Structural Analysis Engineer

Location: Jupiter FL

Salary Range: $85,000 – $115,000 (commensurate with experience and qualifications)

Job Summary: Cyient, Inc. is seeking a highly skilled Aerospace Structural Analysis Engineer to perform advanced structural analyses of aircraft components and assemblies. The ideal candidate will apply state-of-the-art simulation tools and engineering judgment to ensure structural integrity, performance, and compliance with aerospace industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Key Responsibilities: Perform detailed static, fatigue, damage tolerance, and dynamic analyses of metallic and composite aerospace structures using advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools, primarily ANSYS.Develop, refine, and correlate high-fidelity FEA models, including complex geometry meshing, boundary condition definition, and material characterization. Interpret and validate analytical results, identify critical structural locations, and recommend design optimizations to improve durability, weight efficiency, and manufacturability. Prepare comprehensive technical reports and documentation outlining analysis methodologies, results, and conclusions in accordance with applicable aerospace standards. Collaborate cross-functionally with design engineering, materials, manufacturing, and stress teams to support data-driven design decisions. Participate in formal design and program reviews, providing structural analysis expertise throughout all phases of the product lifecycle. Support continuous improvement initiatives through the development and implementation of new analytical methods, tools, and automation scripts. Diagnose and resolve complex structural challenges while meeting program schedules, quality requirements, and safety standards.

Qualifications: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related discipline. Minimum of 5 years of experience performing structural analysis for aerospace systems or components. Proficiency with FEA software such as ANSYS (preferred), NASTRAN, Patran, or ABAQUS.Strong understanding of structural mechanics, including elasticity, plasticity, fatigue, fracture mechanics, and damage tolerance. Experience performing classical hand calculations and traditional stress analysis to support and validate numerical results. Familiarity with aerospace materials, including composites, aluminum alloys, and titanium alloys, and their structural behavior. Excellent technical communication, documentation, and presentation skills. Proven ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary engineering environment. U.S. Citizenship required (subject to ITAR regulations).
