In this role, you will perform analysis of aircraft structure using classical and finite element analysis methods to develop free body diagrams, calculate internal loads and stresses, and write margins of safety for static strength. You will lead a small team of other stress engineers by mentoring them on technical problems and managing their budget and schedule performance. You will also support the development of engineering estimates for bids and provide input for a monthly labor forecast for your team.</span></p> <p style="margin:0.0in;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif"> </p> <p style="margin:0.0in;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif"><strong>Essential Functions: </strong></span></p> <ul style="margin-bottom:0.0in;margin-top:0.0px"> <li style="margin:0.0in 0.0in 0.0in 5.0px;line-height:107%;font-size:14.0pt;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;color:black">Use classical hand analysis and create finite element models to predict internal loads, displacements, and stresses for complex structure</span></li> <li style="margin:0.0in 0.0in 0.0in 5.0px;line-height:107%;font-size:14.0pt;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;color:black">Collaborate with design engineers to develop aircraft modifications and installations and ensure the design meets airworthiness requirements</span></li> <li style="margin:0.0in 0.0in 0.0in 5.0px;line-height:107%;font-size:14.0pt;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;color:black">Generate free body diagrams and calculate internal loads and stresses</span></li> <li style="margin:0.0in 0.0in 0.0in 5.0px;line-height:107%;font-size:14.0pt;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;color:black">Develop structural tests and post-process the results to establish allowable strength data</span></li> <li style="margin:0.0in 0.0in 0.0in 5.0px;line-height:107%;font-size:14.0pt;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;color:black">Document structural analysis in formal reports to show compliance with airworthiness requirements</span></li> <li style="margin:0.0in 0.0in 0.0in 5.0px;line-height:107%;font-size:14.0pt;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;color:black">Manage personal work to stay within scope, budget, and schedule for assigned tasks</span></li> <li style="margin:0.0in 0.0in 0.0in 5.0px;line-height:107%;font-size:14.0pt;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;color:black">Mentor and lead other engineers in performing structural analysis</span></li> <li style="margin:0.0in 0.0in 8.0pt 5.0px;line-height:107%;font-size:14.0pt;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;color:black">Estimate engineering labor hours for formal bids and manage labor forecasts for a small team of engineers</span></li> </ul> <p style="margin:0.0in;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif"><strong><span style="color:black">Qualifications:</span></strong></span></p> <ul style="margin-bottom:0.0in;margin-top:0.0px"> <li style="margin:0.0in 0.0in 0.0in 5.0px;line-height:107%;font-size:14.0pt;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;color:black">Bachelor’s Degree <span style="line-height:107%;color:black">in mechanical, aerospace, aeronautical engineering, or related field </span>and minimum 9 years of prior relevant experience.
