Senior Structural Engineer

Structural Engineer 3 | Weapon Systems + Ground Vehicles If you're a Structural Engineer who can still do the math without hiding behind FEA software, I want to talk to you. I'm working on a Structural Engineer 3 opportunity supporting advanced weapon systems, ground vehicles, mission payloads, and test platforms. This is not a role where you simply build a model and hit "run."You'll be doing real structural analysis across the product lifecycle, including: Static + dynamic analysis Classical analysis + hand calculations Steel and aluminum structures Bolted joints + weld analysis Composite structures Shock + vibration Loads and requirements developmentFEA and engineering simulation Structural testing Substantiation reports The big one: HAND CALCULATIONS ARE REQUIRED.You need to be comfortable looking at a structural problem, understanding the fundamentals, and working through the math yourself before relying on FEA.Experience with FEMAP, NASTRAN, MSC Patran, or LS-DYNA is valuable. Defense, aerospace, automotive, maritime, or heavy equipment experience can all translate well. What makes this role interesting? You'll be working with a multidisciplinary engineering team on complex hardware where structural analysis directly impacts the design. The environment also favors engineers who know how to figure things out. You won't always have every tool, process, or answer handed to you.
