Job description
Lead Mechanical Analyst - Aircraft Loads & Propulsion
Hybrid, LA | Up to $250k + strong benefits package
A well-funded aviation technology start-up with a substantial commercial pipeline is scaling its lean engineering team and looking for a high-calibre Mechanical Analyst who can become a workhorse on a critical aircraft programme. You will take ownership of structural and flight-loads analysis across the propulsion and airframe interfaces.
The immediate work is unusually varied: a complex propshaft, engine and electric-machine rotating assembly; air-injection ducting and heat-exchanger hardware, with potential thermal analysis.
You will be:
Take analysis ownership across these hardware packages, from first-principles calculations and NASTRAN models through to dynamic, vibration, fatigue and flight-loads assessments.
Turn complex analysis into clear, certification-ready stress substantiation for FAA / DER review.
Work directly with propulsion, integration and structures engineers to resolve design and loads issues as the programme develops.
You must have:
Strong aircraft structural or mechanical analysis experience, including flight loads, hand calculations and static / dynamic FEA.
Practical NASTRAN capability, ideally alongside FEMAP, Patran or similar tools.
Experience supporting FAA certification or STC-level structural substantiation across metallic and composite hardware.
Bonus if you have experience around rotating machinery, engines, drivetrains, nacelles, ducting, heat exchangers or thermal-management systems.
This is a key technical seat for someone who wants to own complex mechanical analysis across a green aircraft programme, not just analyse individual components in isolation.
