About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Lead and perform structural analysis of Landing Systems components and assemblies while collaborating as part of an integrated team.
  • Independently develop structural analysis solutions when historical solutions are not available or applicable.
  • Analysis may include both classical methods and/or detailed Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
  • Conduct risk assessments to ensure the structural integrity of Landing Systems hardware, including static and fatigue failure modes (FMs).
  • Own and manage projects with minimal oversight while meeting deadlines, budgets, and maintaining high-quality standards.
  • Provide structural analysis support for New Product Introduction (NPIs), material non-conformances (MRBs), Part Deviation Addendums (PDAs), and field investigations.
  • Deliver analysis results and recommendations through detailed documentation, formal reports, and presentations for management and customers.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams and serve as the structures focal point in integrated product teams to provide design recommendations and solutions that meet technical, weight, and cost targets.
  • Assist in the creation of test plans and support validation and verification testing of components for structural, thermal, and dynamic performance and behavior.
  • Utilize test data to calibrate and improve analytical methods.
  • Develop and automate status reports through tools such as MATLAB, Python, or similar programming languages.
  • Drive the continuous improvement of analytical methods and processes to enhance productivity and cost-effectiveness.
  • Provide technical coaching and mentoring to entry-level structures engineers, fostering skill development and knowledge sharing.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 5 years prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years of experience
  • Demonstrated professional experience communicating in English (verbal and written).
  • U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are authorized to access information under this program/contract.
  • Proficiency in FEA tools such as ANSYS (APDL, LS-Dyna, or Workbench), Abaqus, PATRAN/NASTRAN.
  • Experience with CAD/CAM tools (e.g., NX CAD/CAM, Catia CAD/CAM).
  • Proficient in Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) per ANSI Y14.5.
  • Experience with linear and nonlinear structural analysis using FEA tools.
  • Familiarity with composite materials, adhesives, and advanced manufacturing processes for aerospace applications.
  • Demonstrated ability to perform multi-disciplinary trade studies to optimize structural design solutions.
  • Working knowledge of industry standards and best practices for airworthiness certification (e.g., FAA, EASA).
  • Prior experience with testing and validating structural components, including data analysis and correlation to simulation results.
  • Experience with automation of engineering processes and workflows using programming tools such as MATLAB, Python, or similar.
  • Leadership skills, with demonstrated ability to mentor and develop junior engineers.

Benefits

Comp & perks
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Three weeks of vacation for newly hired employees
  • Generous 401(k) plan that includes employer matching funds
  • Participation in the Employee Scholar Program (ESP)
  • Life insurance and disability coverage
