Job Description:

Mach Industries is seeking a Structural Engineer with a focus on conceptual and preliminary design efforts. In this role, you will drive the structural configuration and analysis of next-generation unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in support of advanced defense programs. This will be done through leading structural architecture trades, developing early-phase FEM models, defining load paths and material selections, and integrating structural considerations into multidisciplinary vehicle design decisions. Operating in a fast-paced environment, this role demands technical rigor, design leadership, and a broad understanding of aerospace engineering disciplines.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead the development of primary structural configuration for UAS concepts (load-path definition, material/section selection, structural envelope/layout)
  • Translate concept-level vehicle definitions into structural layouts and FEM models (mesh generation, boundary conditions, load cases, sizing)
  • Drive trade studies: structural mass vs performance, manufacturability, stiffness/strength/weight, material alternatives (metal, composite)
  • Provide input to downstream design phases: ensure layout decisions are traceable to concept-level choices and influence detail design
  • Mentor junior structural analysts/designers: review work, provide technical guidance, promote best practices in early-design FEM methods
  • Participate in interdisciplinary design reviews, present structural metrics, implications of layout decisions, risk/opportunity assessments

Requirements:

  • 5-10+ years of structural design/analysis experience in aerospace environments
  • Demonstrated ability to lead structural configuration and trades in early design phases
  • Experience building global FEM models for aircraft
  • Knowledge of structural mechanics fundamentals (load paths, stiffness/strength, structural layout, materials)
  • Experience working in a multidisciplinary early-design setting

Nice to have:

  • Proficiency with FEMAP and NASTRAN
  • Experience with developing deployed UAS platforms starting at the conceptual level
  • Experience in startup environments
What we offer:
  • healthcare
  • dental and vision plans
  • retirement savings
  • paid time off
  • continuing education, training, and career growth funds
  • equity participation
  • performance-based incentives
