As a Strength Analyst at ULA Job responsibilities include the following:

Performing strength, fatigue and fracture analysis of structural components, including non-linear analysis for the Recurring Structural Analysis Team.

Candidate will be required to create analysis models, perform hand calculations and have an understanding of analysis best practices to provide strength inputs and recommendations for new designs and installations.

Candidate will be required to review and approve 3-D engineering layouts, 3-D models, designs / drawings and 2-D drawing changes for a variety of propulsion, fluid system and mechanical system components.

Candidate will make engineering design recommendations with consideration of thermal, mechanical and pressure loading using appropriate material properties, configurations, safety factors, etc.

Analysis results will be documented in strength reports.

Candidate will support internal peer reviews, table top reviews and formal design reviews as needed.

Will also need to support fast paced design/analysis cycles and be able to evaluate hardware non-conformances to support production activities.

The engineer must be able to work independently and coordinate their efforts across their functional and product teams.
