This posting is for a contract assignment and is not a full-time employment offer with Boeing. Candidates selected for roles will be employed as contract workers through a Boeing approved 3rd party for the duration of the specified project.

About the role

The Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) organization is seeking an Experienced Contractor Structural DaDT Analyst to join the Air Vehicle Engineering team located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. A successful member of this team will understand and execute repairs, modifications, upgrades, and DaDT analysis for the Bombers (B-1 and/or B-52) programs. The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at the Oklahoma City site.

Responsibilities

• Ensures compliance with methodology and processes for stress analysis, DaDT analysis, and finite element modelling in the accomplishment of work
• Performs Failsafe Analyses, durability life calculations, and determines Damage Tolerance for fracture critical parts
• Familiar with Single Flight Probability of Failure methods for determining fleet risk
• Verifies structural integrity by defining requirements for development of analytical methods, finite element models/simulations and other analysis tools to develop the airframe structural environment, characteristics, and performance of the product
• Ensures USAF Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP) requirements are met for airframe analysis and validation
• Calculates inspection intervals for fleet aircraft based upon calculated crack growth rates
• Develops and uses various Finite Element Models for crack growth coefficients
• Understands proper application of loads in FEMs
• Understands industry best practices in airframe primary structure and load paths
• Supports product design and verifies structural integrity by using analytical methods, finite element models/simulations, and other analysis tools throughout the product lifecycle to develop the structural environment, characteristics and performance
• Supports in-service products by investigating failures and analyzing improvements
• Develops analytical processes/tools to improve effectiveness, quality and efficiency of the repair development effort
• Leads repair development, integration and documentation of structural requirements to establish the system design
• Works under minimal direction

Requirements

• Bachelor's, Master's or Doctorate of Science degree from an accredited course of study, in engineering
• Able to independently construct, execute, review, and manage structural finite element models in the area of DaDT
• Expertise in linear elastic fracture mechanics
• Expertise with Paris Law & Spectrum Analysis
• Experience with classic crack growth analysis tools (such as NASGRO, AFGROW, GROWTH, NASA/FLAGRO, and/or BEAS)
• 10 or more years of experience in structural analysis
• 10 or more years of experience in fracture, fatigue, and/or DaDT analysis
• Strong written, verbal communications and presentation skills

Qualifications

• Active U.S. Secret Clearance
• Familiarity with Boeing Books 1, 2, 3 & 4 with an emphasis on Durability and Damage Tolerance
• Experience with Hypermesh, StressCheck, Abaqus CAE, and/or Nastran
• Familiarity with Lifeworks
• Graduate level or Senior level coursework in Fatigue & Fracture Mechanics
• Experience validating or verifying finite element model results
• Experience with structural design principles for aircraft primary structures (e.g., fatigue, damage tolerance, corrosion, stress analysis, statics, materials strength, material characteristics, and repair techniques)
• Experience with Aircraft Primary Structures on Boeing Commercial Derivatives – Commercial and/or Military applications (737, 747, 757, 767 & 777)
