Descripción de la vacante

Gravitics is seeking a Mechanical/Aerospace engineer to own the structural analysis workflow for large-scale space structures. You will perform stress, deflection, and stability analyses, validate designs with hand calculations, and support test planning and data reduction.

You have 3+ years in mechanical or aerospace engineering, a Bachelor’s degree, and experience with non-conformances, bolts, and FEM/CAE tools.

Formación

• 3+ years of industry experience in mechanical or aerospace engineering.
• Experience with analyzing / dispositioning non-conformances.
• Experience with hand calculations including free-body diagrams for internal and reaction load derivation.
• Demonstrated knowledge of bolted joint calculations (bolt preload, joint stiffness, shear-tension interaction, insert pull-out, etc.).
• Strong experience with classical and aerospace analysis methods (Bruhn, Niu, Roark, Blodgett, Shigley, etc.).
• Understanding of FEM modeling techniques (boundary conditions, bolted connections, contact, verification methods, etc.).
• Mesh generation (ex: mid-surfacing) and understanding of element types
• Analysis of stability critical structures (local buckling phenomenon, global buckling, crippling)
• Experience with development and/or qualification testing (test requirements, setup/configuration, test predictions, test conduct/monitoring, etc.)
• Demonstrated knowledge of vehicle load path and stress analysis of metallic and/or composite structures (pressure vessels, skin-stringer, fittings, sandwich panels, etc.)
• Demonstrated expertise with at least two of the following pre-post/solver codes: SimCenter, FEMAP, Ansys, Nastran, Optistruct, LS Dyna, Hypermesh, Hypersizer, NASGRO, Abaqus, IMAT

Responsabilidades

• Partner directly with design engineers to validate and optimize primary and secondary structural designs for strength, stiffness, weight, cost, and manufacturability
• Perform stress, deflection, stability, and margin of safety analyses using FEM and first-principles hand calculations
• Participate in subsystem test planning, execution, data reduction and analysis
• Analysis checks for designers and junior structural analysts in stress/stability/fracture analysis and best practices
• Prepare technical content and present to internal and external customers
• Ability to perform technical assessment of damage or out of tolerance conditions and provide guidance on repair or use
