Structural Analysis Engineer H/F

Description

Les missions du poste About the Company Established in 2017, Infinite Orbits is a NewSpace company, based in Toulouse, pushing the boundaries of in-orbit services with cutting-edge spacecraft driven by its own Rendez-Vous solution, an advanced Autonomous Vision-Based Navigation Solution. IO has two generations of missions "Orbit Guard" provides Inspection and Space Situational Awareness services in GEO. Our first, OG-1 was launched on 1 May 2023, the second is launching in 2025 and the third third launching in 2026. "Endurance" is a docking service capable of extending the life of GEO telecom satellites, by taking over AOCS takeover for 5 years. We are looking for a Structural Analysis Engineer to take ownership of structural analysis across both subsystems and full satellite platform level. This role requires deep expertise in Nastran (Femap preferred) and strong experience bridging analysis and physical testing. You will work in close partnership with the Mechanical Architect to ensure structural performance, mass optimization, and interface consistency across the spacecraft. Your work will directly influence design decisions from early architecture phases through qualification. Job Description - Own structural analysis for satellite subsystems (e.g., payload, avionics, propulsion support structures) and the integrated spacecraft platform. - Collaborate closely with the Mechanical Architect to define load paths, structural concepts, and overall architecture. - Develop and maintain detailed FEM models using Nastran (Femap preferred) at both component and full-system levels. - Perform linear and nonlinear analyses: static, modal, random vibration, shock, and coupled loads. - Define and manage load cases for launch, separation, transportation, and in-orbit environments. - Ensure load path continuity and interface consistency across subsystems and at spacecraft level. - Lead structural sizing, margin assessment, and design optimization across multiple levels of integr
