Requirements

Candidates must possess a B.S. in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering and have at least 5 years of structural engineering experience. A minimum of 3 years of experience with FEA (ANSYS preferred) and CAD (NX preferred), including large assembly management, is required. Proficiency in hand calculations and first-principles analysis, familiarity with fatigue analysis methods, and strong communication, collaboration, and team-building skills are essential. Eligibility to work on ITAR-restricted programs as a U.S. Person is also necessary. Experience with design for manufacturing, loads development, materials, structural joints, damage tolerance, creating engineering standards, multi-stage rockets/aircraft/spacecraft, flight qualification, structural testing, TeamCenter PLM, Jira, and Confluence are considered differentiating factors.

Responsibilities

The Senior Structures Engineer will lead structural development for aerospace vehicles from concept to completion, including structural design and analysis across various vehicle types and hardware. Responsibilities include performing fatigue, buckling, stability, and strength assessments using hand calculations and FEA, owning CAD models in NX, and defining loads in coordination with other engineering teams. The role also involves supporting structural test campaigns, contributing to flight qualification plans, developing internal processes and standards, and utilizing TeamCenter, Jira, and Confluence for configuration control and collaboration. Strong interpersonal and conflict resolution skills are crucial for contributing to a collaborative team culture.
