Mechanical Engineer II (Onsite)
About The Position
The Radar, Airborne, and Space Systems Department is seeking a Mechanical Engineer II - Structural Analyst. The role performs structural analysis ranging from classical hand calculations to detailed finite element analysis (FEA) of difficult engineering problems. Analyses evaluate radio frequency (RF) and electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) hardware designs for static and dynamic strength, fatigue, durability, stiffness, thermos-elastic behavior, and other system- and subsystem-level performance measures, including field of view and line of sight. The engineer works under general guidance and is accountable for completing work within agreed cost and schedule. The role includes presenting work in peer and customer reviews and working with customers and engineering leadership to define tests that validate structural analyses and verify compliance with requirements. The engineer also plans and supports testing, performs data reduction, and participates in structural model correlation.
Requirements
- Master’s or advanced degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related STEM major, obtained by the start date.
- Experience performing sizing calculations to determine the scope of higher-detail analysis models.
- Experience performing peer reviews of analyses to validate processes and results.
- Experience performing structural analysis using FEA software.
- U.S. citizenship is required because only U.S. citizens are eligible for the required security clearance.
- Active and existing DoD Secret security clearance required after day one; ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government-issued security clearance is required.
Nice To Haves
- Experience working with Abaqus FEA software.
- Experience with vibration and dynamics.
- Programming skills in tools such as C and Matlab.
Responsibilities
- Perform structural analyses ranging from classical hand calculations to detailed analyses using finite element analysis software.
