Vienna, Austria

Your mission

As a Senior Analysis Engineer for mechanical space components, you are the analysis lead in complex development projects and act as a technical expert. You will:

• Perform detailed dynamic (sine and random) analyses of complex mechanisms with focus on dynamic architecture, lightweight design and cost effective design solutions;
• Perform detailed stress analysis of aerospace structures and components using both classical hand calculations and advanced finite element methods (FEM);
• Identify failure scenarios and collaborate with design engineers to review and optimize structural designs;
• Basic knowledge of fracture and crack growth analyses of mechanical components would be beneficial;
• Analyze and provide possible solutions to manufacturing non-conformities;
• Defines testing criteria and prepares test requirements, supports testing activities and evaluates test results and performs correlations of corresponding models to verify sizing assumptions and qualify hardware;
• Prepare comprehensive stress analysis reports and documentation for internal/external use;
• Improve our standards and toolchain for structural verification;
• Be familiar with classical design standards and have experience in the use of CAD software;
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to junior engineers within the team;
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team capability growth.

Your story

• A Master’s degree (or equivalent) in mechanical, thermal, mechatronics, structural or similar engineering fields;
• 5+ years of experience in a similar role in aerospace industry;
• Profound knowledge in classical hand-calculations and advanced FE Modelling of aerospace structures (Simcenter NX preferred);
• High degree of independence and confidence in assessing and trading design risks;
• Strong engineering intuition with regards to load paths and failure mechanisms;
• Multiple years of experience using CAD;
• Fluency in English, German nice to have;
• Who you are: Curious, collaborative, decisive, and passionate about high‑quality engineering.
