• Ability to independently construct, execute, review and manage structural finite element models in DaDT.
• Expertise in linear elastic fracture mechanics and fatigue analysis.
• Experience with Paris Law and Spectrum Analysis.
• Experience with NASGRO, AFGROW, GROWTH, NASA/FLAGRO, BEAS or similar tools.
• 10+ years in structural analysis and in fracture/fatigue/DaDT analysis.

Responsibilities

• Ensures compliance with methodology and processes for stress and DaDT analysis and FEM.
• Performs Failsafe Analyses, durability life calculations, and damage tolerance for critical parts.
• Verifies structural integrity by developing analytical methods and FEM simulations.
• Ensures ASIP requirements are met for airframe analysis and validation.
• Calculates inspection intervals based on crack growth rates.
• Develops FEM models for crack growth coefficients and validates results.
• Leads repair development and documentation of structural requirements.
• Works under minimal direction.

Boeing is the world's largest aerospace company and leading manufacturer of commercial airplanes and defense, space and security systems. We are engineers and technicians, skilled scientists and thinkers, bold innovators and dreamers. Come join us, and build something better for yourself, for our customers, and for the world. The Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) organization is seeking an Experienced Contractor Structural DaDT Analysts to join the Air Vehicle Engineering team located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. A successful member of this team will understand and execute repairs, modifications, upgrades, and DaDT analysis for the Bombers (B-1 and/or B-52) programs.

Position Responsibilities

• Ensures compliance with methodology and processes for stress analysis, DaDT analysis, and finite element modelling in the accomplishment of work
• Performs Failsafe Analyses, durability life calculations, and determines Damage Tolerance for fracture critical parts
• Familiar with Single Flight Probability of Failure methods for determining fleet risk
• 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
• Ensures USAF Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP) requirements are met for airframe analysis and validation
• Calculates inspection intervals for fleet aircraft based upon calculated crack growth rates
• Develops and uses various Finite Element Models for crack growth coefficients
• Understands proper application of loads in FEMs
• Understands industry best practices in airframe primary structure and load paths
• Supports product design and verifies structural integrity by using analytical methods, finite element models/simulations, and other analysis tools throughout the product lifecycle to develop the structural environment, characteristics and performance.
• Supports in-service products by investigating failures and analyzing improvements.
• Develops analytical processes/tools to improve effectiveness, quality and efficiency of the repair development effort.
• Leads repair development, integration and documentation of structural requirements to establish the system design.
