Stress Analysis Engineer

Job Title: Stress Analysis EngineerJob DescriptionPerform detailed stress analysis on flight-critical structural components. Recommend limit and ultimate test loads for qualification testing based on stress analysis. Suggest design improvements to meet qualification test limits and ultimate loads. Conduct dynamic and vibration analysis to determine system performance and optimum parameters, evaluating characteristics such as dynamic spring rate, life, modes, damping, and deflections. Calculate cumulative fatigue damage for structural components under intact and failsafe conditions and develop fatigue test load spectrums for qualification tests. Perform fracture mechanics analysis to assess structural integrity in the presence of an initial flaw. Support structural metallic design and analysis through Finite Element Analysis (FEA), including strength evaluation, stress, internal loads, optimization, stress concentrations, and hyper-elastic element analysis. Perform random, sinusoidal, shock, thermal, and other RTCA DO-160 related analyses. Prepare analysis reports for submission to customers or the FAA for aircraft certification purposes. Review and check analytical results and reports by others to ensure they meet established criteria. Develop special-purpose computer programs and maintain in-house software. Collaborate with engineering, quality, and manufacturing staff in Material Review Board (MRB) activities and investigations to justify the disposition of discrepancies in manufactured or in-service parts. Provide analytical support to design engineers in areas of structural integrity, drawing review, stack-up tolerance, and material selection. Participate in preparing technical proposals with preliminary design, analysis, and technical options. Support development program assignments and participate in internal and customer design reviews, reporting and presenting analytical findings to team and customers. Perform data analysis of vibration and deflection to support testing and test results as needed.Hard Skills
