Analysis and Safety Engineer (f/m/d)

YOUR TASKS:

• Structural & Thermal Simulation: Perform FEA (static strength, stiffness, modal analysis, buckling, vibration, fatigue) and steady-state/transient thermal analyses using ANSYS (or comparable tools). Knowledge in the use of ESACRACK/NASGRO for mechanics, crack growth and fatigue analyses is beneficial.
• Space Safety: Lead the safety review process with respective authorities (NASA, ESA, SpaceX, implementation partners) in Phases 0/I/II/III and re-flight assessments acc. SSP 30599 or similar.
• Compliance: Ensure compliance with NASA (e.g., SSP 57000, SSP 51721) and relevant ECSS Q-40 safety requirements, and prepare analysis/verification documentation for agency reviews.
• Design Optimization: Correlate simulation results with test data to improve models. Work closely with mechanical/systems engineers to translate requirements into verifiable designs.
• CFD (Optional but preferred): Perform computational fluid dynamics analyses for thermal and fluid management.
• Design Reviews: Support design modifications in CAD (SolidWorks) and contribute to technical reviews (PDR, CDR, TRR) and qualification activities.

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED:

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering or a similar discipline.
• Experience: Several years of professional experience in structural/thermal simulation within the aerospace or highly regulated sectors.
• Tools: Strong proficiency in ANSYS Mechanical/Workbench. Good knowledge of CAD (SolidWorks).
• Safety/Fracture (highly desired but not mandatory): Proven experience with spaceflight safety engineering, hazard analyses, and fracture mechanics/crack growth tools (ESA Crack, NASGRO).
• Standards (highly desired but not mandatory): Familiarity with NASA (SSP 57000, SSP 51721, SSP 30599) or ECSS standards.
• Skills: Strong analytical problem-solving skills, ability to document analyses traceably, and fluent English communication (German is a plus).
• Nice-to-Have: Direct experience with ISS payload safety reviews, coupled thermo-fluid simulations, or Python/ANSYS scripting.

We offer

WHY YURI:

Space & Biotech

• Is there anything more exciting than the intersection of space and biotechnology?

You'll be working - directly or indirectly - on projects that are sent to the International Space Station and other space platforms.

Flexible Work

• We offer a flexible work environment with adjustable working hours and the option to work from home.

Location: Germany

• Our office is located in one of the most beautiful regions in Europe - right by Lake Constance, with the Alps just under an hour away for hiking or skiing.

You'll feel right at home in our cozy 600 m² loft office, complete with a spacious kitchen, foosball table, spikeball, and a well-stocked beer fridge (yes, beer and coffee are on us!).

Weekly team cooking sessions and regular team events add some extra variety to your work life.

Technology That Fits You

• Whether you're Team Mac or Team Windows, we'll help you find your perfect setup.

And because modern technology also means sustainable mobility for us, you can charge your e-car, e-bike, or e-scooter at our office in Meckenbeuren.

Diversity & Inclusion

• We care about each other and believe that a great workplace reflects the diversity of the world we live in.

We value what makes you unique - your gender, background, sexuality, religion, or even your (secret) dislike of pineapple on pizza.

Sustainability & Impact

• We offset the emissions from our rocket launches, business travel, and all other activities. On top of that, we also offset the private emissions of every team member.

You'll get one Impact Day per year to dedicate to social or environmental causes - whether that's joining a climate protest or volunteering your time for a good cause.
