Required Skills

Bachelor of Science (BS) in a Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) discipline; or a Master-s of Science.
Experience in performing a wide variety of classical and finite element analyses.
US Citizen with ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret Clearance.
Experience in performing a variety of classical and finite element analysis solution types. Experience with the following software tools: FEMAP and NASTRAN is preferred.
Analyzes, researches, and develops structural engineering specifications for metallic, non-metallic and composite structures in all phases of the product life cycle from preliminary design to sustainment.
Develop solutions to a variety of complex structural problems. A complete understanding and application of solid mechanics principles, concepts, practices, and standards is required.
Analysis of the structures could include loads development and dynamics, stress, stability, fatigue, and thermal assessment.
When finite element models (FEMs) are appropriate, critical thinking skills will be required to develop a FEM to capture appropriate behavior of complex non-linear structures.
Due to the complex nature of the systems analyzed, the position requires working closely with multiple engineering disciplines.
Additional work responsibilities may include task planning, conducting technical peer reviews, and mentoring junior engineers.
