This is an on-site position requiring your presence at our facility in Fort Worth, Texas, US . As a Lead Structural Engineer, you will be responsible for overseeing the structural integrity of complex defense platforms, from initial concept development through final production. Your duties will include leading teams of engineers in the design, analysis, and testing of structural components and assemblies, ensuring compliance with rigorous defense and aerospace standards. You will perform advanced structural analysis using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software such as NASTRAN or ABAQUS, interpret results, and develop innovative solutions to complex structural challenges. This involves conducting static, dynamic, fatigue, and thermal stress analyses to validate designs against performance requirements. You will also be responsible for developing and reviewing detailed engineering drawings, specifications, and technical documentation. Collaboration with interdisciplinary teams, including systems engineering, materials science, and manufacturing, will be essential to integrate structural design with overall system requirements. You will mentor junior engineers, provide technical guidance, and champion best practices in structural engineering. The ideal candidate will possess a Master's or Ph.D. in Structural or Mechanical Engineering, with a minimum of 10 years of relevant experience in the defense or aerospace industry. Demonstrated expertise in FEA tools, a deep understanding of structural mechanics, materials properties, and failure modes are mandatory. Experience with military specifications (e.g., MIL-STD) and aerospace certification processes is highly desirable. Exceptional leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills are paramount, as is the ability to manage multiple projects and guide technical teams effectively. This role requires a strategic mindset and a commitment to delivering high-quality, robust structural solutions for critical defense applications.
