Assist in building and refining finite element models (FEM) to evaluate the structural performance of UAV components.

Perform static, modal, fatigue, and vibration analyses to assess stress, deformation, and durability.

Conduct hand calculations to validate FEA results, ensuring accuracy and structural reliability.

Work with design engineers to optimize airframe structures, balancing weight, strength, and manufacturability.

Support the development of test plans for structural validation, including quasi-static, vibration, and shock testing.

Analyse flight telemetry and structural test data to improve modeling accuracy and correlate predictions with real-world performance.

Assist in defining load cases, material properties, and design margins for UAV airframe and mechanical components.

Document and present structural analysis reports and technical recommendations to engineering teams.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure structural requirements align with system performance goals.

Contribute to the continuous improvement of structural analysis methodologies, tools, and best practices.

Required qualifications:

B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field.

7+ years of experience in structural analysis, finite element modeling, or aircraft loads analysis.

Experience with FEA tools (ANSYS, NASTRAN, HyperWorks, or similar).

Strong ability to perform hand calculations for structural strength, stability, and fatigue analysis.

Knowledge of composite materials and lightweight aerospace structures.

Familiarity with mechanical testing methods (static, vibration, and fatigue).

Proficiency with data analysis tools (Excel, MATLAB, Python, or similar).

Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work in a team environment.

Preferred qualifications:

Master’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering.

Experience in aircraft structural design, UAV airframe development, or aerospace testing.

Hands-on experience with structural testing, modal analysis, or composite modeling.

Exposure to CAD software (NX, SolidWorks) and PLM tools (Teamcenter or similar).

Understanding of aerospace industry standards, structural certification processes, and material selection.

Structural Group Assistant Intern Protected Category L.68/99

200 - Design - Maranello, Modena

TGR Haas F1 Team competes in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship with Grand Prix race winner Esteban Ocon and British rising star Ollie Bearman, led by Team Principal Ayao Komatsu. The 2025 season saw the team’s second highest points total in its 10-season history, achieving a combined total of 20 top 10 finishes. We don’t follow the status quo, we’re here to challenge the competition, and we want you to join us.

The first American Formula 1 team to compete in the sport since 1986, TGR Haas F1 Team made an immediate impression with a memorable points-scoring debut at the 2016 Australian Grand Prix. Nine years later, and the team continues to demonstrate growth and a clear direction with its future objectives – coming off the back of its second-best season to-date in Formula 1.

Yes, you’ll learn from us, but we expect to learn from you too!
