Zusammenfassung

Ursa Major Technologies in Colorado is seeking a Senior Structural Analyst to ensure the performance and reliability of our solid rocket motor products. You will conduct high-fidelity FEA, collaborate with design, manufacturing, and test teams, and mentor junior engineers as the team grows.

Responsibilities include thermal-structural analyses, data-driven design recommendations, model validation using ANSYS/Abaqus/NASTRAN, and contributing to safety-critical programs in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor's degree required in a relevant field.
• 6+ years of aerospace structural analysis experience.
• Proficiency with FEA tools and data interpretation.
• Experience with high-temperature materials is a plus.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, safety-critical environment.

Aufgaben

• Conduct FEA for structural integrity, thermal performance, and dynamic behavior of solid rocket motor components.
• Perform coupled thermal-stress analyses to assess material response under extreme conditions.
• Support design iterations by providing data-driven recommendations for component geometry, material selection, and thermal protection systems.
• Develop and validate analytical models using industry-standard software (e.g., ANSYS, Abaqus, NASTRAN).
• Evaluate test data and correlate analytical models with physical testing results.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to develop company-wide processes, models, and tools that meet requirements and comply with structural standards.
• Collaborate with the manufacturing team to assess nonconforming hardware for development and flight components and provide recommended dispositions and repairs.
• Work with manufacturing teams to ensure design feasibility and support process optimization.
• Prepare technical reports, presentations, and documentation for internal and external stakeholders.
• Participate in design reviews, failure investigations, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Mentor and coach analysis engineers, helping to build organizational capability in structural analysis, multi‑physics analysis, and engineering best practices
