The analyst will play a vital role in defining architectures and analyzing mechanical systems as part of the product development cycle.
Perform structural and dynamic analysis
Produce and maintain models generated from in-house and commercially available software codes that simulate mechanical loading conditions, dynamic environments (Shock&Vibration), and mechanism motions
Perform loads development (primary structure and component level), shock and vibration environment determination, component and system-level testing, and data evaluation
Document analysis through formal reports that are clear, detailed, and timely
Prepare test plans/requirements for static, vibration, modal, and shock tests. Detail the results in post-test reports and provide evidence of correlation
Present analysis reports and test results at program reviews
Provide rapid analysis results to support conceptual studies and rapid prototype development
Assess and propose new simulation strategies to improve product development
Mentor junior engineers and cross-train other engineering fields
What we need to see:
Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering/Structural Mechanics or equivalent experience; Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering/Structural Mechanics preferred
3+ yrs of experience
Robust understanding of Static/Structural Dynamics analysis and experience with finite element modeling
Proficient with plastic and metallic structures fabricated by various manufacturing methods, general composite technology, and associated structural analysis
Proven ability to collaborate effectively with adjacent teams (e.g., systems engineering, thermal, mechanical design, test) in a highly integrated team environment
Experience with ANSYS, Abaqus, LS-Dyna, Matlab, CREO or similar modeling tools.
Familiarity with modern substructure modeling, assembly technology, and component mode synthesis
Creativity/innovation to implement root cause analysis related to failures of any aspect of a mechanical system
Experience in magnetic systems analysis and motor design
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Experience in the planning and execution of static, vibration, acoustic, modal, and shock tests for server, consumer, or automotive hardware
Experience evaluating designs using rigid body or flexible body analysis methods and tools
Understanding of thermal and thermo-structural analyses
Understanding of automotive, server, and consumer devices, statics, strength of materials, structural dynamics principles, and methods
Proficient in programming and use of MATLAB (or similar) for analysis and data manipulation
