At Aurora Flight Sciences, we design, build, and fly advanced aircraft and enabling technologies from concept to reality. We are searching for a talented and self-motivated Systems Stress Analyst to help us create the future of flight. Responsibilities will include but not be limited to the following:
-Supervise, lead, and/or perform system analysis using hand calculations and/or finite element analysis methods such as ANSYS, Patran, NASTRAN, or other commercial or developed solvers for a variety of aircraft systems
-Support the design and analysis of air vehicle subsystems, including but not limited to landing gear, steering, braking, flight control actuation, hydraulic systems, mechanisms, ECS, and ground service equipment.
-Lead and/or make valuable contributions to a stress analysis team: discuss solutions and resolve issues for complex, multi-disciplinary problems and produce governing documentation to guide process
-Perform analysis, modeling, and simulation to define and verify requirements for subsystems and components
-Communicate information about vehicle subsystem design, requirements, and performance between the design team, management, customer, subcontractors, and vendors at design reviews, technical meetings, and technical program reviews
-Bachelor's degree or equivalent in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or related discipline.
-At least 5 years of relevant experience in the aerospace industry (or equivalent combination of technical education and experience).
-Demonstrated experience with detailed analysis and sizing of aircraft systems using finite element models and classical hand analysis techniques.
-Experience with engineering analysis software such as ANSYS, MATLAB, FEMAP, NASTRAN, Patran, etc.
-Experience with CAD software (CATIA V5 preferred)
-Experience conducting stress analysis on metallic components and structure
-Effective English written and communication skills.
-Must be a U.S. Person.
-Master's degree or equivalent Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or related discipline
-Experience leading the development of aerospace systems, from conceptual design through production.
-Ability to effectively build and lead small teams.
-Experience conducting stress analysis on composite components and structure
-Experience with project management.
-Experience with system engineering processes, including but not limited to requirements development, system safety analysis (FHA, FTA, FMEA development), and reliability analysis.
-Experience with multi-body dynamics analysis, and/or thermal analysis.
-Candidates must be able to support occasional travel within the US
