  • Lead structural analysis for aircraft components, including safe-life management, fatigue failure, and fracture mechanics, using FEA tools (e.g., ANSYS Workbench, ANSYS APDL) and hand calculations.
  • Oversee material and structural concept trade studies to optimize designs for various military airframes (e.g., A-10, B-1, B-2, C-130, F-15, F-16).
  • Develop and document structural integrity methods for test support and certification, ensuring compliance with Air Force ASIP standards.
  • Lead verification and validation efforts, including component, system-level, and airplane-level testing.
  • Mentor Government and client engineers through formal and informal sessions on structural analysis principles and tools.
  • Support safety probabilistic studies, including risk and economic analyses, and contribute to loads and usage spectrum development.
  • Provide expertise on aerospace materials characterization, failure assessment, fatigue nucleation, and corrosion of metallic structures.
  • Present complex analysis results to internal and external customers, including DoD stakeholders.
  • Coordinate across disciplines to ensure designs meet all requirements.

 

Key Must Have’s:

 

  • Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering or related field from an ABET-accredited institution (PhD preferred).

  • 5 years of experience in aerospace materials characterization, failure assessment, fatigue nucleation, fracture mechanics, and corrosion.
  • 2 years of experience with material testing and allowable development for military or commercial aircraft.
  • Proficiency with SolidWorks (2 years) and knowledge of other industry modeling formats.
  • Experience with fatigue life evaluation using strain-life methods and HBM nCode DesignLife.
  • Strong leadership and mentoring skills, with excellent written and verbal communication.
  • US Citizen or permanent residents ONLY.
  • Ability to pass NACI background checks with favorable outcomes (mandatory).
  • Must work on-site at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.
  • 2 years of experience supporting Air Force ASIP, structures, sustainment, or program management.
  • Familiarity with military airframes (e.g., A-10, B-1, B-2, B-52, C-5, C-130, F-15, F-16).

· Travel: not much anticipated (but there could be travel to/from gov’t installations)

Preferred Qualifications:
