The posting

The Destinus engineering team is seeking a Stress Engineer to support structural sizing and simulation with a focus on non-linear and thermomechanical analysis of solid rocket motor structures.

A core part of this role is the structural simulation of propellant grains, liner bonds, thermal protection systems (TPS), and propellant–liner–casing interfaces – combining FEA with material characterization and test correlation to build substantiated models of energetic material assemblies.

What You’ll Do

· Conduct stress analysis using both classical hand-calculation methods and FEA – linear and non-linear, static and dynamic

· Simulate solid rocket motor structures: propellant grain stress and strain fields, bond integrity at propellant–liner and liner–casing interfaces, TPS thermomechanical response, and igniter/nozzle attachment loads

· Conduct non-linear simulations covering geometric non-linearity, material non-linearity (plasticity, hyperelasticity for propellant and elastomeric materials), and contact mechanics

· Perform thermomechanical analysis across metallic, composite, bonded, and polymeric structures under thermal cycling and operational loads

· Support experimental characterisation of propellant, liner, and bonded joint materials; feed test results (lap shear, peel, tensile, and DMA data) into material models and allowables

· Correlate FE predictions against strain gauge, load, and thermal test data; validate and update models accordingly

· Prepare stress reports, margin-of-safety calculations, and design justification documentation

Requirements

What You’ll Need

· Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field

· 3–5 years of industry experience in stress analysis of aerospace or mechanical structures

· Proficiency with FEA packages: NASTRAN (Femap or equivalent), Abaqus, or Optistruct/HyperWorks for both linear and non-linear analysis

· Strong classical stress analysis skills: beam theory, buckling, fastener and joint analysis, margin-of-safety calculations

· Experience with non-linear material modelling – plasticity, hyperelasticity, or viscoelasticity; familiarity with propellant or elastomeric material constitutive models is a strong advantage

· Experience with thermomechanical or thermal-structural analysis

· Experience correlating FE predictions with experimental test data

· Background in solid rocket motor, propulsion, or energetic structures is a strong advantage

· Fluent in English; German or French is an advantage

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
