# Structural Design & Analysis Engineer - Company: [Lat]() - Location: Bangalore - Team: Aircraft - Employment type: Full Time - Posted: June 30, 2026 ## Job description We're Hiring: **Structural Design & Analysis Engineer** Full-Time | Core Team LAT Aerospace | Aircraft LAT Aerospace is developing next-generation aerospace systems from first principles. This includes a hybrid electric aircraft that takes off and lands within a space of a parking lot, Defence systems built from ground up and scalable Gas Turbine Engines. The Structural Design & Analysis Engineer rolesits at the intersection of structural engineering, aerodynamics, manufacturing, and testing. You will be responsible for taking aircraft structures from initial concepts and sizing to flight-ready hardware through rapid design, analysis, prototyping, and validation. **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. ## Apply [Apply on Lat]() Canonical job page:
