Structural Analysis Engineer - UAV (6-month Contract)

We’re looking for a Structural Analysis Engineer to work on advanced UAV airframes, focusing on lightweight structures, composites, and full airframe structural integrity.

This role is ideal for someone who wants real ownership, works comfortably across disciplines, and enjoys early-stage aircraft development.

What you’ll work on

• Define and analyse airframe load cases (maneuvre, gust, landing, propulsion, inertial)
• Perform global and local FEA on wings, centre bodies, booms, mounts, and joints
• Conduct stress, deflection, stiffness, and buckling analysis
• Carry out composite laminate and sandwich panel analysis
• Evaluate margins of safety and reserve factors
• Support fatigue, durability, and damage tolerance assessments (concept–preliminary level)
• Perform modal and vibration analysis to avoid resonance issues
• Support thermal–structural effects from motors, batteries, and environment ...
