Part-time position: Perform stress analysis to support structural design, systems installations, through detail design.

Execute stress analysis, sizing, and strength assessment of primary and secondary structure and/or sub-system installations. This position will require the ability to perform 3-D modal analysis, static analysis, thermal, cyclic, and transient. Prepare, report, and present technical information in external and internal reviews.

Job Responsibilities and Accountabilities:

• Provide FEM/FEA engineering support during design, development and production of gas turbine engine components and accessories.
• Demonstrate capabilities in optimizing analysis outputs for better performance or design cycle
• Demonstrate meshing techniques to minimize computer run times but provide exceptional quality in results
• Use in-house 3D software/programs during preliminary and detail analysis design (i.e. ANSYS, UG).
• Lead engine and component test groups for stress analysis guidance.
• Provide support to component mechanical design process and component fabrication process.
• Write/prepare/present design reports, test reports and briefings.
• Responsible for engineering team projects with regard to scheduling, quality and standards
• Maintain open and consistent communication with other team members, direct and indirect supervisors to assure quality customer service.     
• Perform structural/mechanical dynamic analysis, which includes shaft critical speeds and unbalance response, engine modal analysis, transient and steady state thermal analysis, high cycle fatigue analysis on gas turbine engines
• Support business development groups or teams in preparing proposal, customer meetings, and farming opportunities.
• Maintain a positive attitude when interfacing with customers, other team members, & supervisors. Look for solutions when identifying problems. Contribute to a positive work environment. 

Job Qualifications and Skills:

• Familiarity with basic gas turbine engine performance a plus.
• Knowledgeable in Microsoft Office suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) 
• Demonstrated ability to perform stress analysis in ANSYS or related software packages
• Strong interpersonal communication skills
• Must have 7+ years of experience
• Previous stress analysis experience of aircraft engine structures and rotating parts is a plus
• Knowledge of classical analysis methods with applications to computer generated analysis and reports
