Full Job Description
Your Role
We have an opportunity for a structural engineer to join TT's Applied Science group. You will apply your structural engineering knowledge and expertise to tasks ranging from applying high fidelity finite element analysis to solve nonlinear dynamic problems to structural design and analysis. Peers and senior staff will work collaboratively with you in an intellectually challenging yet collegial environment.
What You'll Do
Structural analysis and design of structures to conventional design loads.
Conduct nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA), to:
Assess the vulnerability of structures to a variety of extreme loads.
Design engineering solutions to protect structures against the effects of extreme loads.
Investigate root causes of structural failures.
Document the design, development, and analysis process in engineering drawings, reports, data visualizations, and presentations, as required.
What You'll Bring
An MS degree in Structural Engineering, attained within the last two years. An anticipated MS degree by June 2026 will be considered.
Knowledge of finite element analysis (FEA) software and modeling techniques, in an academic or professional setting. Experience creating, running, and postprocessing FEA simulations in ABAQUS, ANSYS, LS-DYNA, or similar.
Experience using coding languages such as Python, MATLAB, C++, or similar is a plus.
Experience in using modeling software such as Revit and Rhino is a plus.
This position will work mainly on US government projects. As part of US government contract requirements, all project staff must be able to obtain a US security clearance. A US security clearance requires the applicant to be a US citizen.
Compensation The rate for this position generally is $85,000 - $95,000 . This range is a good faith estimate provided pursuant to the New York Pay Transparency Law.
