  • Create detailed designs to implement structural concepts and generate CAD models in NX for components, assemblies, and vehicle integration
  • Build finite element models to assess designs in detail and analyze structures to ensure they meet performance criteria
  • Apply first-order hand calculations and empirical formulas to iterate on designs rapidly
  • Validate designs by building development articles to test individual joints and design elements for strength and durability
  • Perform structural testing on subassemblies and full sections of the airframe
  • Partner with build engineers and technicians to refine designs and improve manufacturing processes
  • Support the assembly of your hardware in the factory, witness your designs being brought to life daily, and watch them take flight and make history

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline
  • 5+ years of experience with mechanical design and analysis (competition team or internship experience qualifies)

Preferred Skills and Experience:

  • Experience designing, analyzing, building, and testing high-performance mechanical systems
  • Experience working within interdisciplinary teams to develop innovative solutions to challenging problems
  • Experience with FEA or multiphysics simulation packages (e.g. NASTRAN, ABAQUS, ANSYS)
  • Experience designing and executing qualification testing
  • Strong understanding of mechanical first principles and structural analysis methodologies
  • Proficiency in selecting materials and manufacturing methods for mechanical components
  • Analytical/scientific programming experience (i.e. Python, Matlab, Excel)
  • Self-motivated with strong organizational, written, and oral communication skills
