This system doesn't just see what something looks like; it understands everything from a single pixel. We call this Superintelligent Vision.\nOur team has delivered technologies to Mars for NASA/JPL, designed advanced sensors for U.S. Defense, and frontier artificial intelligence systems. We are now building the next generation of space- and airborne-based sensing systems.\nAbout the Role\nMatter is hiring a Structural Analyst to evaluate and improve the structural performance of sensing payloads and supporting hardware for airborne and space environments. The role will work closely with mechanical, optomechanical, systems, and test engineers from early design through qualification.\nKey Responsibilities\nAnalyze and size structural hardware for advanced electro-optic and infrared sensors across space, air, and ground platforms, accounting for loading, material selection, strength and stability margins, and practical configuration and load-path recommendations.\n\nPerform strength, fatigue, fracture, classic hand-calculation, and finite-element analyses; develop finite-element models with appropriate requirements, processes, checks, and reports, from coarse system-level loads analyses through detailed stress analyses.\n\nPartner with designers and engineers to identify structural risks and recommend practical design changes, including materials, adhesives, and mounting approaches that support optical performance.\n\nDevelop test and instrumentation plans-including strain-gauge approaches-support data review, and correlate analysis with observed performance.\n\nDocument analysis assumptions, methods, finite-element model requirements, results, failure mechanisms, and design margins for technical reviews and program decisions.\n\nQualifications\nRequired\nBachelor’s degree in mechanical, aerospace, civil, or a related engineering discipline, with a strong foundation in structural mechanics and engineering analysis.\n\nExperience applying classic and finite-element analysis methods to real hardware, using FEA codes and associated pre- and post-processors, and interpreting results for design teams.\n\nAbility to communicate assumptions, uncertainty, technical results, and design implications clearly.\n\nCollaborative, multitasking approach to working across mechanical, systems, manufacturing, and test functions.\n\nPreferred\nExperience with aerospace materials and manufacturing, precision instrumentation, optical payloads, or other high-performance hardware.\n\nExperience correlating analytical models with environmental or qualification test data, including structures with metal and composite elements and bonded or bolted joints.\n\nFamiliarity with lightweight structures, dynamic environments, tight alignment requirements, GD&T, and failure mechanisms in metals and composites including instability and fatigue.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nStructural risks and margins are understood early enough to guide design decisions.\n\nAnalyses are traceable, reviewable, and aligned with test and qualification plans.\n\nThe team enters integration and test with confidence in the structural design and its operating limits.\n\nLocation\nThis role is based in El Segundo, CA, and requires onsite work.\nITAR Requirements\nTo comply with U.S. export regulations, applicants must be one of the following:\nA U.S. citizen or national\n\nA lawful permanent resident (green card holder)\n\nEligible to obtain required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State\n\nEmployee Offerings and Benefits\nAt Matter, we believe in rewarding high performance and providing the support you need to thrive. Our compensation and benefits package includes:\nCompetitive compensation based on experience\n\nEarly-stage equity package\n\n100% employer-paid health, dental, and vision coverage\n\nOpportunity to work on novel sensing, data, and AI systems with real-world deployment paths to the largest industries in the world\n\nMatter Intelligence is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds who can raise the ambition and performance of the team.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4326,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Machine Vision & 3D Cameras"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-24T01:27:17Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 3","filings_12m":3,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":162500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-12T07:36:15+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":11,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.401,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":60,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-14T05:58:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/matter-intelligence-structural-analyst","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/matter-intelligence-structural-analyst.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-14T07:00:13Z","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":11405,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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":2179048},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2179048"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmatter-intelligence-structural-analyst"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"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%2Fmatter-intelligence-structural-analyst"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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%2Fmatter-intelligence-structural-analyst"},{"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/matter-intelligence-structural-analyst\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmatter-intelligence-structural-analyst"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3190434}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"matter.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3190434},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
