What is an aerospace structural engineer?

An Aerospace Structural Engineer designs, analyzes, and tests the structural components of aircraft and spacecraft to ensure they can withstand operational stresses. They use materials science and engineering principles to create lightweight yet strong structures. Their work involves simulations, stress analysis, and collaboration with other engineers to meet safety and performance standards.

What does an aerospace structural engineer do?

A typical day for an Aerospace Structural Engineer may include performing stress and fatigue analyses on aircraft components, collaborating with design teams to develop new structural concepts, and reviewing design modifications for compliance with safety standards. Engineers often use advanced computer modeling tools to simulate loads and material behaviors under various flight conditions. Regular meetings with manufacturing, quality assurance, and testing teams are common to address real-time issues and ensure smooth integration of structural components. The role also involves preparing technical reports and documentation to support regulatory approvals and internal reviews.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an aerospace structural engineer?

Aerospace Structural Engineers require a solid background in structural analysis, materials science, and engineering principles, typically supported by a bachelor's or master's degree in aerospace or mechanical engineering. Proficiency with finite element analysis (FEA) software such as ANSYS or NASTRAN, and familiarity with industry standards like FAA or EASA certification requirements, are crucial. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication abilities help engineers collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and present technical findings. These combined skills ensure the safe, efficient, and innovative design and validation of aerospace structures in a highly regulated industry.

Job description

Job Description Summary
Collaboration with multidisciplinary set of engineers to design and analyze mechanical components and systems for experimental Hypersonic, aero-thermal test rigs. To accomplish the given tasks, you must be proficient in developing mechanical designs using CAD and applying engineering principles to analyze the integrity and/or performance of the designed components and subsystems. You should have an excellent understanding of the engineering process, leading proof-of-concept ideas towards validated solutions. Communication and documentation are critical as you will often need to prepare slides (or other documents) to present to the team, whether it is to describe detailed designs or to discuss project progress.
Job Description
Roles and Responsibilities:
  • Execute the design, analysis and evaluation of assigned projects using sound engineering principles and adhering to business standards, practices, procedures and program / product requirements.
  • Cross functional knowledge of high-speed fluid dynamic, mechanical systems and thermal response and application to rapid development of prototype hypersonic propulsion systems
  • Develop mechanical systems from proof-of-concept to final manufacturable component using 3D CAD
  • Perform analyses ranging from classical textbook methods and 1D spreadsheet calculations to Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations to predict structural, thermal, and/or fluidic behavior of systems/components.
  • Prepare drawings to manufacture prototypes or components of an experimental setup
  • Document and communicate assumptions, inputs and proposed solutions to multidisciplinary teams for review
  • Support validation of new designs and technologies through benchtop or larger-scale testing
  • Prepare presentations and slides to communicate ideas and/or progress on projects
  • Ability to work well in with Integrated Product Teams to create and verify novel design solutions that meet established program objectives and requirements (technical, cost, schedule)

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering from an accredited college or university
  • Strong understanding of engineering principles and applying them to technical tasks
  • Demonstrated ability to analyze and resolve problems including stress analysis
  • Skilled in mechanical design using 3D CAD Siemens NX or equivalent
  • Skilled with Microsoft Office Suite, specifically Excel and PowerPoint
  • US citizen

Desired Characteristics
  • 5+ years design and analysis experience.
  • Master's Degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering from an accredited college or university
  • Ability to perform Thermal/Structural analysis via classical calculations and 1D tools
  • Skilled with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and performing simulations in ANSYS for thermal-structural analysis
  • Experience high speed aerospace propulsion industry
  • Understanding of compressible flow
  • Knowledge of prototype manufacturing development processes including Additive Manufacturing (AM), and DFM, DFA and DFAM techniques
  • Knowledge of GD&T and application to engineering drawings
  • Problem solver: analytical-minded, challenges existing processes, critical thinker
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Security Clearance

The base pay range for this position is $115,000 - $152,000 USD Annual.
