Structures Engineer

Role

Sorian Aerospace is building a high-performance fighter-class jet for adversary air (Red Air) missions and advanced pilot training. The goal : deliver the maneuverability, integrated electronic warfare, BVR targeting, autonomous flight, CCA interoperability, and flight experience of front-line fighters at a fraction of the cost. As a Structures Engineer, your job is to design and deliver the physical structure of the aircraft from the outer mold line to the ribs, spars, and bulkheads that hold it all together. Youll model components in CAD, analyze them using FEA, and work closely with manufacturing to ensure your parts can be built, assembled, and tested. This is a high-ownership, hands-on role. Youll see your work fly not just live in a model.

Responsibilities

• Design primary and secondary aircraft structure using metallics and composites
• Run structural analyses to validate stiffness, strength, and margins
• Collaborate with manufacturing to ensure parts are buildable and fixturable
• Review test data, iterate on designs, and debug failure modes
• Own your parts through design, test, and integration no handoffs
