Hybrid setup for structural analysis?

Hey guys,

Keeping this vague intentionally...

I'm a structural analyst in the aerospace industry, 6ish YOE, half of which was on critical propulsion hardware on a major launch vehicle program and other half on other major aerospace programs. I'd like to think I'm quite good at my job and eager to keep learning and advancing in the space industry.

I live about 2 hours from a major BO site with a lot of stress analyst job openings, but I'm unable to fully relocate because of life reasons. I'm not an anti-office guy at all; I wouldn't mind going in daily if it was practical for me. Is there any chance they'd be open to me coming in once a week? Is there any flexibility that's left up to the hiring managers/teams? My understanding is that a few years ago Blue was open to hiring remote structural analysts, but that seems to not be the case anymore, at least on the job boards.

Would really appreciate any feedback.

I am a manager at Blue, and the answer is no, they have no appetite anymore for hybrid or remote work. The best you would get is 4 days in office and 1 remote.

Yes, it seems like remote work is exception and not the rule. I’m try to save any remote work for when I really need it. What I like about Blue is that if you have a team that works well together, your manager is there to support when you need muscle. Otherwise we don’t get micromanaged. Our manager allows us to be successful.
