Inc. - Natick, MA\nBusek 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.\nThis 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.\nThe 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.\nThis position works closely with design engineering, systems engineering, and test engineering to support hardware development, qualification testing, requirements verification, and anomaly resolution.\nResponsibilities\nStructural Analysis & Modeling\nIndependently perform structural analyses including: Modal analysis \nRandom vibration analysis \nSine vibration analysis \nShock analysis \n\nDevelop and evaluate component-level and system-level finite element models (FEMs) \nImport and clean CAD geometry for analysis \nDefine boundary conditions, interfaces, and load cases \nSelect appropriate element types and modeling approaches \nApply meshing best practices including convergence studies and mesh quality verification \nInterpret, validate, and communicate analysis results \nPerform classical hand calculations to validate FEM assumptions and results \nAnalyze aerospace hardware including brackets, fittings, interconnects, and structural subassemblies \nEvaluate structural margins, failure modes, and material behavior \nModel and assess bolted joints and extract bolt forces from FEM results \nCross-Functional Engineering SupportCollaborate closely with design engineers to reduce structural risk early in the design process \nSupport test engineering efforts including: Accelerometer placement recommendations \nInterpretation of vibration spectra and gRMS profiles \nCorrelation of test and analytical data \nFailure investigations and root cause analysis \n\nWork with systems engineering to translate requirements into structural analysis inputs and compliance verification \nTechnical CommunicationPrepare clear and concise technical reports for: Internal design reviews \nCustomer deliverables \nQualification and certification documentation \n\nPresent assumptions, methodologies, and conclusions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders \nTechnical LeadershipProvide informal mentoring and technical guidance to junior engineers \nContribute to continuous improvement of modeling methods, analysis standards, and engineering processes \nRequired QualificationsBachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field \nApproximately 6+ years of relevant structural analysis experience \nStrong understanding of finite element methods and structural dynamics \nExperience performing vibration and shock analyses in aerospace or similar high-reliability environments \nExperience developing FEM models and interpreting structural results \nStrong understanding of materials, structural behavior, and mechanical failure modes \nAbility to work independently and own analyses from start to finish \nStrong written and verbal communication skills \nU.S. Citizenship required \nPreferred QualificationsExperience with: ANSYS Workbench \nANSYS Mechanical \nSpaceClaim \nAPDL \n\nFamiliarity with: Steinberg vibration analysis methods \nThermal analysis \nAerospace qualification testing \n\nExperience with 1D, 2D, and 3D element modeling techniques \nMechanical design experience or close integration with hardware design teams \nWhy 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.\nU.S. Citizenship Requirement\nDue 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.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4622,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Ammunition"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-18T08:49:57Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/busek-structural-analyst-structural-engineer-busek","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/busek-structural-analyst-structural-engineer-busek.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-20T21:22:51Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":24829,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4389860},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4389860"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbusek-structural-analyst-structural-engineer-busek"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbusek-structural-analyst-structural-engineer-busek"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbusek-structural-analyst-structural-engineer-busek"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/busek-structural-analyst-structural-engineer-busek\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbusek-structural-analyst-structural-engineer-busek"}]}
