Analyst II
About the role
The Analyst's role is to utilize theories of physics (classical mechanics, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism) to support design, development, and final verification across a variety of aerospace development programs. The engineer is primarily expected to apply structural design and structural analysis practices to support development from conceptual design phases through to released engineering drawings and stress analysis reports, support test planning, and prepare documentation.
Responsibilities
- Applies theories of physics to engineering problems to quantify and predict system performance, support conops decisions, and support derivation of subsystem requirements
- Affirms structural viability of structures and mechanisms by: Applying an understanding of metallic and composite materials, structural mechanics, statics and dynamics, Generating free body diagrams, determining load paths, calculating reaction forces and internal loads, and developing shear and moment diagrams
- Uses classic aerospace industry analysis techniques (classical hand calculations, finite element analysis, fatigue and damage tolerance analysis)
- Aids with program-level technical oversight to ensure the end product meets all applicable requirements
- Verifies and documents system compliance to requirements
- Supports development of engineering reports and presentations
Requirements
Typically possesses 2-5 years aerospace and/or defense experience
Software proficiency including knowledge of FEMAP, NASTRAN, LS DYNA, CATIA V5, SolidWorks, and Microsoft Office
General aerospace engineering knowledge including structural analysis, FEA, physics-based modeling, dynamics / kinematics, advanced high-strength materials, design and test
