systems, and AIT teams to develop structurally robust hardware capable of surviving launch and sustained operations in Ultra-Low Earth Orbit. • Perform structural analysis of flight hardware including spacecraft structures, propulsion subsystems, and mechanical assemblies. • Develop and validate finite element models (FEM) for spacecraft and high-performance aerospace structures. • Support structural sizing, stiffness optimisation, and load path analysis for launch and in-orbit environments. • Define and support environmental test campaigns including vibration, shock, and structural qualification testing. • Instrument hardware using accelerometers and strain gauges, and correlate test results back to analytical models. • Review engineering drawings and collaborate directly with designers to drive structural design decisions. • Support qualification activities against relevant aerospace and space standards including GEVS, ECSS, and NASA requirements. • Contribute to structural verification activities across development, integration, and test phases.
