• You are managing the challenge to define the opto-mechanical architecture of laser communication terminals that connect air and space vehicles with each other as well as ground stations. 
• You solve structural mechanics problems, including calculation of dynamic, static and shock loads using analysis and test.
• You build Finite-Element-Models and perform dynamic, static analyses. 
• You use Structural Optimization as a tool to meet challenging cost, weight, and size constraints.  
• You analyze, judge, and drive the thermoelastic behavior of the laser terminals.
• You break-down of top-level performance requirements to the subsystems in cooperation with Systems Engineering, to balance the structural, thermal, and optical requirements. 
• You provide expertise and guidance for the mechanical design team in the development and verification process.
• You implement and improve best practices within the engineering development.
• You perform conceptual studies to define how the next terminal should look like from structural point of view.

• You have successfully completed your studies in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering or similar. 
• You have at least 3-5 years of experience in Structural Engineering, ideally for Space products.
• You have in depth knowledge in relevant disciplines such as structural (Statics and Dynamics) and numerical mechanics, thermodynamics, and optics.
• You are an expert in Finite Element Analysis. 
• You have knowledge about the Nastran solver for the use of structural simulations; experience with Simcenter 3D is a plus, experience with topology optimization is a plus. 
• You are a results-oriented, reliable, and pro-active person, that works responsibly and independently. 
• You are an absolute team player with excellent communication skills, and you previously worked in project teams.
• You communicate well in English, German knowledge is a plus.
