Prescreen Questions
  1. When you receive an FEA model from another engineer to review, what do you check before you everlook at the stress plots - and what are the most common mistakes you find?
  2. You're designing a fixture to vibe test a 40 lb flight component. Walk me through how you ensurethe fixture doesn't interfere with the test, and how you'd verify it before hardware exists.
  3. Describe a time your hand calculation and FEA gave significantly different results. How did youfigure out who was right, and what did you do with the answer?

Job Description

Responsibilities:
  • Perform strength assessments utilizing both classical analysis techniques and finite element analysis (FEA) for tooling and ground support equipment (GSE)
  • Document and review stress analyses to facilitate the release of engineering drawings and related documentation
  • Mentor tooling designers on best practices in stress, stability, and fracture analysis
  • Provide technical guidance on design concepts, including risk, cost, and performance trade-offs
  • Support cross-functional teams with input for design development, analysis, and trade studies
  • Lead conceptual and detailed analysis of tooling and equipment for the manufacture and assembly of structural components, mechanical/actuated systems, and hydraulic and fluid systems
  • Serve as the technical point of contact and responsible party for vendor-developed tooling projects


Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering (minimum), with at least 8 years of experience analyzing ground support equipment (GSE) or tooling in the automotive, aerospace or similar industry

  • Proven Experience of FEA using 1D, 2D & 3D elements with models containing weldments, machined parts, and weldments
  • Proficiency in generating free-body diagrams to calculate internal loads and reaction forces, and in simplifying and idealizing structural problems of varying complexity
  • Extensive experience analyzing steel and aluminum tooling, including machining fixtures and weldments using hand calculations
  • Proficiency in performing bolted joint hand calculations (bolt preload, joint stiffness, shear-tension interaction, insert pull-out, etc.)
  • Proficiency in performing welded joint hand calculations (required size, length, effective throat, direct and resultant stress, and failure modes
  • Demonstrated ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion
  • Familiarity with applicable structural codes (AISC-360, ASME B30 & 31, ASME BTH-1, etc.)
