Structural Stress Engineer information
What does a structural stress engineer do?
A Structural Stress Engineer analyzes the strength and stability of structures to ensure they can withstand various loads and stresses during operation. They use engineering principles, mathematical models, and software simulations to evaluate how materials and components respond to forces such as weight, pressure, vibration, and temperature changes. Their work is crucial in industries like aerospace, civil engineering, and automotive manufacturing to ensure safety, compliance, and performance of structures. Structural Stress Engineers often collaborate with design teams to suggest improvements or modifications for greater reliability and efficiency.
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a structural stress engineer, and why are they important?
To thrive as a Structural Stress Engineer, you need a solid background in structural analysis, materials science, and engineering principles, typically supported by a degree in mechanical, civil, or aerospace engineering. Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) software such as ANSYS or NASTRAN, along with knowledge of relevant industry codes and certifications, is commonly required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly are essential soft skills. These competencies ensure robust, safe, and efficient structural designs that meet stringent performance and regulatory standards.
What are some common challenges structural stress engineers face when working on multidisciplinary projects?
Structural Stress Engineers often collaborate closely with design, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure that components meet safety and performance standards. A key challenge is balancing the need for structural integrity with design constraints such as weight reduction and manufacturability. This often involves iterative analysis, clear communication across disciplines, and adapting to evolving project requirements. Successful engineers are proactive in resolving discrepancies between analysis results and practical design considerations, and they frequently employ advanced simulation tools to predict and mitigate potential issues.

Job description
About this role
#J-18808-LjbffrWe are looking for a lead engineer to own the largest structures on the aircraft. This is the person responsible for major airframe sections: wing, fuselage, and empennage. You will set the design approach for large composite primary structure, make the calls on architecture and joints, and lead other structures engineers to first flight.
This is a hands‑on technical leadership role. You will spend most of your time designing and reviewing structure, not managing. You will also be the senior voice in trades between weight, cost, schedule, and producibility on parts that are measured in meters, not inches.
What you will do- Own the design of major airframe structure: wing box, fuselage sections, empennage, and large bonded assemblies
- Define the structural architecture for large composite parts, including laminate strategy, core usage, joint philosophy, and load paths
- Lead and mentor a team of structures design engineers, setting standards for models, drawings, and design reviews
- Drive trades on part count, tooling approach, and assembly sequence with manufacturing and program leadership
- Solve the problems unique to big parts: dimensional control over large spans, thermal growth in cure, handling and fixturing, and transport constraints
- Work daily with stress, M&P, and composites manufacturing to close margins and keep the build moving
- Own design maturity through PDR, CDR, first article, structural test, and first flight
- BS or MS in Mechanical, Aerospace, or a related engineering field
- 8+ years designing aircraft structure, with direct ownership of large composite primary structure such as wings, wing boxes, fuselage barrels or panels, or empennage
- Deep knowledge of composite design and manufacturing at scale: laminate design, large tool design implications, cure behavior, bonded and bolted joints
- Experience leading engineers through a full development cycle, from concept through structural test or flight Nice to have
- Experience on a clean-sheet aircraft development program
- Familiarity with prepreg, infusion, or out‑of‑autoclave processes for large parts
- Experience with FEA tools (Nastran, Abaqus, HyperMesh) or close partnership with stress teams
- Experience taking large structure through static and fatigue test
- Startup or small‑team experience where you owned major program scope
To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
Swarm Aero is an equal opportunity employer. We value diverse backgrounds and experiences and make employment decisions without regard to race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, or disability.
What We Offer- Meaningful equity in a high-growth defense technology company
- Competitive base salary commensurate with experience
- Medical, dental, vision, and 401k
- PTO and paid sick leave
- Monthly wellness stipend
- Daily catered lunch (office)
- Paid parental leave
- Direct impact on a critical national security mission
- A world-class team of engineers and operators solving genuinely hard problems
