Responsibilities
Peraton is hiring a Structural Engineer, this role will be a remote position.
The Senior Technical Specialist Structural Engineer will provide structural engineering support to the Structures and Materials Division of the Army's Aviation Engineering Directorate by applying classical structural methods and advanced finite element modeling techniques to evaluate possible new design alternatives, repairs, and/or redesign efforts on US Army Aircraft.
What you will do:
Application of standard practice hand calculations of aircraft and component static stress analysis for validation/verification of structural integrity for new design, modification, or structural repair of airframe and rotor head dynamic components
Application of Finite Element Analysis Techniques to determine load distributions in aircraft structure.
Development of structural airworthiness criteria, structural testing requirements, test witnessing, test plan development, determination of flight envelope restrictions, and analysis of flight strain/loads data.
Review of flight test and specimen laboratory testing data to establish S-N curves and establishment of component fatigue and retirement lives
Review of Airworthiness releases, safety of flight messages, and airworthiness evaluations and reports
Qualifications What you will need:
Minimum of 12 years with BS/BA, 10 years with MS/MA, 7 years with PhD
Experience in Aircraft Structural Analysis with a degree in Engineering
Experience with Classical Stress Analysis Techniques, Finite Element Modeling Techniques, Fatigue/Fracture Mechanics Analysis Techniques, and Aerospace Structures Design
Knowledge of practices/principles necessary to assess advanced systems concepts, assess specifications and develop structural airworthiness requirements
Experience performing structural analysis of airframe structure
Experience performing Finite Element Analysis using NASTRAN, FEMAP, or ANSYS
Knowledge/Experience with structural bench testing, static and fatigue of aircraft structural components
Experience with analysis of rotor head (dynamic) components a plus
Experience structural flight tests, such as Flight Load Surveys
Experience supporting airframe production programs, to include MRB and salvage efforts
Experience with composite structures is desired
Strong Statistical background is desired
