About the Role

Canada Rocket Company is building a sovereign launch capability for Canada. This role supports the design and development of vehicle structures, working across structures, fluids, and propulsion to design load-bearing and pressure-holding systems that form the airframe. It's a cross-functional position for an engineer comfortable with CAD, analysis, manufacturing, and testing, aimed at solving practical, multidisciplinary design problems and turning launch vehicle concepts into hardware.

Responsibilities

Support the design and development of structural hardware such as tanks, interstages, and integrated assemblies.
Own and be accountable for structural systems from concept through design, supplier discussion, manufacturing, test, iteration, and flight integration.
Translate requirements into mechanical concepts, detailed designs, and released hardware that meet functional, structural, thermal, packaging, manufacturability, and reliability targets.
Develop CAD models, detailed drawings, interface definitions, and release packages for hardware spanning prototype, development, qualification, and flight configurations.
Perform engineering analyses including hand calculations and FEA-supported assessments related to strength, stiffness, vibration, thermal effects, tolerance stack-up, fit-up, and functional performance.
Drive packaging and integration of structural hardware within tight vehicle environments, balancing accessibility, maintainability, assembly flow, mass, and interface constraints.
Partner closely with avionics, propulsion, fluids, manufacturing, integration, and test teams to ensure designs are practical, well integrated, and executable.
Support design-for-manufacture and design-for-assembly decisions, with a strong understanding of manufacturing and assembly processes, and relevant interfaces.

Requirements

Experience in mechanical design and development for aerospace, automotive, or similarly demanding hardware environments.
Strong experience owning mechanical components or assemblies from concept through detailed design, manufacturing, build, test, and deployment.
Proficiency in CAD and mechanical drawing creation, with the ability to generate clear, manufacturable, and well-controlled hardware definitions.
Strong engineering fundamentals, including statics, strength of materials, basic structural mechanics, tolerance stack-ups, fits, joints, and practical design for real hardware.
Ability to perform and interpret engineering analyses using first-principles calculations and FEM/FEA tools, with sound judgment on the level of analysis appropriate to the problem.
Experience working across disciplines to integrate mechanical hardware with adjacent systems.
Experience with tolerance analysis, stack-up management, GD&T, interface control, and assembly alignment in tightly constrained hardware environments.
Strong understanding of manufacturing processes and how design decisions affect producibility, cost, quality, schedule, assembly, and inspection.
Ability to operate with ownership in a fast-paced, cross-functional hardware development environment.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, especially across design, analysis, manufacturing, and integration boundaries.
Direct experience designing aerospace vehicle hardware, propulsion support hardware, fluid system hardware, avionics mechanical packaging, or other highly integrated electromechanical or mechanical systems.
Experience with routed systems and hardware such as pneumatic lines, tubes, fittings, valves, manifolds, brackets, actuator mounts, reservoirs, and pressure-containing assemblies.
Hands-on experience with machining, sheet metal, welded assemblies, bent tube design, machined manifolds, additive manufacturing, composites, or other relevant aerospace fabrication methods.
Familiarity with rapid design-build-test hardware development environments.
Must hold a current P.Eng License, in good standing.
