Role: Senior Structural Design & Analysis Engineer

Employment Type: Full Time

Educational Qualification: Bachelors or Masters degree in Mechanical / Aerospace Engineering or equivalent discipline.

Work Experience: 5 years of relevant experience for Master’s candidates or 4 years of relevant experience for Bachelor’s candidates.

Role Description:

At Pixxel, we design, manufacture, test and place satellites in orbits. As a Structural Design and Analysis Engineer, you are responsible for the execution of an end-to-end design cycle of satellite structures including verification & validation of the simulation results. Additionally, you are also expected to create BOM, Engineering drawings and interface with manufacturing vendors for successful realization of structure.

Responsibilities & Duties:
CAD Modeling of satellite structures, subsystems, avionic package housings, brackets etc.
Parametric CAD modeling to perform quick design iterations.
Finite Element Modeling and Analysis of satellite structures - Primary, Secondary and Tertiary.
Perform Modal, Static,



Shock, Acoustic, Sine and Random Vibration analysis using a commercial FEA package (preferably Siemens NX & Nastran).
Perform analytical calculations to estimate design loads involving static and energetic load cases.
Generate load profiles for qualification testing of the satellite structure and verify the validity of these loads with the rest of the spacecraft vibration setting.
Work with the testing team to establish test goals, requirements and pass/fail criteria.
Perform correlation analysis between FEA and test data to improve FEM modeling methodologies.
Perform trade-off and case studies on various edge-cases and cross-domain problems that could potentially impact and lead to structural design changes.
Prepare concept design documentation on demand for pitching design ideas to internal & external stakeholders.
Estimation of Mass Properties at subsystem as well as satellite level.
