Position Reference 631 RHEA Group is a growing international company, focusing on providing innovative, marketready solutions and services in our key sectors of Space and Security for both commercial and institutional customers. We employ over 500 staff working across 10 different countries. We work with distinguished clients such as the European Space Agency, EUMETSAT, NATO, European Commission, Canadian Government and national space agencies. When you work for RHEA, you will have the opportunity to work alongside some of the best talented minds and experts in our industries, either working at our clients sites on some of the most exciting space missions or on cuttingedge projects in security, concurrent design, data and ground systems within our own offices. To attract the best candidates, RHEA offers our employees competitive remuneration packages, unique career opportunities, individualised training and development programmes and local relocation support to take the stress out moving to another country or city. We are recruiting now. We understand your concerns during this period of a global pandemic and we will work with you, at your pace ensuring your questions are answered and maximum flexibility is offered. We are currently looking for a Structures Engineer to work in Noordwijk, The Netherlands. Tasks and Activities The scope of work will include Design and Configuration Issue relevant documentation covering all configuration definition aspects, and where necessary shall support the configuration definition by preliminary structural analyses using FEM models. Ensure CAD interfaces and configuration data transfer with Agency contractors via international standards. Ensure the interface between the CAD systems and the relevant FEM tools to enable further evaluation of the structural behaviour. Contribute to the further development of the Structures and Configuration tools deployed in the Agency, including in the CDF. Support progress meetings and reviews in support to Agency projects. Support the updating and maintenance of CAD and FE models databases. Support and contribute to the establishment and maintenance of relevant Structures Engineering Standards and Handbooks. Structures Static, BucklingStability, ThermoElastic Analysis Support the generation and setup of structural mathematical models using the finite element method for structural analysis problems for Agency funded projects, taking into account the specific objectives of such analysis, covering all structural materials applied in spacecraft and launchers. Where necessary nonlinear approaches and specific solution sequences shall be applieddeveloped e.g. Nastran SOL 600, Mecano, Abaqus. Perform the analysis, evaluate critically the results and issue relevant documentation covering all analysis steps. Support the generation and setup of mathematical models for structural elastic stability problems for Agency funded projects, taking into account specific requirements attached to this type of analysis. Perform stability analysis leading to the determination of buckling loads and deformations. Where necessary the post buckling behaviour shall be addressed, adequate nonlinear approaches used, and where relevant specific solution sequences shall be developed. Evaluate critically the results, and issue relevant documentation covering all analysis steps Support the generation and setup of mathematical models for structural thermoelastic stability problems for Agency funded projects, taking into account specific requirements attached to this type of analysis. Perform the interpolation of the temperature maps as resulting from thermal analysis for their employment in finite element structural analysis. Perform thermoelastic analysis leading to the determination of loads and deformations, evaluate the outcome in terms of margins of safety and stability budgets, evaluate critically the results and issue relevant documentation covering all analysis steps. Where necessary nonlinear approaches shall be considered and specific solution sequences shall be developed. Evaluate critically the results and the loads and issue relevant documentation. Structural Dynamics Analysis and Vibration Test Data Evaluation Support the generation and setup of structural dynamic mathematical models for spacecraft and launchers of Agency funded projects using the finite element method. Heshe shall take into account the specific objectives of such analysis and where necessary nonlinear approaches shall be considered and specific solution sequences e.g. Nastran DMAPS shall be developed. Perform the analysis modal, frequency and transient responses, random responses, preliminary inhouse launcher spacecraft coupled analysis, evaluate critically the results and issue relevant documentation covering all analysis steps. Produce advanced reduced models of spacecraft and launchers. Set up relevant documents and maintain all models and tools required to perform launcher spacecraft coupled loads analysis. Support the preparation and execution of mechanical tests modal survey, sine, random, acoustics, microvibration, shock, etc for spacecraft launchers of Agency projects by performing andor reviewing analytical predictions and procedures. Perform modal identification of the test data, evaluate critically the results and make usage of these results for updating structural finite element models. Perform assessments of shock response data. Take into account the specific objectives of such analyses and where necessary nonlinear analyses shall be performed and specific solution sequences shall be developed. Issue relevant documentation covering all analysis steps. Where applicable produce advanced reduced dynamic mathematical models. Skills and Experience The following skills and experience are mandatory A Masters degree or equivalent in mechanical or aeronautical engineering. At least 5 to 10 years experience in the space industry on the mechanical design, development and verification of space segment hardware. Relevant experience within the field of spacecraft and launcher structures design, analysis, verification and testing.
