About the Role
Canada Rocket Company is building a sovereign launch capability for Canada. This role is for a structure analyst proficient in first order calculations, FEA, and analysis code development. You will work across design, analysis, development, operation, and reuse scenarios in a fast-moving environment, making consequential design decisions and establishing propulsion and stage fluids systems for an orbital launch vehicle program.
Responsibilities
- Perform structural analysis of propulsion and stage fluid components including combustion chambers, nozzles, turbopumps, injectors, feed lines, and components
- Define load cases and environments based on steady state and transient engine operations, system pressures, thermal conditions, vibration, acoustic, and aerodynamics
- Develop and run finite element models (FEM) to evaluate stress, strain, deflection, buckling, and modal response under static, dynamic, and thermal loading conditions
- Assess fatigue, fracture, and creep life for components subjected to cyclic and high-temperature loading, supporting durability and reusability requirements
- Generate margins of safety against yield, ultimate, and stability failure modes, and document findings in formal stress reports
- Support design trades and provide analysis-driven recommendations to improve weight, manufacturability, and structural robustness
- Create and maintain analysis methods, tools, and scripts
- Correlate analytical models with hot-fire, proof, vibration, and component-level test data, and refine models accordingly
- Develop and apply material allowables, including for additively manufactured and high-temperature alloys common in propulsion hardware
- Contribute to anomaly investigations and root-cause analysis when hardware behaves unexpectedly in test or flight
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience with one or more of the following: Structural analysis using Ansys Mechanical
- Experience with cryogenic fluids
- Inclination toward a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment with rapid hardware development using iterative design-build-test cycles that are central to the engineering culture
- Thermal analysis proficiency
- Fluid analysis proficiency
- Experience with liquid bipropellant rocket engines
- Experience with methane systems
- Exposure to complex fluid systems as well as understanding the behaviour of the mechanisms in those systems
