Structural Analysis Engineer

Responsibilities

• Leads development, integration and documentation of structural requirements to establish the system design.
• Coordinates with other engineering groups to establish the product's environment.
• Guides product design and verifies structural integrity by using and developing analytical methods, finite element models/simulations and other analysis tools throughout the product lifecycle to develop the structural environment, characteristics and performance.
• Leads development of test plans and configurations, supports test execution and analyzes/reports test results to validate and verify systems and components meet requirements and specifications.
• Defines and documents certification and test results to substantiate for customers and regulatory agencies that requirements are satisfied.
• Supports in-service products by leading investigations into failures and analyzing improvements.
• Develops analytical processes/tools to improve effectiveness, quality and efficiency of the development effort.
• Works under minimal direction.

• Bachelor degree from an accredited course of study in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry (e.g. Bachelor) or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience. In the USA, ABET accreditation is preferred, although not required, accreditation standard.
• 10+ years of relevant structural analysis experience.
• 8+ years experience analyzing primary structure, subsystems, or weapons in the Aerospace Industry.
• Experience performing hand calculations, using industry CAD system (e.g. PRO-E, SOLIDWORKS, AUTOCAD, NX/Teamcenter, CATIA/ENOVIA), FEM software (PATRAN/NASTRAN, Stress check, Hyperworks, Abaqus), and MS Office.

• Experience with Aerospace Analysis Tools (CAESAR, Lifeworks, Mechanical, Common Structures Workstation).

Education/experience typically acquired through advanced technical education from an accredited course of study in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry (e.g. Bachelor) and typically 9 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience (e.g. PhD+4 years' related work experience, Master+7 years' related work experience). In the USA, ABET accreditation is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard
