Job Title: Specialist Mechanical Structural Analysis Engineer Job Code: 21639 Job Location : Orlando, FL Job Schedule: 9/80: Employees work 9 out of every 14 days – totaling 80 hours worked – and have every other Friday off Job Description: Aerojet-Rocketdyne Coleman Aerospace, an L3Harris Technologies Company (Coleman) has an immediate opening for a Specialist Mechanical Structural Analysis Engineer to join our Coleman Aerospace team in Orlando, FL. Coleman Aerospace produces complex single, two, and three-stage air-launched target vehicles used to support ballistic missile defense testing and is the Aerojet Rocketdyne segment Center of Excellence for Undersea Propulsion manufacturing. We are seeking a self-motivated individual contributor with junior to mid-level mechanical Structural analysis skills that can help support large, complex project initiatives of substantial importance to the organization, while working under guidance of more senior analysts. Our small team and fast paced atmosphere demands the capability to devise simple solutions to complex engineering problems both independently, and by soliciting inputs from other technical subject matter experts from across the organization. This position may require occasional overtime and travel as required to meet critical schedule milestones. Essential Functions: + Perform structural static and dynamic analyses utilizing classic hand calculation methods and finite element models. + Provide support to structural dynamics testing activities (vibration, shock, acoustic etc.) and assess measured data against requirements. + Analyze dynamic response data from launch vehicle missions to define dynamic environments and for structural health monitoring. + Correlate analysis models and test results. + Provide assessment of the products ability to satisfy internal structural requirements as well as those flowed by the customer. + Report status and results of analysis tasks at team meetings, design and program reviews. + Prepare technical reports documenting all analysis activities. + Travel may be required but typically less than 10% Qualifications: + Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 4 years of prior relevant Mechanical Engineering experience. Graduate Degree and a minimum of 2 years of prior related experience. In lieu of a degree, minimum of 8 years of prior related experience. Preferred Additional Skills: + Experience solving structural analysis problems across the target launch vehicle organization by providing support to resolve our most challenging problems that can include the following topics; stress analysis, loads analysis, vibration and shock analysis, environments derivation, flight data reduction, and fracture mechanics. + Under the direction of more senior analyst, experience supporting innovative solutions and understanding the balance between engineering judgment versus analysis rigor and when each is appropriate. + Demonstrated experience working in several of the following areas: + Analysis of aerospace structures (primary and secondary) + Vehicle load path definition and strength analysis + Perform analysis to support Nonconformances + Dynamic analysis (coupled loads, random vibration, shock, flutter, explicit analysis) + Experience with metallic structures and bolted joints + Linear and Non-Linear stress analysis of metallic and/or composite structures (skin-stringer, fittings, sandwich panels, etc) + Familiarity with classical aerospace sizing methods (Bruhn, Niu, Roark, etc) + Fatigue or damage tolerance and crack growth (hand calcs, NASGRO, VCCT, etc) + Analysis tools PATRAN, FEMAP, and/or NASTRAN + Provide test support including writing test plans, procedures, and reports, data review/reduction, derivation of loads, force / acceleration limiting, correlating tests such as static pull tests, random vibration, sine vibration, modal, etc., and logistics. + Experience within MDA/NASA, the aerospace industry, or related discipline + Ability to manage own time within the program plan requirements. + Excellent written and verbal communication skills. + Experience with other analysis tools: ANSYS, CREO Simulate, etc. + Development of software tools (Excel, Matlab, Python, etc) to support the detailed analysis and optimization of aerospace structures. + Identification of opportunities for analysis efficiency improvements. + Experience with composites and bonded joints. + Structural optimization using standard industry codes. + Experience in non-conforming material review of root cause / corrective action and disposition instructions. + Experience with White Belt training, lean manufacturing, and/or 6-sigma practices. + Ability to use Creo to interrogate design models and support model preparation. #LI-KF1 + Familiarity with MIL-STD-1540 / SMC-S-016 / MIL-STD-810, or other launch vehicle test requirements document. + Familiarity with NASA-STD-5020 or other similar fastener design and analysis specifications.
