Graduate Structures Engineer
We are looking for a Graduate / Junior StructuresEngineer to begin your career in rocket structures and grow quickly through hands-on responsibility. You will have the opportunity to develop across design, analysis, manufacturing, materials, and testing while working closely with experienced structural engineers.
This role is designed for someone curious, practical, and eager to contribute wherever the team needs support. You will work with real hardware from day one and take on increasing ownership as your strengths and experience develop.
About us
We’re a Germany-based rocketry startup currently in stealth mode, scaling up rapidly to meet the demand for high-performance, reliable, and scalable solid propulsion technologies for space and defense applications.
We are already launching suborbital and ballistic rockets on a regular basis, have just crossed €10m in revenue for our first operating year and are applying our knowledge toward the development of an orbital rocket.
We are working hard to build something truly spectacular.
To thrive here you will need to be comfortable working at pace, with the autonomy to make decisions and execute on them quickly. If you’re excited by hard technical challenges and want a role where you will make a real difference each day to the future of the company, we may be the place for you.
At our company, job titles and career progression are earned, not determined by years of experience alone. They reflect the responsibility you take on and the dedication you bring to each project. If you’re ready to rise to the challenge, we’d love to hear from you.
Key responsibilities
Support the engineering of rocket structures, from geometry and modelling through to calculation and evaluation using CAD and FEA.
Gain hands-on experience manufacturing and prototyping composite hardware using filament-winding machines and curing equipment.
Help prepare and conduct structural tests and material-characterisation activities, including tensile testing, DSC, and microscopy.
Process engineering data and automate repetitive tasks using Python where useful.
Document methods, results, and technical decisions clearly.
Work closely with senior engineers and take on increasing ownership as your skills develop.
