Responsibilities

Independently perform a range of structural analyses, including:

Modal analysis

Random vibration analysis

High-level sine analysis

Shock analysis

Build and evaluate component-level and system-level finite element models (FEMs), including:

Importing and cleaning geometry

Defining boundary conditions and load cases

Selecting appropriate element types

Interpreting and exporting results

Apply meshing best practices, including mesh refinement, quality verification, and convergence assessment

Perform classical hand calculations and correlate results with FEM simulations to validate assumptions

Analyze typical aerospace hardware such as brackets, interconnects, fittings, and structural subassemblies

Demonstrate working knowledge of bolted joints, including modeling approaches and extraction of bolt forces from FEM results

Understand mechanical material properties and assess structural risks, margins, and failure modes associated with different materials

Convert analysis results into clear, concise technical reports suitable for internal design reviews, customer delivery, and qualification or certification documentation

Clearly explain assumptions, methodologies, results, and conclusions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Collaborate closely with design engineers to ensure hardware meets structural requirements and to influence designs early to reduce structural risk

Work with test engineers to:

Recommend accelerometer locations

Interpret gRMS curves and test spectra

Correlate analytical models to test data

Support root-cause investigations for test anomalies or failures

Translate system-level structural requirements into analysis inputs and boundary conditions, verify compliance with requirements, and clearly communicate analysis results

Provide technical guidance and informal mentoring to junior analysts as needed

Support continuous improvement of analysis methods, modeling practices, and reporting standards within the team
