Senior Structural Stress Analyst

Our Los Angeles-based global defence firm is looking for talented Structural Analysts to join a team working on complex, high-performance engineering challenges at the forefront of the defence sector.

• Utilize first principle methods and design tools to develop new aircraft products
• Own development of primary and secondary aircraft structural parts and assemblies (metallic and composite) from preliminary design through prototype manufacturing
• Perform complex modeling and finite element analysis at the detailed component level, major assembly level, and aircraft level (analysis simulations to include strength, buckling, damage tolerance, and delamination)
• Apply design for manufacturing concepts to create solutions that are cost effective and easy to manufacture at rate
• Conduct trade studies and perform design and analysis research of complex engineering concepts to determine an optimal solution for weight, performance, manufacturability, cost, and/or schedule

• 5+ years of experience in aerospace structures design, analysis, or related roles
• Proficiency in CAD software and experience with engineering data analysis
• Proven expertise in structural modeling and simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS, NASTRAN, or equivalent)
• Strong understanding of material properties, stress analysis, fatigue assessment, load paths, design practices, and hand calculations
• Strong technical knowledge in core engineering principles, fundamental mechanics of composite materials, design, analysis, testing, and fabrication
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
