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
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.
