Senior Structural Analysis Engineer

About Pangea Propulsion: We are a company dedicated to developing advanced propulsion systems for the space industry based on three key principles: high efficiency, sustainability, and reusability. We are revolutionizing the space industry with ground-breaking innovations that allow us to offer the best performance to cost propulsion systems. Our goal is to be the propulsion provider for the next generation of spacecraft, which is essential to meet demands and compete in the booming space market of the next decade. We are a passionate, multicultural, and multidisciplinary team pushing the boundaries of what is possible in space propulsion technology. We have already made history by successfully testing the world's first 3D-printed Methalox Aerospike engine, marking a significant milestone for the space industry. We are looking for talented professionals to join our international teams in Barcelona and Toulouse. We want to be a key player in improving diversity in the Aerospace sector as, in Pangea, we believe that diversity (gender, age, race, sexual orientation, beliefs, disability, culture, etc.) is a key to success. Within Pangea, everyone can grow with the same opportunities. We encourage you to apply. Individually we are different, but together we are an amazing team! We are looking for a Structural Analysis Engineer in Toulouse. About the role: As a Structural Analysis Engineer, you will be a key technical contributor within Pangea Propulsion’s Structural Analysis team, operating with autonomy on thermomechanical, dynamic, and nonlinear structural problems. You will own analysis campaigns end-to-end: from problem framing, modelling, validation, to results interpretation and design recommendations - directly influencing the architecture, performance, and robustness of the next generation of propulsion systems. Within the team, you will serve as a technical reference point for advanced structural analysis methods , help shape internal best practices, and elevate the quality of analyses across projects. A core part of your role will be coaching and guiding junior and consolidated analysts, transferring knowledge, reviewing technical work, and contributing to a high-performance engineering culture. In this position, you will also take ownership of complex structural analysis problems and contribute to defining modelling strategies and analysis standards for the team. Familiarity with rocket propulsion hardware - or strong motivation to learn - will allow you to make an immediate impact. Key responsibilities · Perform and lead FEA campaigns including static, modal, thermo-mechanical, dynamic and transient analyses, dealing efficiently with non-linear problems (contacts, plasticity, large deformation etc.) · Plan, build, verify, document and maintain high-fidelity and robust FE models with traceability to loads, material properties, requirements, and assumptions. · Provide clear, high-impact design feedback to mechanical design and propulsion tea
