Sr Advanced Mechanical Engineer

Pre Screening questions.

 

• What Finite Element software have you used to perform analysis? ANSYS APDL or Workbench (preferred), Simcenter Nastran, Simcenter Femap, LS-DYNA, Solid Edge, Solidworks, Altair HyperMesh
• How many years have you performed finite element analysis (FEA)? Minimum of 4 yr. The more the better.
• What topological optimization tools do you have experience using? Altair Inspire, ANSYS, TopOpt, Siemens NX
• How many years have you performed topological optimization? No minimum requirement, but the more the better!
• How many years have you planned and supported testing of mechanical components? Testing could include random vibration, acoustic ring test, mechanical failure, strain gage placement. No minimum required, but experience would be a plus!
• How many years have you performed analysis on composite materials? No minimum required, but experience would be a big plus!
  
   

KEY RESPONSIBLITIES

The Sr Advanced Mechanical Engineer performs analysis of static structural components and systems for complex gas turbine engines in the exciting and growing aerospace industry. The responsibilities include the analysis, design, development, and testing of static structural components to meet requirements for life, cost, weight, maintainability, and durability. The engineer must analyze and assess stress, strength, vibration, heat transfer, deflection, fatigue life, containment, and material selection. The scope of work includes creation and development of design solutions for newly proposed and existing products. Analytical results will be presented in design reviews and documented to meet program deliverables and requirements. The engineer must be experienced performing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for mechanical components. Applicant must work effectively with design teams, global support, manufacturing personnel, suppliers, customers, and chief engineers.

You Must Have
