Structural Engineer Top Secret Clearance

Location (mandatory): Lexington, MA Analyzes, researches and develops structural engineering specifications involving metals, non-metallic or composite structural materials for product design, or operation of product to include structures, mechanical, hydraulic, electrical and electronics, power plant, armament, heating and ventilating, equipment and maintenance designs. Analyzes damage tolerance, durability, producibility, cost, safety, design allowable and structural modeling. Specific structural engineering specialties may include dynamics and loads, stability and stress fatigue and thermal analysis. Utilizes and validates 3-D and digital modeling to communicate and support production. Tools utilized such as CATIA, IDEAS, Siemens PLM Software NX, ProEngineer and a variety of analytical software applications. We are looking for a candidate with experience predicting the mechanical behavior of structures using nite element analysis for static and dynamic environments, performing vibration and shock environmental testing and the subsequent model correlation, and developing tests to characterize the behavior of structural components is desired. The successful candidate will be part of an interdisciplinary engineering team contributing to the development of operational prototype hardware, spanning the full program life cycle from concept development to fielding and test. Candidate should have ability to perform hand calculations and simplified models in conjunction with utilization of CAD and nite element analysis software, such as FEMAP, NASTRAN, SOLIDWORKS, and ANSYS. Successful candidate will start 100% onsite until team is comfortable with on-boarding status. After ~6-9 months, working 1-2 days/week remotely could be an option. Job Responsibilities: 5+ years of experience with static and dynamic structural modeling and analysis Ability to clearly communicate results in oral presentations and written reports Ability to work in interdisciplinary teams Skills: Experience with structural testing and model correlation Experience with STOP (Structural, Thermal, Optical Performance) analysis Experience with LOS (Line-of-Sight) Jitter analysis Experience with vibration or shock testing Experience with test fixture design (or other forms of design) Experience with predicting the mechanical behavior of structures using finite element analysis for static and dynamic environments, performing vibration and shock environmental testing, and developing tests to characterize the behavior of structural components. Education/Experience: Master's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace or other relevant field of study
