● Performing structural and thermal analyses to a high engineering standard,
including:
○ Generating and setting up finite element models
○ Running relevant analysis cases
○ Reviewing and interpreting results against defined requirements
○ Preparing high-quality technical reports
● Interpreting system-level requirements and identifying applicable analysis requirements
● Providing technical input to design verification and compliance matrices
● Collaborating with internal teams, suppliers, and customers to address structural and thermal engineering issues
● Supporting the preparation of non-conformance reports, requests for deviation, and waiver documentation
● Participating in customer meetings, such as design reviews, manufacturing readiness reviews, test readiness reviews, and technical review boards

Qualifications:
● Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline
● Practical experience in bolt analysis for strength, gapping, and slippage under dynamic load conditions
● Strong ability to correlate finite element models with physical test data and refine models accordingly
● Capable of clearly and professionally explaining analytical methodologies to customers
● Understanding of reduced-node model generation for integration into spacecraft-level models
● Deep understanding of mechanical and fluidic system engineering principles
● Excellent attention to detail and precision in all analytical work
● Ability to generate, interpret, and critically review procedures and test concepts
● Logical, intelligent approach to problem solving and troubleshooting
● Sound knowledge of safe engineering practices
● High proficiency in PC-based applications and computer-aided design tools
● Strong communication skills with the ability to engage and influence a variety of stakeholders
● Proven ability to perform under pressure and meet project deliverables on time and within budget

Desirable

● Positive, proactive attitude and eagerness to learn and evolve in the role
● Experience with finite element analysis software, preferably ANSYS or NASTRAN
○ Static structural including non-linear analysis
○ ANSYS APDL scripting
○ ANSYS Design Modeller or SpaceClaim
○ Modal analysis, random vibration PSD, shock SRS, harmonic analysis
○ Low and high cycle fatigue analysis
○ Steady state and transient thermal simulations
○ Non-linear thermoelastic analysis of ductile materials
● Candidates with strong experience in other finite element packages will also be considered, provided they demonstrate solid understanding of first-principle mechanics and the ability to produce efficient and accurate models
