Position summary:


The Structural Analyst will work as part of a small, collaborative team of engineers and technicians to support mechanical design efforts, primarily for defense and space applications. This role involves analyzing launch, landing, and maneuvering loads, pressure containment, and thermal-mechanical stresses. Projects range from early-phase trade studies to detailed, system-level dynamic analyses. The Structural Analyst will also contribute to the development of emerging thermal technologies and collaborate closely with product development and manufacturing teams to transition designs from concept to prototype and production.


Responsibilities Include:

  • Performing mechanical design and structural analyses—both static and dynamic—at the component, subsystem, and system level for advanced spacecraft applications
  • Providing design recommendations based on analysis outputs that align with product manufacturability requirements
  • Developing comprehensive test plans and supporting test execution and data interpretation
  • Reviewing, preparing and releasing technical documentation with a focus on accuracy, clarity and completeness
  • Evaluating the impact of design or scope changes on cost, schedule, and technical performance, and communicating those impacts proactively
  • Collaborating effectively with cross-functional and multi-location teams, including engineers, technicians, and manufacturing personnel
  • Managing project schedules and budgets to ensure timely and cost-effective execution of program objectives
  • Maintaining regular communication with customers to provide updates, address technical concerns, and align on program goals
