Top Structural Engineer Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Design and qualify Aeon-R combustion device hardware from concept through flight. Perform hand calculations and FEM (static, thermal, fatigue, damage tolerance), high-fidelity modeling, test data analysis, model anchoring, and risk assessment. Interface with hardware designers and define test objectives to validate models and verify hardware performance.

Responsible for developing Structural Repair Manuals and creating repair plans to meet customer needs, ensuring compliance with regulations and safety standards.

Perform detailed structural and fatigue/damage-tolerance analyses using classical methods and FEA to verify structural integrity, support production and modifications, document compliance, create trade studies, integrate component-level models, resolve technical issues, and occasionally travel to support customers. Work onsite at Long Beach, CA full time.

Design and develop repair solutions for Boeing-owned nacelle structures (inlet, fan cowl, thrust reverser, core cowl, exhaust). Lead urgent and longer-term repair projects, create/modify SRMs, prepare AMOC/8100-9 documentation, collaborate with customers, suppliers, and internal teams, and improve repair methods and processes to support 24/7 customer operations.

Lead structural dynamics analysis for spacecraft and missile systems, performing simulations and validations, while collaborating with engineering teams.

Support satellite systems hardware through structural analysis, ensuring mechanical integrity and compliance with design requirements while leading development and testing efforts.

Perform and lead structural analyses for metallic and composite nacelle repairs, support customer service requests, develop repair methodologies, update SRMs, and coordinate with internal teams and suppliers for urgent and long-term solutions.

As a Staff Materials & Processes Engineer, you will research and select composite materials, develop testing plans, and collaborate across teams to ensure material performance and compliance for the Terran R rocket.

Perform FEA and hand calculations to evaluate and optimize UAV airframe structures. Conduct static, modal, fatigue, and vibration analyses, support structural test planning and data correlation, define loads and material properties, and produce structural analysis reports while collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams.

Perform finite element modeling and analyses (static, modal, fatigue, vibration) for UAV structures; validate results with hand calculations; support structural test planning, data analysis, load definition, and cross-functional design optimization to ensure lightweight, safe airframe performance.

Perform finite element modeling and structural analyses (static, modal, fatigue, vibration) for UAV airframes; validate FEA with hand calculations and test data; develop test plans, define load cases and material properties, optimize structures for weight and strength, and document technical recommendations.
