Title: Structural Analyst II
Location:Remote, Office Access potential
Employment Type: Full-time
Department:Solid Rocket Motors
About Us: X-Bow Systems is a cutting-edge aerospace technology company focused on revolutionizing propulsion systems for space exploration and defense applications. Our team of innovative engineers and scientists is committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in rocket propulsion.
Position Summary
X-Bow Systems is looking for a Structural Analyst II to support the analysis and development of ablative nozzles, motor cases, thrust-vector-control hardware, thermal protection components, and other rocket motor components.
The role combines finite element modeling, composite mechanics, thermal-structural analysis, and material-response assessment. The analyst will evaluate structures exposed to pressure, thermal gradients, vibration, acceleration, erosion, ablation, and other demanding operating environments.
Responsibilities
Create and maintain detailed finite element models of ablative nozzles and related propulsion hardware.
Analyze composite, carbon-carbon, ceramic, elastomeric, phenolic, metallic, and bonded structures.
Evaluate pressure, thermal, mechanical, vibration, and combined-load conditions.
Assess stress, strain, deformation, buckling, fracture risk, joint loads, and material margins.
Structurally model or represent temperature-dependent material properties and thermal gradients.
Support coupled thermal-structural analyses and interpretation of analysis results
Evaluate the effects of ablation, recession, erosion, pyrolysis, andblockchanges on structural performance.
Analyze nozzle inserts, exit cones, insulation systems, liners, case interfaces, joints, and attachment features.
Develop limit-load, ultimate-load, proof-load, transient, and qualification analysis cases.
Correlate analytical predictions with component tests, hot-fire testing, subscale testing, and inspection data.
Support test planning, instrumentation definition, post-test assessment, and anomaly investigations.
Prepare formal analysis reports, model descriptions, technical reviews, and verification documentation.
Collaborate with propulsion, thermal, materials, manufacturing, and test engineering teams.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, materials engineering, or a related field.
At least two (2) years of professional analysis experience.
Experience withABAQUSfinite element modeling and structural analysis through professional work, research, and internships.
Understanding of structuralsolidmechanics, heat transfer, thermomechanics, and material behavior.
Familiarity with composite or high-temperature materials.
Basic design for manufacturability
Strong technical documentation and cross-functional communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with ablative nozzles, solid rocket motors, propulsion components,or similar hardware.
Knowledge of composite laminate modeling, orthotropic materials, anisotropic material behavior, and temperature-dependent properties.
Experience with hyperelastic (rubber or similar) material modeling.
Experience with user-defined materials, subroutines, field variables, element activation, material degradation, or evolving geometry.
Familiarity with nozzle throat inserts, insulation, liners, bonded interfaces, and joint mechanics including thermostructural analyses.
Experience with thermal-structural coupling, transient analysis, nonlinear contact, or large-deformation analysis.
Experience correlating finite element predictions with hot-fire, pressure, thermal-vacuum, arc-jet, or other environmental test data.
Knowledge of model verification and validation, mesh convergence, sensitivity studies, and uncertainty management.
Experience working in regulated, configuration-controlled, or export-controlled engineering environments.

X-Bow (pronounced “crossbow”) builds the solid rocket motors that power America's missiles, interceptors, and sub-orbital launch vehicles—and, through its AFRL-certified AMSP™ process and Rocket Factory in a Box (RFIB™), the manufacturing capacity to produce them at scale. As the nation rebuilds its stockpiles, we deliver affordable mass for the battlefield, combat-ready Rocket-Assisted Take-Off (RATO) motors fielded today, and propulsion for next-generation hypersonic and strategic programs.
Notably, we offer flight-demonstrated All-Up Round (AUR) capabilities with scalable propulsion architectures, led by BUCKLER™—our flight-tested, sub-$100K interceptor designed to defeat Group 3 drones and rotary-wing threats, with a clear path to scaling up larger, next-generation AUR variants. We are more than a defense supplier: our modular BOLT™ launch vehicle already flies sub-orbital missions and is Low Earth Orbit (LEO)-ready with the addition of a third stage—opening a fast, affordable path to space.
Backed by prominent aerospace and venture capital investors—including Crosslink Capital, Razor's Edge Ventures, Balerion Space Ventures, Boeing, Arkenstone Capital, The Capital Factory, Upsher Management Company, Event Horizon Capital, and Lockheed Martin Ventures—X-Bow is headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with a dedicated R&D facility in Socorro, NM, and additional presence in Texas, Mississippi, California, Alabama, Colorado, Utah, Maryland, and Washington, DC. X-Bow’s revenue and backlog have more than doubled in recent years, reflecting strong demand for its advanced propulsion solutions. For more information, visit www.XBowSystems.com.
