What is the difference between Freelance Structural Analysis Engineer vs Structural Engineer?

AspectFreelance Structural Analysis EngineerStructural Engineer
CredentialsEngineering degree, certifications may varyEngineering degree, professional licensure often required
Work EnvironmentIndependent, project-based, remote or on-siteTypically employed by firms or organizations, on-site or office-based
Industry UsageFreelance basis for specialized analysis tasksDesign, planning, and overseeing structural projects

Freelance Structural Analysis Engineers focus on providing specialized structural analysis services independently, often working on specific projects remotely. Structural Engineers usually work within firms or organizations, handling broader design and project management tasks. Both roles require engineering credentials, but freelance roles emphasize flexibility and niche expertise, while traditional roles involve ongoing employment and broader responsibilities.

ABOUT FIREFLY AEROSPACE

Firefly Aerospace is a space and defense technology company on a mission to reliably and repeatedly launch, land, and operate space systems from Earth to the Moon and beyond. As the partner of choice for critical space missions, Firefly is the first commercial company to launch a satellite to orbit with 24-hour notice and the first company to achieve a successful Moon landing. Headquartered in north Austin, Texas, Firefly is looking for passionate, hardworking innovators to join our team and help fuel our successful trajectory into space.

SUMMARY

As a Analysis Engineer on the Mechanical Engineering Team, you will be responsible for analysis of various structures across multiple projects including spacecraft, launch vehicle structures, and launch and test ground support equipment. You will use your knowledge of structural analysis to improve previous designs and influence new designs by minimizing weight and at the same time ensuring conformance to program and customer strength and stability requirements. You will leverage testing of hardware to correlate and validate analysis models.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Collaborate with design, manufacturing, and test engineering to develop hardware throughout the design lifecycle
  • Perform structural analyses by classical hand calculation and finite element analysis for composites and metals.
  • Perform linear and non-linear structural analysis, eigenvalue buckling analysis, non-linear buckling analysis, and modal finite element analysis using ANSYS and NX Nastran.
  • Develop test requirements to ensure adequate data for analysis correlation.
  • Validate finite element analysis with hand calculations and test data.
  • Review internal and external analyses.
  • Work with responsible and systems engineers to define required material properties and part modifications to meet structural requirements.
  • Write strength and stability margins to required program safety factors.

QUALIFICATIONS

Required

  • Master’s Degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or civil engineering and 2+ years of relevant experience, or 5+ years with a Bachelor’s Degree.
  • Proficient with analytical simulation software and hand calculations for structural analysis.
  • Familiarity with aerospace standard analysis methods.
  • Ability to effectively work in a multi-discipline team and provide technical guidance and insight.
  • Exceptional comprehension of first principles related to structures and materials.

Firefly offers outstanding benefits for our employees, including generous health, dental and vision plans with low plan deductibles, parental leave, educational reimbursement, short term disability, and flexible PTO options.
