Experienced Structural Analysis Engineer

Position Overview

The Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) organization is seeking an Experienced Structural Analysis Engineer to join the Air Vehicle Engineering team located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. A successful member of this team will understand and execute modifications and upgrades for the Bombers (B-1 and/or B-52), AWACS, E-7 USAF and ETS&S programs.

• Develops, integrates, and documents structural requirements to validate airframe stress design, finite element modelling and loadcase assessment.
• Verifies structural integrity by defining requirements for development of analytical methods, finite element models/simulations and other analysis tools to develop the airframe structural environment, characteristics, and performance of the product.
• Coordinates with other engineering groups to establish the product's environment.
• Guides product design and verifies structural integrity by using analytical methods, including classical methods of structural analysis, finite element models/simulations and other analysis tools throughout the product lifecycle to develop the structural environment, characteristics and performance.
• Understands industry best practices in airframe primary and secondary structure and loadpaths.
• Develops test plans and configurations, supports test execution and analyzes/reports test results to validate and verify systems and components meet requirements and specifications.
• Defines and documents certification and test results to substantiate for customers and regulatory agencies that requirements are satisfied.
• Supports in-service products by investigating failures and analyzing improvements.
• Works independently under general direction.
• Works with customers and regulatory agencies to define and maintain certification processes that will ensure requirements are met.
• Develops analytical processes/tools to improve effectiveness, quality and efficiency of the analysis and repair efforts.
• Oversees compliance with methodology and processes for stress analysis and finite element modelling.
• Investigates emerging technologies to develop future product designs to meet projected requirements.
• Works under consultative direction.
• Understands the unique challenges of working a Legacy program that was originally certified using 2D drawings, in contrast to a new development program which is purely Model Based.

The position is 100% onsite in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Candidates must obtain a U.S. Security Clearance and U.S. Citizenship, with an interim and/or final U.S. Secret Clearance post‑start.

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (with a focus on Mechanical, Civil, Aerospace, Aeronautical or Material Sciences).
• Experience in classical methods of structural analysis.
• Experience with Finite Element Models (FEM).
• Strong written, verbal communications and presentation skills.
• Able to independently construct, execute, review, and manage structural finite element models.
• Ability to obtain U.S. Secret Clearance.
• 5 or more years of experience in structural analysis.

• Active U.S. Secret Clearance.
• Experience with Hypermesh, Abaqus CAE, and/or Nastran.
• Experience validating or verifying finite element model results.
• Experience with structural design principles for aircraft primary structures (fatigue, damage tolerance, corrosion, stress analysis, statics, material strength, material characteristics, and repair techniques).
• Experience with Aircraft Primary Structures on Boeing Commercial Derivatives – Commercial and/or Military applications (737, 747, 757, 767 & 777).
