Job Description:

L3Harris is seeking a motivated experienced Lead Mechanical Structural Analysis Engineer to join our team in Orlando Fl. In this role you will lead the structural analysis of aerospace and defense hardware used in flight and ground applications including structural assemblies component installations brackets and support equipment. Working with minimal oversight you will lead complex analyses mentor other analysts and collaborate with design test manufacturing and program teams throughout development integration test production and post-flight data analysis.

As a member of our Mechanical Engineering team you will perform structural and dynamic analyses of complex hardware to support space-bound hypersonic launch vehicles through the different phases of design build test and launch.

Functions:

• With minimal oversight lead structural static and dynamic analyses using classical hand-calculation methods and finite element models for flight and ground-support hardware including structural assemblies component installations brackets electromechanical assemblies and support equipment.
• Establish structural requirements-verification approaches and evaluate complex hardware against internal and customer structural requirements including strength stiffness vibration shock acoustic and other applicable environmental requirements.
• Lead structural dynamics testing including vibration shock and acoustic testing by reviewing test data against requirements and correlating results with structural analysis models.
• Lead the use and evaluation of dynamic response data from launch vehicle missions as applicable to define environments and support structural health monitoring.
• Lead the preparation and technical review of technical analysis reports presentations and other engineering documentation that clearly communicate analysis methods assumptions results conclusions and recommendations.
• Serve as a structural-analysis subject matter expert and lead resolution of engineering change requests build issues nonconformance concerns test anomalies and design trades; provide technical direction for practical resolution of complex hardware issues.
• Provide technical oversight for updates to analysis documentation through notices of revision and track engineering changes through product data management systems.
• Lead cross-functional technical efforts with Integrated Product Teams design manufacturing integration test quality program customer and supplier organizations to resolve structural concerns and influence technical decisions.
• Provide technical guidance mentoring and work-product review for other structural analysts. Develop and implement improved analysis methods automated tools work instructions processes and technical standards that improve quality efficiency or program execution.
• Travel up to approximately 10% to support integration test customer or program activities.
• Ability to obtain a US Security Clearance.

Qualifications:

• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering Aerospace Engineering or a related engineering discipline with minimum of nine years of Mechanical/Stuctural Analysis Engineering experience. Graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering Aerospace Engineering or a related engineering discipline with a minimum of seven years of related lieu of a degree a minimum of thirteen years of related experience.
• 4 years of comprehensive experience independently performing and leading structural analysis of structural hardware and assemblies using classical hand calculations and finite element analysis.
• 4 years of demonstrated experience in several of the following areas: stress analysis vehicle load-path definition strength assessment vibration and shock analysis metallic structures bolted joints composite structures nonconformance assessment or structural test support.
• 5 years experience using finite element analysis tools such as Patran Femap Nastran or equivalent tools.

Preferred Additional Skills:

• 4 years experience leading the preparation technical review and communication of analysis results technical reports and recommendations to cross-functional engineering teams.
• 4 years experience leading structural test-support activities including test planning test procedures data review or reduction vibration testing modal testing static testing or test-to-analysis correlation.
• 4 years experience deriving or evaluating structural loads and dynamic environments from test or flight data.
• 4 years experience developing implementing or improving engineering-analysis methods tools automation processes or technical standards.
• 4 years experience providing technical guidance mentoring or peer review for other engineers or analysts.
• 4 years experience leading technical resolution of complex structural issues such as nonconformances test anomalies design trades or manufacturing issues.
• Experience supporting aerospace defense aviation space or other high-reliability mechanical systems.
• Experience with fatigue damage tolerance fracture mechanics or crack-growth analysis.
• Experience with additional analysis tools such as Ansys or Creo Simulate.
• Experience with composite structures bonded joints or structural optimization.
• Familiarity with launch-vehicle or environmental test requirements such as Military Standard 1540 Space and Missile Systems Center Standard S-016 or Military Standard with aerospace or launch-vehicle environmental test requirements including Military Standard 1540 Space and Missile Systems Center Standard S-016 Military Standard 810 or comparable standards.
