Structural Analysis Engineer

Our client is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Structural Analysis Engineer to join their team. As a subject matter expert, you will be responsible for working on a range of structural analysis solutions and load types, including static, nonlinear, thermal distortion, modal, and structural dynamics (vibration & shock).

The Structural Analysis Engineer expertise in MATLAB, Python, and ANSYS will be essential in conducting advanced analysis, optimizing designs, and ensuring the structural integrity and performance of our products.

Responsibilities:

• Perform structural analysis and simulations using various methods, including static, nonlinear, thermal distortion, modal, and structural dynamics (vibration & shock).
• Analyze and interpret results to validate design performance, identify potential issues, and recommend improvements.
• Collaborate with design and development teams to provide engineering input and optimize designs for strength, stiffness, and weight.
• Utilize MATLAB and Python to develop custom analysis tools, scripts, and automation processes.
• Conduct finite element analysis (FEA) using ANSYS to assess structural behavior and response.
• Ensure compliance with industry codes, standards, and best practices in structural analysis.
• The Structural Analysis Engineer will work closely with cross-functional teams to support design reviews, prototype testing, and product certification processes.
• Provide technical expertise and guidance to junior engineers and team members.
• Document analysis methods, assumptions, and results in detailed reports and presentations.
• Stay updated with the latest advancements and emerging trends in structural analysis and simulation.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field. A master’s degree is preferred.
• Proven experience as a Structural Analysis Engineer, specializing in static, nonlinear, thermal distortion, modal, and structural dynamics analysis.
• Proficiency in MATLAB and Python for analysis, scripting, and automation.
• Strong knowledge of ANSYS for finite element analysis (FEA) and structural simulations.
• Solid understanding of structural analysis principles, including strength of materials, mechanics, and structural dynamics.
• Experience with commercial CAD software, such as Solidworks, CATIA, or Creo.
• Proficient in interpreting and analyzing engineering drawings, specifications, and technical documentation.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s or Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience in the aerospace, automotive, or defense industries.
• Familiarity with other structural analysis software, such as Abaqus or Nastran.
• Knowledge of composite materials and analysis techniques.
• Experience with fatigue and fracture mechanics analysis.
• Strong publication record or participation in relevant conferences or industry forums.
