About The Position

Provide project management, as well as analytical, support for various internal
customers regarding:

The development of new products.
The modification of current products.
The overall understanding of product function.

These activities may be performed as the leader of a project team, directing the
efforts of less senior analysts.

Requirements

• 7+ years of work experience.
• Strong mechanical aptitude, combined with an engineering background in the areas of structural mechanics and finite element methods, is strongly required.
• A minimum of seven years of hands-on experience using ANSYS, or another finite element program, is required. A minimum of ten years of engineering experience is also required. An additional degree, beyond the BSME, could be substituted for part of the experience requirement.

Nice To Haves

• Course work related to the Finite Element Method, Fatigue, and Vehicle Dynamics would be strongly preferred.
• Experience using Pro/Engineer, Autocad, EXCEL, or Mathcad is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Manage the analysis process and its impact on the design efforts of the division. Coordinate the work of other analysts and team members, as well as the work of outside consultants.
• Develop product designs via analytical methods to assure product durability and reliability prior to engineering release. These methods could include the use of specialized analysis software, such as ANSYS (FEA), ADAMS (Dynamics), or Fe-Safe (Fatigue), as well as 3D CAD modeling, hand calculations, free body diagrams, curve fitting, etc.
• Apply expertise in analysis software to develop new modeling techniques on a regular basis. These tasks could involve in-depth experimentation, evaluation, and validation of new software features and methods.
• Act as a coach and mentor to less experienced analysis software users. This support may be related to the use of the software, making recommendations regarding the capability of the software, or the interpretation of simulation results.
• Develop automated tools, such as macros or scripts, to automate the analysis process.
