Full Job Description

Overview Energy is a mission-driven team committed to delivering Space Solar Energy to the world. We operate at the intersection of space infrastructure and energy abundance, providing continuous baseload power 24/7 - without seasonality or the need for batteries. Headquartered in the Northern Virginia / Washington, DC area and backed by world-class investors, we are advancing the next generation of clean energy technology.

The Role

Overview Energy's Structures Engineer leads the design, structural analysis, testing, and manufacturing of spacecraft structural systems from concept through integration and flight. The role blends hands-on engineering with technical leadership, driving the creation and implementation of structural assemblies, components, and integrated systems. The ideal candidate brings proven expertise in spacecraft structures including both analytical and hands-on capabilities, and thrives in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment.

Key Responsibilities

Lead end-to-end development, analysis, prototyping, and integration of structural systems and spacecraft components for advanced space systems, collaborating closely within a cross-functional engineering team
Perform comprehensive structural analysis of spacecraft and platform components, including composites and metallic structures, using advanced analytical methods and industry-standard software (NX Nastran, FEA tools)
Develop, refine, and validate finite element models to assess structural performance under static, dynamic, thermal, and acoustic loads; perform trade studies and mass optimization analyses
Develop allowables and assess structural margins for bolted and bonded joints
Design and model parts, assemblies, and components in CAD software (NX), ensuring manufacturability, ease of assembly, and complete product definition including drawings, GD&T specifications, and test procedures
Apply design-for-manufacturing (DFM) principles and rapid prototyping techniques to optimize spacecraft structural designs for simplicity, reduced cost, and efficient production
Lead and support structural test campaigns including design, execution, data processing, and validation, documenting results and lessons learned

Required Qualifications & Experience

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Structural Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience in a mechanical/aerospace engineering role
Minimum of 5–7 years of progressive experience in mechanical design, analysis, and testing
Strong proficiency with 3D CAD software (NX preferred) and advanced FEA tools (NX Nastran or equivalent)
Experience in spacecraft-level structural test campaign design, execution, data processing, and validation
Solid understanding of GD&T, design-for-manufacturing (DFM) principles, and mechanical design best practices
Strong understanding of dynamic mechanical system design, analysis, and failure modes (modal, random vibration, buckling, thermoelastic analysis)
Demonstrated experience with structural analysis of both metallic and composite structures (laminate design, joint design, materials characterization)
Experience with rapid prototyping and hands-on mechanical assembly
Proven ability to own and deliver complex structural systems from concept through final implementation
U.S. citizenship required

Preferred Skills & Experience

Experience with satellite or spacecraft primary and secondary structures in flight programs
Familiarity with composite manufacturing processes and design-to-cost approaches for space hardware
Experience with thermal-structural analysis and distortion modeling

Benefits

We take care of our people. In addition to competitive salary and equity, Overview Energy offers comprehensive medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance coverage, a health and wellness stipend, 4 weeks paid time off, 2 weeks sick leave, parental leave, and 401(k) matching. Benefits are subject to change at the Company's discretion.

ITAR Requirements

This position is subject to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Candidates must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

Equal Opportunity Employer

Overview Energy is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Employment decisions are based on merit, competence, and qualifications, without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, ethnicity, veteran status, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, or any other legally protected status. If you require a reasonable accommodation during the application process, please contact us at [email protected].
