An emerging leader in launch vehicle innovation is building the next generation of fully and rapidly reusable rockets, engineered to fly daily and radically reduce the cost, increase the cadence, and improve the reliability of getting to space. Their mission is rooted in the belief that a scalable space economy enables a more vibrant, sustainable, and equitable future on Earth.
As a Senior Structures Design Engineer, you’ll take ownership of complex structural subsystems-designing, analyzing, and seeing your hardware through from concept to flight. This is a highly hands-on role in a collaborative, startup-style environment, with a team that thrives on accountability, mission focus, and technical excellence.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Leading the structural design of the rocket across pressurized, primary, and thrust-bearing components
Taking full lifecycle ownership of your hardware (design, analysis, build, integration, flight)
Developing load paths, load cases, and conducting structural analyses (hand calcs to FEA)
Working side-by-side with manufacturing and test teams
Creating tools and design guidelines to improve development cycles
Mentoring junior engineers and contributing to a strong, empowered engineering culture
You’ll Need:
8+ years of experience in aerospace primary structures (with flown hardware)
Strong fundamentals and engineering judgment
Hands-on experience with CAD (NX preferred) and analysis tools (ANSYS preferred)
Ability to balance quick-turn calculations with high-fidelity simulations
Background in launch vehicles and/or cryogenic propellants is a plus
Proven mentorship experience and excellent communication skills
Bachelor’s degree in engineering
Why This Team:
Work on a mission-critical program pushing the boundaries of reusability
Own your work from idea to orbit in a fast-paced, low-ego environment
Join a company backed by significant funding and led by experts from top-tier space companies
Dog-friendly office, 401(k) match, stock options, paid parental leave, wellness perks, and more
