Overview & Responsibilities
Perform and lead structural and finite element analyses of turbomachinery components and systems. Develop appropriate analytical approaches, evaluate results against applicable design criteria, and provide technically sound recommendations to engineering and other stakeholders.
Support complex design evaluations, product development, failure investigations, and corrective actions. Develop and improve analysis methodologies, procedures, documentation, and engineering standards to promote consistency and accuracy across the structural analysis function.
Serve as a technical resource for less-experienced engineers and collaborate with senior structural specialists on advanced analysis methods. The position is expected to progressively develop greater technical independence andsubject-matter expertise in structural mechanics and FEA.
Background & Experience
- BS inMechanical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, or related engineering discipline; advanced technical degree preferred.
- 10+ years of applicable engineering experience preferred, with significant experience in structural analysis or mechanical design.
- Strong knowledge ofstatics, mechanics of materials, stress analysis, and structural mechanics.
- Advanced experience withANSYS Mechanical or comparable FEA software.
- Basic knowledge in the use of Computer Aided Design programs such as CREO.
- Experience performinglinear and nonlinear structural analysis, including contact, bolt pretension, interference fits, large deformation, and material nonlinearities.
- Experience withtransient & steady-state thermal coupled with static structural analysis, including temperature-dependent, and plastic material behavior.
- Experience with pre-stressed modal-to-static structural analysis and harmonic response is a plus.
- Ability to independently establish appropriateloads, boundary conditions, contacts, mesh strategies, and modeling assumptions.
- Experience evaluatingyielding, fracture, fatigue, buckling, joint separation, and other structural failure modes.
- Demonstrated ability to validate analytical results usinghand calculations, reaction-force/equilibrium checks, mesh convergence, and engineering judgment.
- Experience supportingfailure investigations and root-cause analysisand developing corrective design recommendations.
- Working knowledge of applicable industry codes and standards, includingASME BPVC and API standards, preferred.
- Experience withturbomachinery, rotating equipment, pressure-containing components, or similar industrial equipmentpreferred.
- Strong technical communication skills with the ability to clearly document and present complex analytical results.
- Ability to work independently, provide technical guidance to other engineers, and contribute to the development of structural analysisstandards, procedures, tools, and best practices.
- Demonstrated commitment to continued professional development and advancement towardsubject-matter expertise in structural analysis.
- Experience understanding and evaluating residual stresses introduced by manufacturing methods, including machining, forging, and casting, and their influence on structural performance is a major plus.
