Senior Dynamics & Structural Analysis Engineer

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Perform linear and nonlinear finite element analyses of complex electromechanical systems.
• Model transient dynamic events including motion, recoil, firing loads, impact, drop events, transportation loads, and shock environments.
• Work alongside mechanical designers from early concept development through production to make design improvements based on simulation results.
• Ability to clearly communicate complex structural and dynamic behavior to multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Conduct engineering trade studies balancing performance, manufacturability, cost, and durability.
• Write clear, technically rigorous test and analysis reports documenting objectives, methods, assumptions, results, model correlation, conclusions, and recommended actions.

Job requirements

• Experience: 7+ years of mechanical engineering experience developing complex electromechanical systems.
• Educational Background: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
• Expert knowledge of finite element methods. Experience with dynamics, vibration, shock, fatigue, and structural mechanics.
• Experience using ANSYS Mechanical, Abaqus, LS-DYNA, Nastran, or similar tools.
• Experience correlating simulation with physical testing.
• Strong understanding of mechanical design and manufacturing methods.
