• Lead technical analysis from early design through to flight testing
• Have real ownership over structural decisions that impact mission success
• Join a team that values curiosity, autonomy, and hands‑on innovation

• Leading structural analysis of enclosures, subassemblies, and integrated systems
• Building advanced FEMs to simulate stress, fatigue, and thermal performance (MIL‑STD‑810, DO‑160)
• Working closely with design teams to optimize structural safety, reliability, and performance
• Conducting trade studies and sensitivity analyses to assess risks
• Guiding and mentoring junior engineers on best practices and technical development
• Supporting structural model validation and flight test activities

• 4+ years’ experience in structural analysis for aerospace or high‑performance hardware
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
• Strong experience with Ansys, Simcenter, or Femap
• Deep understanding of structural mechanics, dynamics, and materials
