Description of Duties
Independently and collaboratively perform static structural, fatigue, and fracture analyses of aerospace components, assemblies, and systems Develop static, dynamic, and fatigue test plans and procedures, including special test equipment and sensor placement Conduct data analysis and correlate analytical models with test results Partner with design engineers to drive weightoptimized, structurally sound component designs Produce formal engineering documentation, including technical memoranda, analysis reports, design and development books, and product manuals Operate effectively in a fastpaced, interdisciplinary environment with evolving requirements
Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
Ability to derive vehicle load paths and reaction loads using freebody diagrams Familiarity with classical aerospace sizing methods (e.g., Bruhn, Niu, Roark) Strong foundation in firstprinciples methods for performing firstorder static structural hand calculations Demonstrated proficiency with one or more analysis tools: NX FEMAP, PATRAN, Nastran, ANSYS, ABAQUS Expertise in FEM modeling techniques, including boundary conditions, midsurfacing, element selection, structural idealization, bolted connections, contact modeling, and verification methods Proficiency in structural analysis of aerospace systems and components, including: Linear and nonlinear static analysis Stability analysis Sine and random vibration analysis Shock and impact analysis Ability to analyze structural stability (local buckling, global buckling, crippling) using classical methods and FEM Experience performing boltedjoint calculations (bolt preload, joint stiffness, sheartension interaction, insert pullout, etc.) in accordance with NASASTD5020 Support for internal/external design reviews, TIMs, and PDR/CDR milestones Experience with the design and development of spacecraft, spacesuits, aircraft, military systems, or other relevant vehicles and subsystems Understanding of the full engineering product lifecycle-from requirements development through design, manufacturing, testing, and operations Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Visio, Project) Strong written and verbal communication skills Ability to build and maintain positive working relationships; demonstrate creativity, flexibility, resourcefulness, sound judgment, tact, and a sense of humor Ability to review and guide junior engineers' designs and analyses, providing mentorship and technical leadership
Desired Experience
Background in one or more of the following disciplines: Life Support System Design Crew Systems Design Crew Cabin Design Mechanical Design Mechanical Analysis Strong understanding of fatigue and fracture mechanics, including experience with AFGRO/NASGRO, spectra development, NDE methods, failsafe vs. safelife approaches, and NASASTD5019 Experience modeling and simulating electronics components and associated failure modes Expertise in welded joint analysis Experience with mechanical mechanisms such as bearings, valves, motors, rotating joints, and gears Ability to manipulate SolidWorks CAD models directly for analysis and team collaboration
