Your RoleThornton Tomasetti's Applied Science practice combines structural engineering, computational simulation, and applied research to solve complex problems across civilian and government applications. We are seeking a structural engineer with 3+ years of experience who is interested in applying and developing expertise in finite element modeling (FEM) and analysis.
As a Project Engineer in the Applied Science Practice, you will take on a key technical and coordination role, owning complex design challenges, guiding junior engineers, and shaping the delivery of innovative solutions. You will work across disciplines, lead and coordinate multi-disciplinary technical tasks, and step into client-facing opportunities.
What You'll Do- Lead and refine structural analysis, design, and detailing tasks in critical infrastructure applications. Adapt technical skills and solve project challenges with strong engineering judgement.
- Develop, run, and postprocess finite element models to investigate structural behavior, including nonlinear and dynamic response as project needs require.
- Assess structural vulnerability to extreme loads and help develop engineering solutions to improve performance and protect structures.
- Drive the quality of deliverables by organizing information clearly, reviewing junior engineer's work, and tailoring output to project scope and contractor needs. Prepare clear technical deliverables, including calculations, reports, drawings, data visualizations, and presentations.
- Coordinate with multidisciplinary project teams, communicate technical findings to colleagues and clients, and contribute to project planning.
What You'll Bring- Master's degree or PhD in Civil, or Structural Engineering.
- 3+ years of professional structural engineering experience. PE licensure, or progress toward licensure, is preferred.
- Proficiency with structural analysis and design software such as SAP2000, ETABS, RAM, Revit, and Rhino and experience designing steel and concrete systems.
- A demonstrated interest in finite element modeling. Prior academic or professional experience creating, running, and postprocessing FEA simulations is preferred.
- Strong technical writing, communication, organization, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage priorities and collaborate across disciplines.
This position will support US Government projects. As part of the US government contract requirements, all project staff must be able to secure US security clearance. US security clearance requires the applicant to be a US citizen.
CompensationThe rate for this position generally is $100,000 - $120,000 annually. This range is a good faith estimate provided pursuant to the New York Pay Transparency Law.

Similar positions located outside of New York will not necessarily receive the same compensation. Actual pay rates may vary from the range, as permitted by New York Equal Pay Transparency Law. Compensation offers will be based on various factors, including operational needs, individual education, qualifications and experience, work location and comparison to employee already in the role, as well as other considerations permitted by law. A potential new employee's pay history will not be used in compensation decisions.
BenefitsDepending on your employment status, benefits may include:
- Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, AD&D, Disability and other voluntary benefits
- Flexible Spending Accounts for Medical and Childcare
- Paid Time Off, Family Leave for New Parents, Volunteer Time
- Tuition Reimbursement
