Job Description 

Structural Mechanics

Position Title: Consulting Engineer – Structural Mechanics MS/PhD

 

 

Brief Business Summary:



The Engineering Mechanics group develops unique mechanical test methods and conducts advanced engineering measurements and computerized structural mechanics, heat transfer and fluid flow simulations in support of the development of new  products and processes.  Further, they provide program development and support to marketing in the area of end-use product design and development for customers.



Job Description / Responsibilities :



Work responsibilities include the application of FEA modeling software and other analytical methods to various  businesses for R&D programs, and in the design and analysis of new products and mechanical processes particularly where it involves the use of  materials.  Guidance on design may involve travel to the plant and vendor sites. Working with CAE designers and engineers is important to develop and improve equipment design. The work also includes development of unique FEA applications to simulate manufacturing processes and nonlinear analysis of advanced materials and structures.  Examples include: simulation of ballistics events such as for soft body and hard armor, blast and storm events such as for safety glass and storm rooms, modeling of tire construction, cooling and thermal fatigue of electronic components, burst and tear resistance of medical packaging, and structural and thermal analysis of polymer processing equipment.  Some travel (typically less than a week per month) both U.S. and International may be involved.
