Position Type: 12 months assignment with possible extension
Pay rate: $91/hour on w2 without benefits
Shift
Schedule:
8:00 am to 5:00 pm
Job Description:
Ensures compliance with methodology and processes for stress analysis, DaDT analysis, and finite element modelling in the accomplishment of work. Performs Failsafe Analyses, durability life calculations, and determines Damage Tolerance for fracture critical parts. Familiar with Single Flight Probability of Failure methods for determining fleet risk. 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.
Ensures USAF Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP) requirements are met for airframe analysis and validation. Calculates inspection intervals for fleet aircraft based upon calculated crack growth rates. Develops and uses various Finite Element Models for crack growth coefficients. Understands proper application of loads in FEMs. Understands industry best practices in airframe primary structure and load paths. Supports product design and verifies structural integrity by using analytical methods, finite element models/simulations, and other analysis tools throughout the product lifecycle to develop the structural environment, characteristics and performance.
Supports in-service products by investigating failures and analyzing improvements. Develops analytical processes/tools to improve effectiveness, quality and efficiency of the repair development effort. Leads repair development, integration and documentation of structural requirements to establish the system design. Works under minimal direction.
Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):
Bachelor's, Master's or Doctorate of Science degree from an accredited course of study, in engineering. Able to independently construct, execute, review, and manage structural finite element models in the area of DaDT. Expertise in linear elastic fracture mechanics. Expertise with Paris Law & Spectrum Analysis. Experience with classic crack growth analysis tools (such as NASGRO, AFGROW, GROWTH, NASA/FLAGRO, and/or BEAS).
10 or more years of experience in structural analysis. 10 or more years of experience in fracture, fatigue, and/or DaDT analysis. Strong written, verbal communications and presentation skills.
Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):
Active U.S. Secret Clearance. Familiarity with Boeing Books 1, 2, 3 & 4 with an emphasis on Durability and Damage Tolerance. Experience with Hypermesh, Stress Check, Abaqus CAE, and/or Nastran. Familiarity with Lifeworks. Graduate level or Senior level coursework in Fatigue & Fracture Mechanics. Experience validating or verifying finite element model results. Experience with structural design principles for aircraft primary structures (e.g., fatigue, damage tolerance, corrosion, stress analysis, statics, materials 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).
