Role OverviewAs a Composite Strength Analyst at ULA, responsibilities include performing analysis of composite material structures, creating finite element analysis models, and reviewing 3-D engineering layouts. The engineer must be able to work independently and coordinate efforts across functional and product teams. The engineer will support internal peer reviews, table top reviews, and formal design reviews as needed. The engineer must also be able to work with lead engineers to plan and prioritize individual work and assist in training junior engineers in basic principles.
What You Will Do
Performing analysis of composite material structures, creating finite element analysis models, reviewing 3-D engineering layouts, and making engineering design recommendations with consideration of thermal, mechanical, and pressure loading. The engineer will also be required to run and modify existing finite element analysis models to support updated inputs, design changes, or nonconformance resolution.
Why It Might Be a Fit
The engineer must be able to work independently and coordinate efforts across functional and product teams. The engineer must also be able to work with lead engineers to plan and prioritize individual work and assist in training junior engineers in basic principles. The engineer will have the opportunity to grow in their career while working in a team-oriented culture that combines technology, innovation, and ingenuity.
