Structural Engineer IV
About The Position
The Structural Engineer / Stress Analyst performs structural analysis using hand calculations and finite element analysis (FEA) on highly loaded subsea structures, including remotely operated vehicle (ROV) frames, mechanisms, pressure vessels, ship over-boarding equipment, and advanced development projects. The role works with design engineers from initial program stages through structural testing and completion, helping influence load paths and ensure structural integrity. Work includes static and dynamic studies; linear and nonlinear structural analysis; transient shock, fatigue, and fracture analysis; bolt and weld analysis; defining load tests; DDAM; and documentation. The position operates in a fast-paced environment and requires the ability to obtain a security clearance.
Requirements
- U.S. citizenship.
- Capability to obtain a security clearance.
- 15 or more 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.
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering from an ABET-accredited program, or relevant years of experience in lieu of the degree.
