Experienced Structural Analysis Engineer

Experienced Structural Analysis Engineer

The Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) organization is seeking an Experienced Structural Analysis Engineer to join the Air Vehicle Engineering team located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

A successful member of this team will understand and execute modifications and upgrades for the Bombers (B-1 and/or B-52), AWACS, E-7 USAF and ETS&S programs.

Position Responsibilities:

• Develops, integrates, and documents structural requirements to validate Airframe Stress design and Finite Element Modelling and Loadcase assessment
• 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
• Coordinates with other engineering groups to establish the product's environment
• Guides product design and verifies structural integrity by using analytical methods, including classical methods of structural analysis, finite element models/simulations and other analysis tools throughout the product lifecycle to develop the structural environment, characteristics and performance
• Understands industry best practices in airframe primary and secondary structure and loadpaths
• Develops test plans and configurations, supports test execution and analyzes/reports test results to validate and verify systems and components meet requirements and specifications
• Defines and documents certification and test results to substantiate for customers and regulatory agencies that requirements are satisfied
• Supports in-service products by investigating failures and analyzing improvements
• Works independently under general direction
• Works with customers and regulatory agencies to define and maintain certification processes that will ensure requirements are met
• Develops analytical processes/tools to improve effectiveness, quality and efficiency of the analysis and repair efforts
• Oversees compliance with methodology and processes for stress analysis and finite element modelling
• Investigate emerging technologies to develop future product designs to meet projected requirements
• Works under consultative direction
• Understands the unique challenges of working a Legacy program that was originally certified using 2D drawings, in contrast to a new development program which is purely Model Based

This position is expected to be 100% onsite. The selected candidate will be required to work onsite in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This position requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship. An interim and/or final U.S. Secret Clearance Post-Start is required.

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (with a focus on Mechanical, Civil, Aerospace Aeronautical or Material Sciences)
• Experience in classical methods of structural analysis
• Experience with Finite Element Models (FEM)
• Strong written, verbal communications and presentation skills
• Able to independently construct, execute, review, and manage structural finite element models
• Ability to obtain U.S. Secret Clearance
• 5 or more years of experience in structural analysis

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):

• Active U.S. Secret Clearance
• Experience with Hypermesh, Abaqus CAE, and/or Nastran
• 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)

Relocation: This position offers relocation based on candidate eligibility.
