Job Title: Structural Aeronautical Engineer

Duration: 1+ year (Possible Full-time Permanent Conversion)
Location: Palm Beach Gardens, FL

What You Will Be Doing

This position will apply engineering principles, industry standards, company standards and customer requirements to develop and perform thermo-structural analysis simulations--under general supervision--to support design activities across Propulsion Systems and Controls, Elkton Operations product lines. These simulations include development of thermo-structural models, gridding, selection of boundary conditions and constraints, selection of applicable material properties and selection of proper simulation codes and methodologies. In addition, this position will coordinate strategy for developing and leveraging multi-disciplinary design, optimization, and analysis processes to support mission requirements.

Under general supervision, develop analytical approaches to assist in the resolution of unique structural/thermo-structural mechanics issues. Provide structural mechanics and material specialist recommendations to IPT working group

Taking role in developing methodologies, interpretation of analytical results, and recommendations for design improvement.

Preparation of technical reports and presentations of work products to both internal and external customers.

Provide technical assessments of test hardware and test data

ANSYS mechanical experience

Development of material models for thermal or structural analyses efforts. Assist in development of material test plans, selection of test methods, test data analysis to support material modeling efforts.

Provide analytical services in support of failure investigations: developing fault trees, developing approaches and providing analytical efforts to assess fault causes

Assist project team in design of experiments testing to provide necessary data to support detailed analyses

Form close working relationships with internal and external customer technical community and specific customer technical points of contact

Ability to organize, preserve, and manage engineering data, design documentation, and models to ensure they remain searchable, secure, and accessible for future redesigns, manufacturing, or analysis.

Preferred Qualifications

Thermal/structural analytical simulation of air-breathing engines is very desirable; experience with rocket motors is a plus.

Applicable experience in performing metals and composite materials thermal/structural analysis

Knowledge of nonlinear material properties and implementation using FEA

Experience with high and low cycle fatigue as well as damage tolerance using NASGRO or equivalent

Personality fit with existing staff, demonstrates leadership skills

Personal poise, demonstrated ability to prepare and present analytical results in both oral and written formats

Critical thinking skills, logical approaches, attention to detail

Must Have

Applied knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Microsoft Project).

Structural Analysis

Thermal Analysis
