ph3Senior / Principal Structures Engineer /h3 pbLocation: /b Canada (Relocation Supported) /p pbType: /b Full‑time, On‑site /p h3About The Opportunity /h3 pAn ambitious launch vehicle company is building a next‑generation orbital launch system and is looking for a Senior / Principal Structures Engineer to own critical structural hardware from concept through flight. This is not a pure analysis role. You'll be responsible for designing, developing, validating, and delivering flight hardware, working across the full engineering lifecycle in a fast‑moving development environment. You'll have significant ownership over major launch vehicle structures and work alongside propulsion, manufacturing, test, integration, and systems teams to bring hardware from CAD to the launch pad. The company is led by engineers from some of the world's leading space organizations and is building a culture around rapid development, hardware ownership, and practical engineering. /p h3Responsibilities /h3 ul liOwn major structural hardware from concept through flight qualification. /li liTranslate system requirements into lightweight, manufacturable structural designs. /li liDesign primary load‑bearing structures and develop efficient load paths. /li liPerform structural sizing using both first‑principles calculations and finite element analysis. /li liDevelop joints, interfaces, and structural layouts for highly loaded aerospace hardware. /li liCorrelate analysis with physical test data and continuously improve designs. /li liWork closely with manufacturing to ensure designs are practical and producible. /li liSupport hardware throughout fabrication, assembly, testing, anomaly resolution, and design iteration.
