Uses computational methods and tools in a specialized field (strength of metallic and composite structures, finite element analysis, fatigue and damage tolerance, etc.). Responsible for establishing structural specifications and performing structural analysis on new designs of primary and secondary airframe structure. Experience in stress analysis of subsystems and subsystems installations desired. Required experience with structural mechanics simulation software including NASTRAN and PATRAN. Experience using Altair HyperMesh as a pre-processor and TMP Vision for post-processing desired. Experience with CATIA V5/3DX highly desired. Familiarity with UNIX/LINUX operating systems. Candidate must be capable of interpreting detail, assembly, and installation type drawings and models. Required Minimum skills:
1. Airframe primary structure layout and sizing
2. Hand/Excel based analysis of aerospace structures
3. NASTRAN and PATRAN or HyperMesh Familiarity with Slim, Vision, and IDAT a plus
