Original job description

Quantum Space is redefining mobility and maneuverability in space. Our high-mobility spacecraft platforms support national security, civil, and commercial missions with unmatched flexibility and propulsion capability. We build fast and iterate quickly.

Who We’re Looking For

We are seeking a Spacecraft Structural Analyst III to lead the design, analysis, and development of spacecraft structural systems across multiple flight programs. In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring structural integrity from early concept through flight, performing high-fidelity structural analyses, supporting hardware testing, and driving design decisions that balance mass, strength, and manufacturability.

As a senior member of the engineering team, you will work closely with propulsion, avionics, thermal, and systems engineers to ensure structurally sound spacecraft designs while helping guide structural standards, modeling practices, and verification approaches across the company.

Where You’ll Make an Impact

Structural Design & Analysis

Lead structural analysis and design efforts for spacecraft primary and secondary structures
Perform detailed analyses including static, modal, vibration, shock, acoustic, and thermal-structural coupling
Develop finite element models to evaluate structural margins across launch and on-orbit environments
Conduct structural trade studies to optimize mass, stiffness, manufacturability, and system integration

Structural Modeling & Simulation

Build and maintain spacecraft finite element models (FEM) using tools such as NASTRAN, FEMAP, ANSYS, or equivalent
Generate analysis-ready models from CAD assemblies (Creo or similar) and ensure consistency between design and analysis configurations
Develop analysis workflows and modeling practices to support rapid design iteration

Structural Verification & Test Support

Define structural verification strategies including analysis-based margin justification and environmental test plans
Support structural testing campaigns including vibration, acoustic, shock, and static load testing
Correlate FEM results with test data and update models to improve predictive capability

Cross-Functional Integration

Collaborate closely with mechanical, propulsion, avionics, GNC, and thermal teams to ensure structural compatibility across spacecraft systems
Participate in design reviews, technical discussions, and program milestones to ensure structural readiness
Identify structural risks early and propose mitigation strategies

Technical Leadership

Provide mentorship and technical guidance to junior structural and mechanical engineers
Contribute to development of internal structural analysis standards, tools, and best practices
Support program leadership with structural insights during key engineering and mission decisions

What It Takes

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Structural Engineering
7+ years of experience performing structural analysis for spacecraft, launch vehicles, or comparable aerospace hardware
Strong experience with finite element analysis (FEA) tools such as NASTRAN, FEMAP, ANSYS, Abaqus, or similar
Experience building structural models directly from CAD assemblies (Creo, SolidWorks, NX, or equivalent)
Expertise analyzing launch and dynamic environments, including sine/random vibration, shock, and acoustic loads
Experience supporting structural testing and model correlation using real hardware test data
Knowledge of aerospace structural materials, joints, fasteners, and lightweight structural design techniques
Ability to operate independently while collaborating effectively across multidisciplinary teams

Nice-to-Have Experience

Experience with spacecraft structural environments and mission loads
Familiarity with composite structures, thin-walled pressure vessels, or propulsion system structures
Experience supporting environmental test campaigns, including instrumentation and fixture design
Familiarity with Python or MATLAB for analysis automation or post-processing
Experience with fracture mechanics tools such as NASGRO
Familiarity with aerospace structural standards such as NASA-STD-5001, SMC-S-016, or MIL-STD-1540
Experience working in a fast-paced startup or rapid development environment

What You’ll Get

Ownership – Lead structural analysis and development of mission-critical spacecraft systems from early design through verification, testing, and flight
Innovation – Contribute to next-generation spacecraft technologies by developing advanced structural solutions that enable greater space mobility, maneuverability, and mission capabilities
Impact – Play a direct role in ensuring the structural integrity, reliability, and performance of spacecraft supporting national security, civil, and commercial missions
Growth – Join a collaborative, fast-paced engineering team where you can expand your technical expertise, mentor fellow engineers, and help shape structural analysis practices and future spacecraft development
Compensation – Competitive salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, generous leave, FSA, 401(k) matching, and equity sharing

Location: Rockville, MD

Base Salary: $140,000-195,000

The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Quantum Space's total compensation package.
