The Boeing Company is looking for an M&P Engineer-Modeling/Finite Element located in El Segundo, CA
. This role primarily involves conducting thermomechanical analysis for life predictions and RCCA (root cause correction action), etc. on advanced modeling of structures, assemblies and hardware. This position contains work that is often extremely urgent with many competing priorities. The successful candidate will need to able to execute under pressure and prioritize individual tasks appropriately. In addition, the desire to work on novel, challenging problems to find a solution is a plus!
- Develop CAD/geometry models from engineering drawings, photos, and laboratory data
- Develop and/or select appropriate material properties
- Develop and/or select appropriate nonlinear material models (plasticity, creep, viscoplasticity, hyperelasticity, etc)
- Literature and research review of material properties
- Development, oversight, and interpretation of material testing in laboratory setting
- Develop finite element models of designs and anomalous conditions
- Multiphysics analyses typically including thermal-mechanical stresses but may also include other forms of physical behavior
- Define appropriate boundary conditions to represent problem
- Define appropriate mesh densities to resolve problem details without excessive run time
- Debug models by altering solver settings
- Define and evaluate failure criteria (fatigue, maximum stress/strain, crack propagation, etc.)
- Write clear, concise reports with annotated figures to communicate model results and recommendations. Brief them to high level customers
- Defend results upon peer review including internal and customer consultants.
Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience)
- Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement

- 5+ years of experience with analysis tools (i.e., PSpice, MATLAB, MATHCAD, ANSYS, COMSOL, Mentor Graphics electrical tools, Saber, Zuken E3, Xilinx Vivad)
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or materials and science engineering (with a stress analysis focus)
- Fundamental understanding of differential equations underlying models
- Experience with electronics
- Experience conveying complex problems and solutions to high level customers
Education/experience typically acquired through advanced technical education from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology (includes manufacturing engineering technology), computer science, engineering data science, mathematics, physics or chemistry (e.g. Bachelor) and typically 9 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience or non-US equivalent qualifications. In the USA, ABET accreditation is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard.
Relocation AssistanceRelocation assistance is not a negotiable benefit for this position. Candidates must live in the immediate area or relocate at their own expense
