Job Summary

Cyient, Inc. is seeking a highly skilled Aerospace Structural Analysis Engineer to perform advanced structural analyses of aircraft components and assemblies. The ideal candidate will apply state-of-the-art simulation tools and engineering judgment to ensure structural integrity, performance, and compliance with aerospace industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform detailed static, fatigue, damage tolerance, and dynamic analyses of metallic and composite aerospace structures using advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools, primarily ANSYS
• Develop, refine, and correlate high-fidelity FEA models, including complex geometry meshing, boundary condition definition, and material characterization.
• Interpret and validate analytical results, identify critical structural locations, and recommend design optimizations to improve durability, weight efficiency, and manufacturability.
• Prepare comprehensive technical reports and documentation outlining analysis methodologies, results, and conclusions in accordance with applicable aerospace standards.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with design engineering, materials, manufacturing, and stress teams to support data-driven design decisions.
• Participate in formal design and program reviews, providing structural analysis expertise throughout all phases of the product lifecycle.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives through the development and implementation of new analytical methods, tools, and automation scripts.
• Diagnose and resolve complex structural challenges while meeting program schedules, quality requirements, and safety standards.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience performing structural analysis for aerospace systems or components.
• Proficiency with FEA software such as ANSYS (preferred), NASTRAN, Patran, or ABAQUS.
• Strong understanding of structural mechanics, including elasticity, plasticity, fatigue, fracture mechanics, and damage tolerance.
• Experience performing classical hand calculations and traditional stress analysis to support and validate numerical results.
• Familiarity with aerospace materials, including composites, aluminum alloys, and titanium alloys, and their structural behavior.
• Excellent technical communication, documentation, and presentation skills.
• Proven ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary engineering environment.
• U.S. Citizenship required (subject to ITAR regulations).
