Hire Aerospace Structures Engineer

The total cost to hire Aerospace Structures Engineer talent via smartbrain.io is typically 30-40 % lower than building the same capability in-house. You avoid internal recruiter salaries, job-board spend, relocation packages, bench time, and compliance overhead. Our transparent hourly or monthly rates bundle payroll taxes, benefits, HR, and local compliance. Because you pay only for productive hours, engineering budgets remain predictable. Clients also save opportunity cost—our average onboarding time is three days versus the industry’s 12-week hiring cycle, letting your program hit milestones sooner and generate ROI while competitors are still interviewing.

Every Aerospace Structures Engineer we provide signs a strict NDA plus a work-made-for-hire agreement assigning all foreground IP to your company. Source files live in your repositories; we never host your proprietary data. smartbrain.io is U.S.-registered and complies with ITAR, CMMC, and GDPR where relevant. Our secure onboarding process includes background checks, device hardening, and optional VDI environments. You retain code-review control, and engineers gain least-privileged access only to modules they actively develop. This layered approach has helped over 120 customers protect trade secrets while still reaping the speed of staff augmentation.

Not at all. smartbrain.io maintains a roster across North America, LATAM, and EMEA so you can choose overlap that fits your stand-ups. Even when leveraging lower-cost regions, we guarantee a minimum four-hour cross-over window with your core engineering team. Our engineers adopt your Slack channels, sprint cadence, and meeting culture from day one, ensuring real-time reviews and rapid iteration. Tools such as Jira, Confluence, and Zoom are standard, and we supply detailed daily progress logs to keep momentum visible regardless of geography.

We offer flexible month-to-month agreements with discounted multi-month commitments. Minimum engagement is 160 hours per engineer, but you can scale up or down with 10-business-day notice. All contracts are governed by U.S. law, featuring clear IP assignment, service-level objectives, and optional performance clawbacks. This gives you the agility to spin resources up for design sprints and ramp down after critical reviews without HR liabilities.

Candidates pass a rigorous 5-step process: resume screening for domain depth, timed technical quiz on aerostructures fundamentals, live design-challenge in CATIA/Siemens NX, soft-skills interview, and a reference check with past aerospace employers. Only the top 3 % join our talent cloud. You receive detailed scorecards, recorded sessions, and sample work artifacts so you can make an informed selection in minutes, not weeks.

We provide a zero-risk replacement guarantee. Notify your Customer Success Manager within the first 14 days, and we’ll swap the engineer at no additional cost—often within 48 hours. Because talent stays on smartbrain.io’s payroll, transitions are seamless: documentation hand-off, revoked access, and new engineer onboarding are all managed by us, keeping your project velocity intact.

Thanks to our active bench, most clients schedule first interviews within two business days and have an Aerospace Structures Engineer coding or modelling inside their environment in as little as 72 hours. Our streamlined onboarding—covering NDA, tooling access, and expectations alignment—happens in parallel with contract countersignature, giving you a near-instant productivity boost compared to traditional hiring.
