Senior Propulsion Structural Analyst (Remote)

EVONA; United States; Remote; USD 96,000 - 165,000; Full time

Job summary

EVONA is seeking a Contract Structural Analyst — Propulsion to own the analysis behind solid rocket motor and liquid propulsion hardware on multiple propulsion programs. Fully remote (US-based) with an open hourly rate.

You'll run structural analyses, build FEA models, and defend margins of safety, from early design trades through test correlation, delivering clear reports in design reviews. This is a senior, self-directed role requiring deep expertise in thermal-structural coupling and dynamic

Qualifications

• 10+ years of structural analysis experience.
• Structural analysis of solid rocket motor, solid propellant or rocket engine propulsion hardware, or liquid propulsion hardware.
• Strong FEA (ANSYS, Abaqus or NASTRAN) alongside classical hand calcs.
• Thermal-structural and dynamic analysis experience.
• Self-directed, comfortable owning analysis with minimal oversight.
• Clear communication in design reviews and written reports.
• US-based and eligible to work on ITAR-controlled programs.

Responsibilities

• Run structural analysis on propulsion hardware: motor cases, nozzles, closures, insulation and structures.
• Build and run FEA models, backed by hand calcs, to set and defend margins of safety.
• Carry out coupled thermal-structural analysis for high-temperature environments.
• Run dynamic analyses including modal, random vibration and shock.
• Perform fatigue and fracture mechanics assessments.
• Write analysis reports and present results in design reviews.
• Support test, correlate models to test data and feed findings back into design.
