Role: Lead / Senior Spacecraft Structures Engineer
Industry: Space Technology
Location: Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India
Role Type: Full time
Experience: 5+ years of experience

Key Responsibilities:
Design spacecraft primary and secondary structures, including frames, panels, decks, brackets, equipment mounts, payload interfaces, and other flight-hardware assemblies.
Translate spacecraft level mechanical, launch, payload, thermal, and interface requirements into practical structural designs.
Develop structural concepts that achieve the required balance of mass, stiffness, strength, manufacturability, reliability, cost, and schedule.
Own detailed 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, interface definitions, GD&T;, tolerance schemes, and manufacturing release packages.
Perform preliminary structural sizing and engineering calculations for load paths, margins, joints, fasteners, interfaces, and critical structural elements.
Work closely with structural analysis engineers to evaluate static strength, modal behaviour, vibration response, buckling, fatigue,



and launchload settings.
Use analysis and test results to refine designs and close structural margins efficiently.
Select appropriate materials, manufacturing processes, surface treatments, joining methods, inserts, fasteners, and structural interfaces for flight hardware.
Design for manufacturing, assembly, integration, inspection, and test not simply for CAD completeness.
Conduct tolerance-stack and interface assessments to ensure reliable assembly of spacecraft and payload hardware.
Work closely with Systems, Payload, RF, Thermal, Electronics, AIT, Manufacturing, Analysis, and Quality teams to resolve multidisciplinary design challenges.
Support supplier selection, technical discussions, manufacturing reviews, non-conformance resolution, and inspection of flight hardware.
Participate in and drive mechanical portions of design reviews such as PDR, CDR, manufacturing readiness, test readiness, and f
