Structural Analyst

Corvid's small team in Tucson is looking to add an engineer experienced in high-rate finite element analysis (FEA) to support various tasks with multiple defense customers. This challenging position will use (and develop) internal computational tools to investigate dynamic phenomena including hypervelocity penetration, reactive material physics, material characterization, and weapon system evaluation. Candidates will develop FEA skills, design and evaluate new technologies, present findings to stakeholders, and participate in capture efforts for new programs.

• Performing complex technical analysis, including numerical model development, failure analysis, structural integrity analysis, damage analysis, data reduction, data plotting, and data visualization.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams on projects such as aerodynamics, mechanical design, manufacturing, and testing/prototyping.
• Synthesizing results to present to internal and external stakeholders at various levels of technical understanding.

• Candidate must be a US citizen and meet eligibility to obtain (and maintain) a Secret Clearance.
• Bachelor's Degree in engineering or related discipline (Master's or PhD preferred).
• Experience in material science, numerical methods, and finite element analysis.
