Mechanical Analysis and Strength Engineer (Associate or Mid-Level) Job at Jobs v

Overview

The Boeing Company is currently seeking an Associate (Level 2) or Mid-Level Strength Engineer (Level 3) to join the Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (GSE) engineering design team in Hazelwood, MO supporting Boeing Phantom Works and Air Dominance Military Programs.

This team is responsible for creating a wide range of products to support military aircraft maintenance activity and ground operations for platforms including: F-15, F/A-18, T-7, MQ-25, and others. Basic Ground Support Equipment product examples include aircraft slings, engine installation equipment, landing gear installation equipment, handling dollies, and a variety of subsystems component installation equipment. Mechanical Ground Support Equipment Design is a niche within the aerospace industry that offers mechanical engineers opportunities to learn about and work with most aircraft systems without being tied to one specific area. Candidates proficient and interested in analyzing a wide variety of mechanical devices should apply.

The selected candidate will support the maturation of existing design concepts into deliverable products and have opportunities to provide input and analysis for new designs. The work environment is an office setting, collocated with other mechanical design engineers. Occasional domestic travel may be required to support suppliers.

Responsibilities

• Derive static loads using free-body diagrams
• Perform structural analysis on simple to medium complexity structural components and mechanisms using a combination of hand calculations and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Typical software: Hypermesh, Optistruct, Common Structures Workstation (CSW), StressCheck
• Work with design engineers to incorporate design changes into new products based on analysis, loads, material properties, configurations, safety factors, etc.
• Create strength reports documenting result of analyses
• Evaluate supplier hardware non-conformances and material substitutions
• Participate in informal peer design reviews
• Work under general supervision with advisement from more experienced engineers
