Location: United States
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Industrial, Process & Manufacturing Engineering

Key Responsibilities

  • •Design and engineer primary and secondary structures using CAD; ensure performance in demanding operational environments.
  • •Perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for static, dynamic, thermal, fatigue, and vibration loads and interpret results to drive design decisions.
  • •Specify and qualify materials and manufacturing processes to meet structural requirements, cost targets, and production scalability.
  • •Prototype, fabricate, and validate prototypes; design and execute structural qualification tests (e.g., shock, vibration, environmental) and analyze test data for design refinements.
  • •Collaborate with Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, and Manufacturing teams to ensure seamless integration of mechanical structures with electronics and other subsystems, optimizing for performance, manufacturability (DFM/DFA), and reliability.

Key Requirements

  • •Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and 3+ years' experience in structural design and analysis for complex mechanical systems.
  • •Proficiency in advanced FEA (static, dynamic, thermal, fatigue, vibration) using ANSYS, Nastran, Abaqus.
  • •Proficient CAD experience (SolidWorks, CATIA, NX) and GD&T.
  • •Solid understanding of materials (metals, composites) and manufacturing processes.
  • •Experience designing and executing structural verification tests and environmental testing; ability to analyze results for design refinement.
