About Castelion

Castelion is bringing a new approach to defense development and production: one that focuses on short, iterative design cycles, rapid testing in development, and modern commercial manufacturing strategies for production at scale. We’re designing, building, and testing next generation long range strike weapons systems to give America and its Allies a definitive edge and deter future conflicts.

Structural Analysis Engineer

Castelion is seeking a Structural Analysis Engineer to use analytical methods, finite element models/simulations, and other analysis tools to produce models, perform analysis, calculations, data reduction, and correlate test results for structures. This role would be responsible for closely collaborating with the design and manufacturing teams to produce designs that meet performance, manufacturability, and schedule requirements.

Responsibilities

  • Utilize first principle approaches with a good general knowledge of metallics and composite structures.
  • Develop GFEM (Global Finite Element Models) and DFEM (Detail Finite Element Models).
  • Write Margins of Safety (MoS) for various candidate materials and make recommendations to designers to improve geometries.
  • Create and maintain material properties database for use in commercial FEA code simulations.
  • Plan and execute ground static and dynamic test of complex mechanisms and structures.
  • Build axisymmetric FEM models of complex aerospace structural assemblies.
  • Develop internal processes for performing structural analysis and be willing to instruct design engineers in simplified stress analysis.

Basic Qualifications

  • 3-5 years of direct experience.
  • Experience with thermal/pressure load coupling.
  • Proficiency in a commercial structural analysis code (FEMAP, ANSYS, HyperMesh, Abaqus).
  • Understanding of basic coding (Python, MATLAB).
  • Entry-level experience with a commercial CAD code (SolidWorks, NX, Autodesk).

All employees are granted long-term stock incentives as part of their employment as Castelion. All employees receive access to comprehensive medial, vision, and dental insurance, and the company offers three weeks of paid time off per year.

Leadership Qualities

Bias to Action and Creative Problem Solving . Desire and experience questioning assumptions in ways that lead to break through ideas that are ultimately implemented. Successfully bring in applicable processes/concepts/materials from other industries to achieve efficiency gains. Ability to personally resolve minor issues in development without requiring significant support.

High Commitment, High Initiative . A successful candidate will have a genuine passion for Castelion’s mission and consistently look for ways to contribute to the company’s technical goals and prevent hardware blockers. Ability to work in a fast paced, autonomously driven, and demanding atmosphere. Strong sense of accountability and integrity.

Clear Communicator . Proactively communicates blockers. Trusted in previous roles to be voice of company with regulators, suppliers, gate keepers and customers. Capable of tactfully managing relationships with stakeholders to achieve company-desired outcomes without compromising relationships. Emails, IMs and verbal interactions are logical, drive clarity, and detailed enough to eliminate ambiguity.

  • To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
