As of Sep 12, 2026, the average hourly pay for engine structural analysis engineer in the United States is $65.13, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $54.81 and $76.20 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What does an engine structural analysis engineer do?

An Engine Structural Analysis Engineer is responsible for evaluating and ensuring the structural integrity of engine components, typically in aerospace, automotive, or energy sectors. They use advanced engineering principles, computer simulations, and testing methods to analyze stresses, strains, and potential failure points in engine parts. Their work helps to optimize performance, increase safety, and extend the lifespan of engines by identifying areas for improvement and ensuring compliance with industry standards.

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

To thrive as an Engine Structural Analysis Engineer, you need a strong background in mechanical or aerospace engineering, with expertise in structural mechanics and finite element analysis (FEA). Familiarity with technical tools such as ANSYS, NASTRAN, and CAD software, as well as knowledge of industry standards and possibly a Professional Engineer (PE) license, is highly valuable. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial for collaborating with design teams and presenting technical findings. These skills ensure accurate design validation, structural integrity, and safety of engine components under demanding conditions.

What are some common challenges faced by engine structural analysis engineers in project teams?

Engine Structural Analysis Engineers often encounter challenges balancing tight project deadlines with the need for high-precision simulations and testing. They must effectively communicate technical findings to multidisciplinary teams, including design and manufacturing engineers, to ensure structural integrity while meeting performance goals. Adapting to evolving software tools and integrating feedback from rapid prototyping can also be demanding but ultimately strengthens problem-solving skills and collaboration.

Job description

Why Castelion, Why Now

Castelion is moving incredibly fast to develop and deliver advanced defense systems at a time when execution matters more than ever. We believe focus and technical excellence are decisive advantages - and we are building a team that can deliver real capability, not just concepts.

This is a rare opportunity to join at an early stage, where your work will directly shape critical systems, influence major technical decisions, and have immediate, real-world impact.

Structural Analysis Engineer

We're looking for a Structural Analysis Engineer to help design and validate next-generation hypersonic defense systems. You'll work in a fast-moving startup environment where analysis directly informs design decisions, hardware builds, and flight readiness. This role offers high ownership, close collaboration with design and test teams, and the opportunity to see your work rapidly turn into flying hardware.

Responsibilities
  • Perform structural analysis of aerospace components and assemblies under static, dynamic, thermal, and fatigue loading.
  • Use hand calculations and finite element models to support rapid design iteration.
  • Work closely with design engineers to influence geometry, materials, and load paths early in the design process.
  • Correlate analysis with test data and support structural testing and qualification efforts.
  • Exemplify technical excellence and be accountable for your work.
  • Communicate technical content in an efficient and effective manner to partner teams.
Basic Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong understanding of structural analysis, structural dynamics, and aerospace materials.
  • Experience with FEA tools such as Abaqus, NASTRAN, or similar solvers.
  • Comfortable working in ambiguous, rapidly evolving technical environments.
Preferred Skills and Experience
  • Master's degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering.
  • Experience with launch vehicles, spacecraft, aircraft, UAVs, or propulsion systems.
  • Knowledge of fatigue, fracture mechanics, buckling, or thermal-structural analysis.
  • Familiarity with aerospace standards and certification processes (e.g., FAA, NASA, MIL).
  • Scripting or programming experience (Python, MATLAB) to automate analysis workflows.
  • Experience supporting hardware testing or flight operations.
Other Duties

Please note this job description is not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties or responsibilities that are required of the employee for this job. Duties, responsibilities and activities may change at any time with or without notice.

Benefits And Perks

All full-time employees are granted meaningful long-term equity, sharing in the company's significant growth trajectory. We offer four (4) weeks of paid time off, ten (10) company-paid holidays, and comprehensive health benefits - including 100% employee-covered medical and strong dependent coverage, along with dental and vision plans. We also provide paid parental leave to support growing families, a $100 monthly fitness stipend to promote health and performance, and onsite EV charging for convenience. In addition, employees enjoy perks like catered meals, company-covered food during high-demand periods, and a fully stocked kitchen to stay fueled throughout the day.

While this position does not currently require a U.S governmentโ€‘issued security clearance, it may in the near future. Therefore, the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. governmentโ€‘issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
