TL;DR · Structural Analysis Engineer

The Structural Analysis Engineer joins the Structural Analysis team to ensure product integrity and performance across various domains including sea, ground, air, and space. This role involves performing static and dynamic structural analyses using first principles, hand calculations, spreadsheets, scripts, and detailed finite element analysis. The engineer will develop and manage FEM models at global and subsystem levels, collaborate with hardware engineers on design improvements, and conduct validation testing involving instrumentation setup and data collection. Key technical requirements include proficiency in FEA software like NASTRAN or Abaqus, CAD tools such as NX or Solidworks, and programming languages including Matlab or Python for automation and modeling. The role addresses complex engineering challenges by ensuring designs meet specific customer requirements, industry standards, and safety regulations while utilizing expertise in statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials.

What you'll do

  • Perform static and dynamic structural analyses across sea, ground, air, and space domains using first principles and FEA.
  • Develop and manage FEM models at both the global and subsystem levels.
  • Collaborate with hardware engineers to drive design improvements based on analytical results.
  • Conduct validation testing including instrumentation setup, data collection, and model correlation.
  • Document analysis methodologies and results in technical reports for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Ensure all designs comply with customer requirements, industry standards, and safety regulations.
  • Develop automation tools and scripts using Matlab or Python for data acquisition and modeling.

What we're looking for

  • BS or higher degree in engineering or applied physics with a focus in structures.
  • Deep understanding of statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, and materials properties.
  • Proficiency in FEA software (NASTRAN/ Abaqus preferred) for linear and non-linear static, dynamic, and buckling analyses.
  • Experience with CAD tools such as NX or Solidworks.
  • Proficiency in Matlab or Python for developing analytical models, data acquisition, and automation.
  • 5+ years of experience in a structures, dynamics, or loads related role (preferred).
  • MS or higher degree in engineering or applied physics with a focus in structures (preferred).
  • Ability to obtain/maintain a U.S. Top Secret security clearance (preferred).
