In the Structural Engineer / Stress Analyst position you will work in a fast-paced environment and perform structural analysis using hand calculations and finite element analysis (FEA) on a wide variety of highly loaded subsea structure such as remotely operated vehicle (ROV) frames, mechanisms, pressure vessels, ship over-boarding equipment, and advanced development projects. You will work with designer engineers from a program’s initial stages through structural testing and completion, influence load path, and ensure structural integrity. The work spans static and dynamic studies, performing linear and non-linear structural analysis including transient shock, fatigue and fracture, bolt and weld analysis, defining load tests, DDAM, and documentation.

Applicant must be a US citizen and have the capability to obtain a security clearance. Applicants with Top Secret/SCI with CI poly are preferred.

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering from an ABET accredited program. Bachelor’s degree is preferred; however, years of experience will be considered in lieu of degree.

• 15+ years of experience in stress analysis.

• Proficient in standard industry analytical methods (FEA and classical hand analysis).

• Proficiency in ANSYS, NASTRAN, or similar. ANSYS is preferred.

• Basic proficiency in 3D CAD platform, preferably SolidWorks.

• Familiar with a variety of analyses including static, dynamic, loads, nonlinear contact, stability, vibration, frequency response, transient shock, DDAM, bolt analysis, weld analysis, fatigue, fracture, structural optimization, and pressure vessel analysis.

• Organizational skills and ability to prioritize daily activities to meet department objectives.

• Very good written communication skills, including the ability to read, write, and understand technical requirements and reports.

Must be able to obtain a security clearance.

• Develop load cases and quantify loads for primary and secondary structures.

• Perform initial sizing of conceptual structure.

• Perform static analysis using industry standard methods (Bruhn, Roark, Shigley).

• Perform stress analysis by developing, solving, and post processing large FEA models using ANSYS.

• Possess an understanding of converting complex systems into simplified FEA.

• Participate in design reviews.

• Properly document analysis.

• Additional duties as assigned.
