Aerospace Structural Engineer information

What is an aerospace structural engineer?

An Aerospace Structural Engineer designs, analyzes, and tests the structural components of aircraft and spacecraft to ensure they can withstand operational stresses. They use materials science and engineering principles to create lightweight yet strong structures. Their work involves simulations, stress analysis, and collaboration with other engineers to meet safety and performance standards.

What does an aerospace structural engineer do?

A typical day for an Aerospace Structural Engineer may include performing stress and fatigue analyses on aircraft components, collaborating with design teams to develop new structural concepts, and reviewing design modifications for compliance with safety standards. Engineers often use advanced computer modeling tools to simulate loads and material behaviors under various flight conditions. Regular meetings with manufacturing, quality assurance, and testing teams are common to address real-time issues and ensure smooth integration of structural components. The role also involves preparing technical reports and documentation to support regulatory approvals and internal reviews.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an aerospace structural engineer?

Aerospace Structural Engineers require a solid background in structural analysis, materials science, and engineering principles, typically supported by a bachelor's or master's degree in aerospace or mechanical engineering. Proficiency with finite element analysis (FEA) software such as ANSYS or NASTRAN, and familiarity with industry standards like FAA or EASA certification requirements, are crucial. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication abilities help engineers collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and present technical findings. These combined skills ensure the safe, efficient, and innovative design and validation of aerospace structures in a highly regulated industry.

Mechanical- Fluids Intern (Fall 26)

Spaceium

Ottawa, ON

Internship

Re-posted 4 days ago


Job description

At Spaceium, we are building spacecraft systems designed to push the boundaries of what's possible in orbit. As a Mechanical - Fluids Intern, you will work alongside our mechanical and fluid systems engineering teams on real spacecraft hardware. This is a hands-on role where you will contribute to the design, analysis, and testing of mechanical structures and fluid handling systems critical to our missions.

Responsibilities
  • Support mechanical design and CAD modeling for spacecraft components and assemblies
  • Assist with fluid system layout, plumbing, and component selection
  • Help build and maintain test setups, ground support equipment, and fluid test benches
  • Support structural, thermal, and fluid analysis tasks
  • Assist with assembly, integration, and testing of mechanical and fluid hardware
  • Contribute to documentation, test reports, and design reviews
  • Collaborate with electrical, software, and systems engineers
Basic Qualifications
  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
  • Familiarity with CAD tools (SolidWorks, NX, Fusion 360, or similar)
  • Basic understanding of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and statics
  • Eagerness to learn and work in a fast-paced startup environment
What We're Looking For

We're building technology that hasn't been done before. Experience is helpful, but curiosity, drive, and the ability to learn quickly matter more. If you're excited about spacecraft, enjoy solving hard engineering problems, and want to help build something new, we encourage you to apply.

Preferred Skills
  • Creative problem solver with strong first-principles thinking, capable of assessing risk and making decisions with limited data.
  • Experience in a nimble, technical engineering role, with a scrappy, entrepreneurial approach to meeting tight time or budget constraints.
  • Hands-on experience with personal or academic mechanical or fluid projects
  • Familiarity with FEA or CFD tools
  • Experience with machining, 3D printing, or hands-on prototyping
  • Interest in spacecraft propulsion, thermal, or fluid transfer systems
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
Additional Requirements
  • Extended hours and weekend work may be required to support critical project and mission milestones.
  • This role requires a physical presence at the Ottawa facility.
