Mid-Level Structural Analysis Engineer

Mid-Level Structural Analysis Engineer

Company:

The Boeing Company

Boeing Test & Evaluation (BT&E) is looking for a Mid-Level Structural Analysis Engineer to support the Environmental Test Design Engineering team in Berkeley MO.

The primary focus of this position is to support St. Louis Environmental Lab testing for local Boeing Defense & Space (BDS) programs. The design team works in partnership with the lab test teams to provide the designs and hardware needed to complete testing. Test capabilities within the Environmental labs include vibrational/structural dynamics acoustic airflow systems fuel flow systems high temperature flow impingement and environmental control chambers where temperature humidity and pressure are varied.

As a structural analysis engineer you will be responsible for the structural analysis and verification of test fixtures support structures and test-article modifications used in environmental test programs. You will perform strength and fatigue analyses of metallic and composite structural components and document analysis results. Our engineers collaborate closely across multiple technical disciplines and organizations to develop integrated solutions for complex engineering challenges. You will work closely with mechanical design test and facility teams to ensure test hardware meets load vibration thermal and safety requirements.

Boeing St. Louis is building the future creating innovative solutions that will define the next generation of aerospace. As part of this team you will have the opportunity to work on the latest military aircraft and weapons programs such as T-7A F-15 F/A-18 MQ-25 JDAM SDB in addition to Phantom Works proprietary efforts.

Position Responsibilities:

• Define and document load cases boundary conditions and acceptance criteria based on test objectives and facility constraints
• Perform structural analyses (static fatigue modal thermal and dynamic) on test fixtures supports and modified test articles
• Develop and validate finite-element models (FEA) and hand-calculation checks to support design decisions
• Review CAD/assembly models and test setups to ensure structural integrity
• Provide timely engineering guidance to the mechanical design team during concept development and detailed design phases
• Evaluate designs for strength stiffness fatigue life and resonant behavior; recommend mitigations and design improvements
• Participate in design reviews test plan reviews and pre-test readiness reviews
• Support installation instrumentation placement and on-site troubleshooting during test setup and execution
• Produce analysis reports verification documentation and input for test procedures and acceptance criteria

• Support thermal and coupled structural/thermal analyses as required for environmental tests

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):
