Senior Analysis Engineer

Senior Analysis Engineer (all genders)

Senior Analysis Engineer – Join our multidisciplinary team of 60+ engineers, where you will develop cutting‑edge launcher structures for the payloads of tomorrow.

You will work in a cross‑cultural environment, serving a global customer base and engaging with a broad range of technologies. Our collaborative and lean organisation fosters creativity and professional growth, supported by highly skilled experts.

• Conduct and lead highly complex tasks without supervision. Establish sustainable solutions to prevent recurrence of issues by defining analysis approaches to investigate mechanical design problems or verify solutions.
• Establish and review analysis methods, creating mathematical models for static and dynamic finite‑element analysis.
• Guide and coach a small team (3–4 members) under your technical supervision.
• Perform test predictions, test evaluations, and correlations.
• Perform detailed stress and strength verification analysis.
• Lead analysis activities for a product family/portfolio across product development, production support, innovation, and project phases.
• Act as the local technical authority in your field and first level of escalation, proposing market‑oriented initiatives to improve existing products and processes.
• Communicate cross‑functionally with adjacent engineering fields and non‑engineering departments (operations, quality, procurement, etc.).
• Support processes and product continuous improvements to deliver in line with customer quality, cost, and demand.
• Write and review technical documentation (test plans, analysis reports, project deliverables, technical specifications) and adapt to product‑ and mission‑specific requirements.
• Own technical, budget, and schedule responsibilities for task fulfillment, coordinating the work of others within the discipline and setting priorities.
• Participate in Non‑Conformance Review Boards (NRBs) per the NC process, proposing technical solutions, securing root‑cause analysis measures, and implementing Lessons Learned.
• Represent your engineering field during negotiations and reviews with customers, suppliers, or subcontractors.
• Co‑work in the bidding team for proposals, quotations, concept work, developments, and interdisciplinary collaboration in make‑or‑buy decisions, assessing schedule and cost estimates as well as technical roadmap.
• Build and maintain relevant contact with external stakeholders.
• Co‑operate in coaching and skill enhancement initiatives, identifying, managing, and maintaining associated competences, leading training initiatives, developing learning materials, and ensuring standardisation within your field of activity.

• University/ETH master's degree in mechanical engineering or aerospace engineering.
• Minimum 12 years’ experience in an aerospace company (or equivalent relevant experience) in the fields of FE Analysis with MSC (NASTRAN), Altair Hyperworks (Opti Struct) and/or Abaqus & NX Siemens, detailed stress analysis.
• Proven expertise in static/dynamic/non‑linear analysis, hand calculations, fatigue and damage tolerance (ESACRACK & Nasgro), shock, analysis of metallic, composites and sandwich structures.
• Proficient with the following solvers: NASTRAN, Opti Struct, ABAQUS.
• Experience in test prediction and correlation of structures and components, static and dynamic.
• Nice to have:
  Experience in analysis of payload fairing and other launcher or satellite structures, experience on separation systems, advanced knowledge in detailed stress analysis using aerospace methods, advanced knowledge in mechanical layout of aerospace structures and components, experience in Acoustic, micro vibration, stability and CFD, leadership experience.

• Work in an international environment with a global mindset and high‑tech products that will fly into space.
• A highly specialised and motivated team with a lot of know‑how in a unique industry.
• We live a hands‑on mentality and take suggestions for improvement seriously.
• Attractive employment conditions, including contribution to public transport, training and development opportunities, full paid maternity/paternity leave, and many more.
• Flexible and mobile working and at least 5 weeks of vacation with the possibility to buy additional vacation.
