In the Structural Engineer / Stress Analyst position you will work in a fast-paced environment and perform structural analysis using hand calculations and finite element analysis (FEA) on a wide variety of highly loaded subsea structure such as remotely operated vehicle (ROV) frames, mechanisms, pressure vessels, ship over-boarding equipment, and advanced development projects. You will work with designer engineers from a program’s initial stages through structural testing and completion, influence load path, and ensure structural integrity. The work spans static and dynamic studies, performing linear and non-linear structural analysis including transient shock, fatigue and fracture, bolt and weld analysis, defining load tests, DDAM, and documentation.
Applicant must be a US citizen and have the capability to obtain a security clearance. Applicants with Top Secret/SCI with CI poly are preferred.
Develop load cases and quantify loads for primary and secondary structures.
Perform initial sizing of conceptual structure.
Perform static analysis using industry standard methods (Bruhn, Roark, Shigley).
Perform stress analysis by developing, solving, and post processing large FEA models using ANSYS.
Possess an understanding of converting complex systems into simplified FEA.
Participate in design reviews.
Properly document analysis.
Additional duties as assigned.
Bachelor’s degree in engineering from an ABET accredited program. Bachelor’s degree is preferred; however, years of experience will be considered in lieu of degree.
