We are looking for a Staff Propulsion Stress Analyst to join our team. The goal of a Staff Propulsion Stress Analyst at Wisk is to ensure that the propulsion system meets all structural certification requirements. You will be part of the Propulsion Integrated Product team responsible for converting DC power to thrust generation. This is a hybrid work opportunity: onsite at our HQ in Mountain View 3 days per week with flexibility for the remainder.
What You Will Do
Lead and perform comprehensive structural analysis (static, dynamic, fatigue, damage tolerance) for all propulsion system components, from initial concept to detailed design and testing.
Develop and manage relationships with external analysis vendors or contractors, defining statements of work and ensuring the quality and accuracy of their deliverables.
Serve as the primary liaison between the stress analysis team and other functions, effectively communicating complex technical results to non-experts in design, systems, and certification engineering.
Own the development, validation, implementation, and improvement of stress analysis methodologies, tools, and allowables, including identifying gaps and coordinating standards specific to propulsion systems.
Develop, automate, and maintain engineering tools/scripts (e.g., Python, VBA, MATLAB) to enhance analysis accuracy and workflow efficiency for propulsion stress analysis.
Prepare comprehensive technical documentation (stress reports, methods docs, presentations) and ensure timely completion/prioritization of assigned development activities for propulsion components.
Mentor other engineers on complex analysis and methods application, fostering a culture of technical excellence and first-principles thinking within the propulsion stress team.
What You'll Need
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Civil Engineering.
Minimum of 8+ years of progressive experience in aerospace structural stress analysis, with a significant focus on propulsion systems or related critical structures.
Expertise in static, dynamic, fatigue, and damage tolerance analysis utilizing both classical hand calculation methods (e.g., Bruhn, Roark, Niu) and advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
Proficiency with FEA software, strongly preferred NASTRAN, FEMAP, and LS‑Dyna; experience with Abaqus, HyperMesh, HyperView also highly valued.
Strong understanding and practical experience with FAA (Part 33/35) certification requirements, including preparing certification reports and collaborating with regulatory bodies.
Proven experience with both metallic and composite structures.
Familiarity with composite cross‑sectional analysis tools like VABS or similar.
Ability to work effectively in a fast‑paced, ambiguous environment, demonstrating a strong bias for action and a pragmatic approach to problem‑solving.
Excellent analytical, problem‑solving, and organizational skills, with a track record of delivering robust and certifiable designs.
Strong written and verbal communication and interpersonal skills for effective collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.
Compensation and Benefits We offer a competitive total rewards package including a base salary of $195,000–$229,000 per year (depending on location and experience), an annual bonus, long‑term incentive, 401(k) with employer match, health benefits, and more.
