Job Title: Structural Analyst-Onsite
Location: Indianapolis, IN
Duration: 6+ Months Contract
Max Pay: $75/hr
Job Description :
Principal Mechanical Engineer, Structural Analyst
The Structural Analyst is responsible for detailed Structural Analysis to support all phases of programs
including development and production of mechanical systems for military environments, with a focus on
aircraft and armament products.
The analyses will cover a wide range of difficult problems, requiring solutions that are imaginative, thorough, practicable, and consistent with organization objectives. The
analysis tasks will span the spectrum from classical hand analyses to detailed analyses requiring the use of finite element analysis software
Qualified candidate should be familiar with developing structural engineering specifications involving metals, non-metallic or composite and bonded structures for
mechanical, armament, aircraft and avionics equipment.
As a Structural Analyst, you will work under
general direction and will be expected to define the scope and level of analysis required to meet
required objectives and will be held accountable for completing the work within the agreed upon cost
and schedule.
While the primary focus of this position is to perform dynamic and static structural
analysis of mechanical structures, the qualified candidate may also be responsible for performing
thermal stress analysis, transient thermal analysis, dynamic testing, and climatic testing.
Additionally, you will be expected to present your work for peer reviews and to be a peer reviewer for
other engineers’ work.technicians and support the completion of test reports to
satisfy customer and program requirements
Required Skill Set :
▪ Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering, or a degree in a related field
▪ 8+ years of professional experience with structural analysis
▪ Deep understanding of structural analysis concepts: Stress/strain, linear/non-linear, static and
dynamic analysis, structural fatigue, fracture and damage tolerance, bolted joints, etc.
▪ Aircraft structural design, electronics structural design, and/or avionics platform integration
structural design
▪ Demonstrated expertise in leading structural testing: planning, organization, instrumentation,
execution, data reduction and correlation
▪ Experience performing Structural Finite Element Analysis using ANSYS or equivalent software
▪ Expertise performing hand calculations based on fundamental equations
▪ Applied work experience managing a group, leading a small team, or serving as a technical lead
▪ Ability to travel to government and other facilities in support of program activities
Desired Skills Set :
▪ Master’s in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering
▪ 10 or more years of experience in the structural analysis of complex systems that require
collaboration of multiple engineering disciplines (such as a weapon system)
▪ Experience with military or aerospace structural environments (i.e. Mil-Std-810 or DO-160)
▪ Experience with aircraft structure: Including primary structure, podded system, bomb racks, or
launchers.
▪ CFD analysis
▪ Development of critical load cases - balancing mechanical loads and thermal loads
▪ Structural integrity analysis to assess static Margin of Safety as well as fatigue life (cumulative
damage index)
▪ Experience with NAVAIR 4.0 and/or SEEK EAGLE airworthiness processes needed to obtain flight
clearance
▪ Thermal analysis experience, especially in military or aerospace environments
▪ Experience with solid modeling CAD tool such as CREO or equivalent
▪ Ability to manage priorities
▪ Ability to work independently
▪ Self-starter
▪ Strong interpersonal skills working in a team environment with positive interaction
▪ Excellent communication skills; both verbal and written
