Structures Analyst – Engineer I/Engineer II

About the role

Heart Aerospace is developing the ES-30, a regional hybrid-electric aircraft aimed at decarbonizing and democratizing aviation. The ES-30 can seat 30 passengers with a zero-emission electric range of 200 km and an extended hybrid range of 400 km. Targeting type certification by the end of the decade.

Your Mission

As a Structures Analyst, you will support the analysis and development of aircraft structural components for a next-generation hybrid-electric airplane. You will work closely with senior and staff engineers, contributing to structural analyses of composite and metallic airframe components, assisting with design trade studies, and growing your technical skills in a fast-paced aerospace environment.

This role is ideal for early-career engineers looking to deepen their experience in structural analysis, finite element modeling, and aircraft design.

Key responsibilities

• Perform structural analysis using classical methods and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools under guidance from senior engineers (e.g., Nastran, Patran, Abaqus, ANSYS).
• Built and modified FEA models for static, dynamic, and fatigue analyses.
• Analyze and interpret simulation results, helping to document findings and recommendations.
• Collaborate with design engineers to support structural sizing, weight optimization, and design iterations.
• Perform basic hand calculations to support preliminary designs and validate analysis results.
• Drive structural testing activities, including test setup assistance, data review, and correlation with analysis.
• Manage structural issues by investigating root-cause analysis efforts.
• Document analysis work clearly and maintain organized records of models, assumptions, and results.

Qualifications for a Structures Analyst I

• 0–2 years of professional experience, internships, or co-ops in structural analysis, aerospace engineering, or a related field.
• Exposure to composite and/or metallic structures (academic or professional).
• Familiarity with FEA tools (e.g., Nastran, Patran, Abaqus, ANSYS) through coursework, internships, or early career experience.
• Foundational understanding of structural mechanics, materials, and aerospace structures.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
• Ability to communicate technical information clearly in written and verbal English.
• Enthusiasm for aircraft development and alignment with Heart’s mission.
• Willingness to learn, take feedback, and work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Qualifications for a Structures Analyst II

• 2–5 years of professional industry experience.
• Exposure to composite and/or metallic structures.
• Familiarity with FEA tools (e.g., Nastran, Patran, Abaqus, ANSYS) through coursework, internships, or early career experience.
• Foundational understanding of structural mechanics, materials, and aerospace structures.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
• Ability to communicate technical information clearly in written and verbal English.
• Enthusiasm for aircraft development and alignment with Heart’s mission.
• Willingness to learn, take feedback, and work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Education

• Bachelor’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.

Base Pay Range

• Structures Analyst I - $108,000 - $135,000.
• Structures Analyst II - $124,000 - $155,000.
