Job Description

 

As Mechanical Engineer II - Structural Analysis you will be responsible for;

  • Analyze mechanical and electromechanical components and assemblies using finite element analysis (FEA) for static structural, and dynamic loads with minimal guidance.
  • Familiar with both solid and shell meshing analysis approaches.
  • Collect, develop, and analyze design inputs.
  • Generate hand calculations to support design decisions.
  • May work under a senior engineer on larger projects.
  • Apply experience, critical thinking, and expertise leading or participating in design reviews.
  • Estimate scope and duration of proposed analysis projects.
  • Provide inputs to project planning, budgeting, scheduling, and tracking.
  • Communicate with vendors, team, and PM for the advancement of projects.
  • Assist in the sales process for quoting and estimating future design and analysis projects.
  • Identify design and product risks and mitigations.
  • Adhere to ALTEN Technology’s Quality System processes.
  • Compile and present complete engineering design and analysis documentation so product designs can be produced while meeting the proper regulatory requirements.
  • Communicate and coordinate with other disciplines including Mechanical Design Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, and Software Engineering.
  • Willingness to work on projects across a wide range of industries (defense, space, aviation, robotics, medical)
  • Willing to act as embedded support for a customer for short durations (i.e., acting as an extension of the customer team). When it occurs, this work can typically be done remotely.

Qualifications;

  • Bachelor’s degree (B.S.) in engineering from an accredited college or university plus 4+ years of engineering analysis and product development experience or Master’s Degree (M.S.) in engineering from an accredited college or university plus 2+ year of engineering analysis and product development experience
  • Strong knowledge of FEA, specifically using Femap with NX Nastran for structural, and dynamic analysis of mechanical components.
  • Knowledge of CAD packages (preferably SolidWorks) and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook).
  • Experience with drone equipment or analysis of composite structures.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills to present and report technical findings.
  • Demonstrated ability to solve complex problems using engineering principles without supervision.
  • Ability to interpret instructions furnished in written, oral, diagram, or schedule form.
  • Ability to share and manage time among multiple projects effectively.

 

Fully Remote

Salary Range: $100,000 - $125,000

The actual salary offered is dependent on various factors including, but not limited to, location, the candidate’s combination of job-related knowledge, qualifications, skills, education, training, and experience
