About The Position

In this Structural Engineer / Stress Analyst position, you will work in a fast-paced environment performing structural analysis using hand calculations and finite element analysis (FEA) on highly loaded subsea structures. These include remotely operated vehicle (ROV) frames, mechanisms, pressure vessels, ship over-boarding equipment, and advanced development projects. You will work with design engineers from a program’s initial stages through structural testing and completion, influence load paths, and ensure structural integrity. The work includes static and dynamic studies and linear and nonlinear structural analysis, including transient shock, fatigue and fracture, bolt and weld analysis, defining load tests, DDAM, and documentation. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and capable of obtaining a security clearance. Applicants with Top Secret/SCI with CI poly are preferred.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering from an ABET-accredited program; years of experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
• 5–15 years of experience in stress analysis.
• Proficiency in standard industry analytical methods, including FEA and classical hand analysis.
• Proficiency in ANSYS, NASTRAN, or similar software.
• Basic proficiency in a 3D CAD platform.
• Familiarity with 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.
