Key skills for this role
Canada Rocket Company is building a sovereign launch capability for Canada. We're looking for a structure analyst who is equally proficient in performing first order calculations as they are in running FEA, or developing their own analysis code. You will work across design, analysis, development, operation, and reuse scenarios in a fast-moving development environment. This is a highly technical role for someone who wants to be close to details, make consequential design decisions, and help establish the propulsion and stage fluids systems of an orbital launch vehicle program from the ground up.

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

Canada Rocket Company is developing Canada's first medium-lift launch vehicle.
We are a team of veterans from SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, ArianeGroup, Pangea Propulsion, Tesla, MDA, and more, bringing over a century of combined launch and space systems experience back to Canada.
Our mission is to provide reliable, independent access to space for Canada and its allies in a rapidly expanding global market.
Our approach is defined by pragmatic engineering:
We utilize a single 700 kN engine that scales from light- to medium-lift via engine clustering.
We lean on simple, proven technologies to reach orbit faster, avoiding the pitfalls of complex or novel designs.
We test early and often, catching problems on the bench instead of at the pad.
Backed by over $20M in funding secured within our first four months, including the largest all-Canadian seed round in the sector and an $8.3M Department of National Defence grant, we are moving with the speed and institutional backing required to meet Canada’s orbital launch needs.
Private Canadian aerospace company developing reusable methalox rockets for sovereign light- and medium-lift orbital launch.
