Most Engineers Design for the Atmosphere. We Need the One Who Designs for the Abyss.
Imagine your structural models surviving the violent acoustics of a rocket launch, only to unfold seamlessly in the freezing, silent vacuum of orbit. You aren’t just running simulations; you are the final line of defense ensuring Europe's most critical space hardware doesn't fail when it matters most.
We are exclusively representing a pioneering, heavily funded deep-tech space company in Garching, Germany. They are building massive, deployable satellite structures backed by long-term ESA contracts. They don't need a manager to push papers; they need a visionary Lead Structural Analysis Engineer to guide a brilliant, multicultural team of six through the most brutal load cases the cosmos can throw at them.
Let’s be brutally honest: "Aerospace" is a broad term, but our client only cares about the Space part. If your career is grounded in general aviation or aeronautics, this mission is a no-go.
The Non-Negotiables
This is a high-stakes environment. There is zero flexibility on the following criteria—if you do not meet them, your profile will not pass the initial sweep.
10+ Years in the Space Industry: You must have a career built on objects designed to leave the atmosphere. Aviation profiles will be immediately screened out.
Proven Command: At least 3+ years explicitly leading and mentoring engineering teams (5+ people) on complex space projects.
Elite Technical Arsenal: Deep, undisputed expertise in FEMAP and NASTRAN (linear and non-linear).
Automation Mastery: You build, validate, and optimize workflows using Python, MATLAB, or FORTRAN.
Standard Bearer: Intimate, working knowledge of ESA/ECSS structural verification standards.
Environmental Empathy: A profound understanding of extreme space environments (vacuum, thermal extremes, structural stiffness).
The Arsenal & The Reward
You will be joining a "no-ego," purpose-driven culture where the best idea wins, period.
Compensation: €80,000 – €100,000 gross per year, plus discretionary performance bonuses.
The Work Setup: Based in modern offices in Garching, Germany. Hybrid model (1-2 days remote per week).
The Perks: Unmatched ownership over real, flight-qualified hardware, stable project funding through 2029+, and a clear trajectory for career growth in a flat-hierarchy environment.
