TL;DR · Staff Structures Analysis Engineer

Staff Structures Analysis Engineer, Omen joins the Omen team to support the development of a hover-to-cruise autonomous air vehicle. This role involves performing static and dynamic structural analyses of composites and metallics using first principles, hand calculations, spreadsheets, scripts, and detailed FEA. The engineer will own FEM creation at global and subsystem levels, collaborate with hardware engineers on designs, document methodologies in technical reports, and support validation testing including instrumentation and data collection. They will also participate in flight testing by monitoring loads and dispositioning findings. Required skills include proficiency in ANSYS, Abaqus, or NASTRAN; CAD tools like NX or Solidworks; and Matlab or Python for automation. The role addresses the engineering challenges of a runway-independent Group 3 platform designed for defense and civilian domains requiring high durability and maneuverability.

What you'll do

  • Perform static and dynamic structural analyses of composites and metallics using first principles and FEA.
  • Develop and manage FEM models at both the global and subsystem levels.
  • Collaborate with hardware engineers to drive design improvements based on analytical results.
  • Document analysis methodologies and results in technical reports for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Conduct and support structural validation testing, including instrumentation, load requirements, and data correlation.
  • Participate in flight testing by setting limits, monitoring loads, and dispositioning inspection findings.
  • Ensure all designs comply with customer requirements, industry standards, and safety regulations.

What we're looking for

  • BS or higher degree in engineering or applied physics with a focus in structures.
  • Deep understanding of statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, and materials properties.
  • Experience in structural testing including static, buckling, cyclic, sensor selection, and data post-processing.
  • Proficiency in FEA software such as ANSYS, Abaqus, or NASTRAN for linear and non-linear analyses.
  • Experience with CAD tools like NX or Solidworks.
  • Proficiency in Matlab or Python for developing analytical models, data acquisition, and automation.
  • Ability to obtain and hold a U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
  • 12+ years of experience in a structures, dynamics, or loads related role is preferred.
