Responsibilities
Structural Analysis: Conduct in depth analysis of structures, such as mechanical components and assemblies, to ensure their integrity, safety, and performance. This includes assessing factors like stress, strain, deformation, fatigue, and load distribution
Finite Element Analysis (FEA): Model and simulate structural behavior under various conditions and loads using FEA software (ANSYS preferred). This aids in predicting how a structure will respond to different forces and helps in optimizing designs
Material Selection: Recommend suitable materials for construction or manufacturing based on their mechanical properties, durability, and cost-effectiveness, while considering the specific requirements of the project
Design Evaluation: Collaborate with design teams to evaluate and refine structural designs, providing feedback and suggestions to ensure designs meet safety and performance standards
Load Analysis: Determine and analyze external loads, such as dynamic and thermal forces, and their effects on structures. This involves calculating stresses and strains to assess potential weaknesses
Failure Analysis: Investigating structural failures or anomalies and identifying root causes. This may involve site visits, forensic engineering, and recommendations for repairs or improvements
Computer-Aided Design (CAD): Utilize CAD software to create detailed drawings and models of structural components, including connections, supports, and load-bearing elements
Documentation and Reporting: Maintain comprehensive records of structural analyses, design changes, and project progress. Communicating findings and recommendations through reports and presentations
Collaboration: Work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including engineers, machinists, and project managers, to ensure that structural requirements align with overall project goals
Innovation and Research: Stay up-to-date with advancements in structural engineering, materials, and analysis
Qualification
Required
BS degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Civil, or Structural Engineering plus a minimum of 3 years' experience performing structural design and/or stress analysis work or an MS degree plus at least one year of applicable experience
Must be able to obtain and maintain a Department of Defense Secret level security clearance and access to the AEDC local area network
Due to Air Force Security requirements, U.S. Citizenship is required for employment at AEDC
Preferred
Education in fundamental engineering and science, and advanced knowledge of mathematics, algorithms and computer languages
Ability to work in a team developing/applying FEA model using software such as ANSYS, ABAQUS, etc
Demonstrated technical knowledge of developing computational engineering methods and application of structural tools to engineering problems
