The Senior Design & Analysis Engineer - Structural Analysis will use their significant design and analysis background to analyze static and dynamic load cases on Handtools, Storage, and PPE components and assemblies - offering fast, reliable recommendations for revisions to increase robustness and optimize weight, size, and cost. The ideal candidate will be extremely strong in mechanical design with a passion for linear and non-linear Finite Element Analysis.

Duties and Responsibilities Summary

• Directly support New Product Development and Advanced Engineering projects with Finite Element Analysis of components and assemblies, with a focus on stress/strain evaluations

• Conduct linear and non-linear finite element analysis

• Conduct modal analysis

• Conduct deflection analysis

• Conduct fatigue analysis and durability calculations

• Consult with teams on loading and boundary conditions

• Estimate or verify loading conditions based on failure analysis

• Recommend geometry or material changes for design robustness as well as weight, size, and cost optimizations

• Execute analysis on competitive parts and products

• Be highly agile - use highly effective communication skills to quickly understand the depth of work required and provide trade-offs of accuracy versus time to complete analysis. Articulate and prioritize time constraints where needed

• Will receive analysis requests from a variety of customers - must be strong in prioritization, timing, and scope discussions

• Mentor, train, and share knowledge to increase overall FEA capabilities of the department

Job Requirements Summary

• Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering

• 5+ years of mechanical design experience

• 5+ years of Finite Element Analysis experience

• Proficient in CAD - NX, Solidworks, or similar

• Very strong proficiency in Ansys

• Ansys Fluent experience is a plus but not a substitute for professional mechanical design experience

• Ability to quickly grasp component and assembly functionality, determine load cases and constraints, and execute varied complexity levels of analysis depending on criticality and timing to New Product Development team members

• Highly motivated self-driver with never satisfied, always improving attitude

• Strong root cause and failure analysis aptitude

• Candidate must have a very strong design background paired with Finite Element Analysis experience
