About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Apply standard engineering techniques to collect, aggregate, and analyze data measuring the performance and reliability of Aerospace systems and components to improve design, producibility, and efficiencies;
Evaluate and analyze structural systems to establish environments and ensure that hardware is appropriately specified for those environments;
Develop predictions of structural dynamic responses through a variety of analytical techniques, including hand calculations, FEA, and SEA, some of which may require the development of software tools to implement algorithms developed specifically for the application at hand;
Identify trends in technical performance or reliability and prepare reports detailing these trends as well as anticipated impact or cost to the organization.
Improve and maintain current systems or create new systems; apply engineering techniques and analyses within the scope of the assignment.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Minimum of a B.S. degree or higher in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or related field.
8+ years of experience within the fields of aircraft, spacecraft, or launch vehicle structures
Experience with analyzing / dispositioning non-conformances
Complete hand calculations including free-body diagrams for internal and reaction load derivation
Bolted joint calculations (bolt preload, joint stiffness, shear-tension interaction, insert pull-out, etc.)
Knowledge of engineering materials and their applications to achieve optimal structures
Strong experience with classical and aerospace analysis methods (Bruhn, Niu, Roark, Blodgett, Mark’s Shigley, etc.)
Demonstrated knowledge of vehicle load path and stress analysis of metallic and/or composite structures (pressure vessels, skin-stringer, fittings, sandwich panels, etc.)
Demonstrated expertise with at least two of the following analysis codes: Ansys, Nastran, Optistruct, LS Dyna, Hypermesh, Hypersizer, NASGRO, Abaqus
Demonstrated experience using scripting languages (VBA, Matlab, Python, FORTRAN, etc.)
Understanding of FEM modeling techniques (boundary conditions, bolted connections, contact, verification methods, etc.)
Mesh generation (ex: mid-surfacing) and understanding of element types
Analysis of stability critical structures (local buckling phenomenon, global buckling, crippling)
Experience with development and/or qualification testing (test requirements, setup/configuration, test predictions, test conduct/monitoring, etc.)
Able to effectively communicate and collaborate across a varied team
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
