Job Description

Thermal & Structural Analysis Engineer (Space Systems)

Your analysis could directly impact hardware operating on the lunar surface within the next 12-18 months.

We’re working with an advanced aerospace team developing next-generation payload systems for a near-term lunar mission. This role is critical to ensuring hardware survives and performs in extreme environments-from launch through surface operations.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Developing and maintaining thermal models for complex spaceflight hardware
  • Performing structural and dynamic analysis (vibration, shock, acoustic loads)
  • Driving design decisions alongside mechanical and avionics teams
  • Supporting environmental test campaigns (thermal vacuum, vibration) and correlating results
  • Assessing risk and performance across mission phases

What We’re Looking For:

  • Strong experience with FEA tools (ANSYS, Nastran, Abaqus, etc.)
  • Background in thermal and/or structural analysis for complex systems
  • Understanding of dynamic environments and hardware response
  • Ability to translate analysis into practical engineering decisions
  • Engineers who thrive in high-ownership, fast-paced development environments

Ideal for engineers who want to move beyond pure analysis and directly influence real hardware operating in extreme environments .

Darwin Recruitment is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy.
