- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
- 1+ years of experience in structural analysis, verification, and testing for aerospace or similarly demanding applications
- Proficiency with FEA tools (ANSYS, NASTRAN, Abaqus, or similar) and 3D CAD software (NX, SolidWorks, or equivalent)
- Hands-on experience designing and building test fixtures and support equipment for structural and thermal testing
- Strong understanding of metallic and composite materials, joining methods, and spaceflight hardware test requirements
- Experience with designing for reusability (design-life, thermal fatigue, and load cycles)
