Structural Analyst / Structural Engineer

Full-time

Busek

Senior Structural Analyst / Structural Engineer
Busek Co. Inc. – Natick, MA
Busek is seeking a Senior Structural Analyst / Structural Engineer to join our Design & Analysis Team supporting the development of advanced spacecraft propulsion systems and aerospace hardware. This is one of the most critical engineering needs within the organization as we continue to expand internally and reduce reliance on outsourced structural analysis work.
This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys owning analyses end-to-end, working closely with hardware teams, and solving complex aerospace structural challenges in a fast-paced R&D environment.
The selected candidate will perform and lead structural analyses for flight and development hardware using finite element methods (FEM). Analyses include modal, random vibration, sine, and shock environments typically encountered in aerospace applications. Most analyses are performed using ANSYS, though strong fundamentals and relevant aerospace structural experience are valued above specific software expertise.
This position works closely with design engineering, systems engineering, and test engineering to support hardware development, qualification testing, requirements verification, and anomaly resolution.
Responsibilities
Structural Analysis & Modeling
Independently perform structural analyses including:
Modal analysis
Random vibration analysis
Sine vibration analysis
Shock analysis
Develop and evaluate component-level and system-level finite element models (FEMs)
Import and clean CAD geometry for analysis
Define boundary conditions, interfaces, and load cases
Select appropriate element types and modeling approaches
Apply meshing best practices including convergence studies and mesh quality verification
Interpret, validate, and communicate analysis results
Perform classical hand calculations to validate FEM assumptions and results
Analyze aerospace hardware including brackets, fittings, interconnects, and structural subassemblies
Evaluate structural margins, failure modes, and material behavior
Model and assess bolted joints and extract bolt forces from FEM results
Cross-Functional Engineering Support
Collaborate closely with design engineers to reduce structural risk early in the design process
Support test engineering efforts including:
Accelerometer placement recommendations
Interpretation of vibration spectra and gRMS profiles
Correlation of test and analytical data
Failure investigations and root cause analysis
Work with systems engineering to translate requirements into structural analysis inputs and compliance verification
Technical Communication
Prepare clear and concise technical reports for:
Internal design reviews
Customer deliverables
Qualification and certification documentation
Present assumptions, methodologies, and conclusions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Technical Leadership
Provide informal mentoring and technical guidance to junior engineers
Contribute to continuous improvement of modeling methods, analysis standards, and engineering processes
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
Approximately 6+ years of relevant structural analysis experience
Strong understanding of finite element methods and structural dynamics
Experience performing vibration and shock analyses in aerospace or similar high-reliability environments
Experience developing FEM models and interpreting structural results
Strong understanding of materials, structural behavior, and mechanical failure modes
Ability to work independently and own analyses from start to finish
Strong written and verbal communication skills
U.S. Citizenship required
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with:
ANSYS Workbench
ANSYS Mechanical
SpaceClaim
APDL
Familiarity with:
Steinberg vibration analysis methods
Thermal analysis
Aerospace qualification testing
Experience with 1D, 2D, and 3D element modeling techniques
Mechanical design experience or close integration with hardware design teams
Why Join Busek?
Busek develops advanced propulsion and aerospace technologies for commercial, civil, and government space missions. Our hardware supports cutting-edge spacecraft and satellite programs, offering engineers the opportunity to work on highly technical, first-of-a-kind systems in a collaborative and mission-driven environment.
U.S. Citizenship Requirement
Due to the nature of work performed under U.S. government contracts and applicable security and contractual requirements, this position is limited to U.S. citizens.
