What You’ll Do This position is for a Modeling and Simulation Specialist (Analysis) role supporting research and new product development in Eaton’s Mission Systems Division (MSD). The M&S Engineer is responsible for the development of high fidelity thermal and structural analyses that support product life cycle development for MSD. The candidate will provide technical oversight and guidance to other M&S engineers based in the US and in global teams as well as serve as an individual contributor. The products are mostly thermal fluid and dynamic mechanical systems that support aerospace applications, including space life support and propulsion, aircraft oxygen and refueling, and weapons storage and release systems.

Develop high fidelity structural analysis using NASTRAN and ANSYS MECHANICAL

Develop high fidelity thermal analysis using ANSYS Fluent or CFX and other tools as needed

Experience developing tools and scripts to pre‑process and post‑process data to evaluate large data sets quickly and efficiently

Validate dynamic and vibration FEA with laboratory shaker table test data

Experience manipulating and accessing CAD data from SOLIDWORKS 3D, CREO or similar tools

Collaborate with the product teams to understand system operation and associated requirements

Document analysis plans for product teams to define model objectives, inputs and outputs, limitations/assumptions, and description of expected results

Estimate labor hours and duration to complete modeling tasks and peer review those provided by global team or other MSD engineers

Provide technical oversight of global teams involved in structural and thermal modeling, including informal technical reviews and ownership of model transition plans

Provide technical guidance to other M&S engineers within MSD conducting thermal or stress analysis, including developing initial analysis plans, support with tools, and peer review of results
