Hybrid Senior Structural Analysis Engineer

at Pangea Propulsion

• Job title: Senior Structural Analysis Engineer
• Job type: Full Time
• Experience level: Senior
• Salary: Not specified
• Degree requirement: Postgraduate Degree
• Location requirements: Hybrid, Barcelona, Spain

About the role

• Structural Analysis Engineer developing advanced structural analyses for innovative propulsion systems in the aerospace industry. Joining a multicultural team in Barcelona committed to sustainability and performance.

Responsibilities

• Perform and lead FEA campaigns including static, modal, thermo-mechanical, dynamic and transient analyses, dealing efficiently with non-linear problems (contacts, plasticity, large deformation etc.)
• Plan, build, verify, document and maintain high-fidelity and robust FE models with traceability to loads, material properties, requirements, and assumptions.
• Provide clear, high-impact design feedback to mechanical design and propulsion teams at both part and subsystem level.
• Develop and improve analysis methodologies, scripts, subroutines, benchmarks, and guidelines.
• Lead cross disciplinary interactions with mechanical design, fluidic analysis, and test teams to ensure coherent modelling strategies and proper load mapping.
• Participate in design reviews, presenting methods, assumptions, results, and recommendations with clarity, conciseness and technical rigor.
• Mentor junior and consolidated engineers, helping them develop modelling skills, physics intuition, validation strategies, and efficient workflows.
• Review and challenge analysis approaches to ensure modelling robustness and consistency across projects.

Requirements

• Master’s degree (or higher) in Aerospace, Mechanical, or related engineering disciplines.
• Minimum 5+ years of professional experience performing advanced structural analyses using commercial FEA tools (preferably Abaqus).
• Proven ability to run non-linear, thermo-mechanical, and dynamic analyses with a high level of autonomy and technical ownership.
• Strong understanding of structural mechanics, vibrations, fatigue, fracture, material behavior, and numerical methods.
• Demonstrated experience framing analysis problems, defining assumptions, and ensuring consistency with loads and system requirements.
• Ability to interpret results critically, identify anomalies, and propose sound engineering solutions.
• Excellent communication skills—able to articulate assumptions, limitations, and design implications clearly to multidisciplinary teams.
• Proactive mindset, ownership attitude, and passion for sharing knowledge and elevating team capability.
• Fluent English.

Benefits

• Flexible work arrangements
• Professional development opportunities
