Candidates should understand structure coupling and its effects on shock and vibration mitigation. Expertise in shock analysis methods is required, including transient shock analysis (TSA). Candidates must have extensive knowledge of associated software (ABAQUS, FEMAP, or other specialized commercial or government‑developed analysis software) for shock analysis in all frequency ranges. Candidates must also have experience relating to analytical processes for shipboard systems, associated structure, foundations, and system components.
The prospective candidate will serve as the company’s technical authority on submarine shock and advanced analytics issues affecting the design and construction of shipboard systems, structures, and associated components.
