Structural Analyst II, Fluid Systems

Role Overview

• Perform and coordinate structural analysis on the Payload Accommodation Fluid Systems of the New Glenn launch vehicle
• Complete hand calculation and FEM analyses to report margins of safety for primary and secondary aerospace structures
• Document stress analysis to support release of engineering drawings / documents
• Collaborate closely with designers, providing technical guidance on design concepts (risk vs. cost vs. performance)
• Support cross organizational teams with input for production activities and configuration development
• Perform analysis checks for designers and junior structural analysts in stress/stability/fracture analysis and standard processes
• Improve enterprise analysis capabilities such as crafting process automation tools for model creation, strength checks, and analysis report generation
• Provide technical guidance and on-site support for manufacturing, production, and integration activities
• Prepare technical content and present to internal customers
• Perform research, develop concepts, and run trade studies

Requirements

• Minimum of a B.S. degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or equivalent
• 3+ years of experience in the structural and dynamic analysis of pressurized components and systems including valves, tubing/piping, pressure vessels
• Experience with FEA analysis tools (ANSYS preferred) including structural, dynamic, and thermal analyses
• Working knowledge of 3D CAD programs (Creo / Solidworks / NX)
• Understanding of FEM modeling techniques (boundary conditions, bolted connections, contact, verification methods)
• Strong fundamental understanding of structural load paths
• Knowledge of manufacturing methods, material selection and component testing
• Familiarity with typical failure modes and standard test methods for both composite and metallic structures (e.g., shear tear-out, net section failure, torsion buckling, interlaminar shear, etc)
• Ability to use structural hand-calcs to make quick effective decisions
• Self-motivated with a strong desire to learn, take ownership, and drive projects to completion.
