About the Role
You’ll analyze hardware for some of the world’s most advanced flight-simulation test facilities, including supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnels, jet and rocket engine test cells, and space-environment chambers.

What You’ll Do
• Run FEA (ANSYS preferred, ABAQUS OK) on test articles, fixtures, and facility components
• Analyze stress, fatigue, vibration, and thermal loads to make sure hardware holds up under extreme conditions
• Review designs with engineers and machinists, and recommend materials and fixes
• Investigate structural failures and find root causes
• Document results in clear technical reports and briefings

What You Need
• BS in Mechanical, Aerospace, Civil, or Structural Engineering + 3 years of stress/structural analysis, or MS + 1 year
• Hands-on FEA experience (ANSYS, ABAQUS, NASTRAN, or similar)
• Active DoD Secret clearance
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
Nice to Have
• Modal, random vibration, or shock analysis
• Fatigue or thermal-structural experience
• CAD (SolidWorks, Creo, NX)
• Aerospace, defense, or test-facility background
Why Tullahoma? You’ll do hands-on work on one-of-a-kind test hardware, live somewhere with a low cost of living, and be about an hour from Nashville and Huntsville.
