Aerospace Mechanical Design Engineer — FEA & Optimization

Aerosapien Technologies LLC; Ormond Beach (FL); On-site; USD 90,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

Aerosapien Technologies is hiring a Mechanical Design Engineer to advance aircraft structural design through rigorous FE analysis and optimization. You will perform static and fatigue analyses on primary metallic structures, identify load paths, and propose design changes to improve strength, weight, cost and producibility.

Collaboration on PDR/CDR and AR/DER reviews is expected, with supporting production planning and failure analyses.

Qualifications

• Perform static analysis using hand calculations and finite element tools such as NASTRAN/PATRAN.
• Conduct fatigue and damage tolerance analysis of primary metallic structures and structural repairs.
• Identify load paths and recommend design changes for aircraft structures.
• Optimize for strength, weight, cost and producibility; validate Global and Detail FE Models.
• Participate in PDR/CDR processes and AR/DER reviews; prepare strength check notes.
• Support design team with design changes and modifications.
• Plan production for BOMs, resources/tools, and master inspection and routing.
• Create a failure analysis document based on current engineering planning.
• Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering or related field with 5 years of experience required.

Responsibilities

• Perform static analysis and FE modeling to validate designs.
• Assess fatigue and damage tolerance for primary structures and repairs.
• Suggest design changes to optimize strength and producibility.
• Support PDR/CDR activities and review strength notes.
