Staff Structural Engineer

Oceaneering International • Hanover, MD

70d • $136,000 - $184,000

About The Position

In the Structural Engineer and 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 ROV frames, mechanisms, pressure vessels, ship over-boarding equipment, and advanced development projects. You will work with designers 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, and documentation.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical, ocean, or aerospace engineering from an ABET accredited program. Commensurate experience will be considered in lieu of a degree.
• 15+ years of experience in stress analysis.
• Proficient in standard industry analytical methods (hand analysis).
• Proficiency in ANSYS, NASTRAN, or PATRAN.
• Skilled in finite element modeling and analysis.
• Familiar with a variety of analyses including static, dynamic, loads, nonlinear contact, stability, vibration, frequency response, transient shock, DDAM, bolt analysis, weld analysis, pressure vessel analysis using FEA and design guides.
• 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.
