Job Description
Our client is currently seeking a Structural Analysis Engineer 4
Position Responsibilities:
- Ensures compliance with methodology and processes for stress analysis, DaDT analysis, and finite element modelling in the accomplishment of work
- Performs Failsafe Analyses, durability life calculations, and determines Damage Tolerance for fracture critical parts
- Familiar with Single Flight Probability of Failure methods for determining fleet risk
- Verifies structural integrity by defining requirements for development of analytical methods, finite element models/simulations and other analysis tools to develop the airframe structural environment, characteristics, and performance of the product
- Ensures USAF Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP) requirements are met for airframe analysis and validation
- Calculates inspection intervals for fleet aircraft based upon calculated crack growth rates
- Develops and uses various Finite Element Models for crack growth coefficients
- Understands proper application of loads in FEMs
- Understands industry best practices in airframe primary structure and load paths
- Supports product design and verifies structural integrity by using analytical methods, finite element models/simulations, and other analysis tools throughout the product lifecycle to develop the structural environment, characteristics and performance.
- Supports in-service products by investigating failures and analyzing improvements.
- Develops analytical processes/tools to improve effectiveness, quality and efficiency of the repair development effort.
- Leads repair development, integration and documentation of structural requirements to establish the system design.
- Works under minimal direction.
Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):
- Bachelor's, Master's or Doctorate of Science degree from an accredited course of study, in engineering
- Able to independently construct, execute, review, and manage structural finite element models in the area of DaDT
- Expertise in linear elastic fracture mechanics
- Expertise with Paris Law & Spectrum Analysis
- Experience with classic crack growth analysis tools (such as NASGRO, AFGROW, GROWTH, NASA/FLAGRO, and/or BEAS)
- 10 or more years of experience in structural analysis
- 10 or more years of experience in fracture, fatigue, and/or DaDT analysis
- Strong written, verbal communications and presentation skills
Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):
- Active U.S. Secret Clearance
- Familiarity with Books 1, 2, 3 & 4 with an emphasis on Durability and Damage Tolerance
- Experience with Hypermesh, StressCheck, Abaqus CAE, and/or Nastran
- Familiarity with Lifeworks
- Graduate level or Senior level coursework in Fatigue & Fracture Mechanics
- Experience validating or verifying finite element model results
- Experience with structural design principles for aircraft primary structures (e.g., fatigue, damage tolerance, corrosion, stress analysis, statics, materials strength, material characteristics, and repair techniques)
- Experience with Aircraft Primary Structures on Commercial Derivatives - Commercial and/or Military applications (737, 747, 757, 767 & 777)
Education / Experience: 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.
