## What you'll do

- Design primary and secondary aircraft structures including wings, fuselage, empennage, landing gear attachments, and propulsion integration.
- Perform structural sizing using analytical methods and finite element analysis (FEA).
- Evaluate static strength, stiffness, buckling, fatigue, and structural stability of aircraft components.
- Optimize structures for weight, manufacturability, cost, and structural efficiency.
- Work closely with aerodynamics, propulsion, flight controls, and manufacturing teams to develop integrated structural solutions.
- Design composite and metallic structures including joints, bonded interfaces, and mechanical fasteners..
- Correlate finite element models with experimental data and continuously improve structural models.
- Support aircraft assembly, structural integration, ground testing, and flight test campaigns.
- Perform failure investigations and implement design improvements based on test and flight data.

## What we're looking for

- 4+ years of professional experience designing and analyzing aircraft structures including UAVs, general aviation or commercial aircraft.
- Strong fundamentals in solid mechanics, aircraft structures, composite theory and finite element analysis.
- Experience working with industry-standard CAD software.
- Experience with structural analysis tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, Nastran, OptiStruct, or equivalent.
- Hands-on experience designing lightweight aerospace structures using metallic and/or composite materials.
- Experience performing structural sizing, stress analysis, buckling analysis, and fatigue assessments.
- Familiarity with aerospace manufacturing processes including composite layups, machining, and bonded or bolted assemblies.
- Programming experience in Python or MATLAB for analysis automation is highly preferred.

Why LAT?

- No hierarchy beyond strength of ideas.
- Rapid hardware iteration culture.
- Opportunity to build next-generation aerospace technology from the ground up.
