## Description

Leidos Defense is seeking a Lead Thermal/Stress Analyst to join its team in Huntsville, Alabama, designing and analyzing the next generation of defense systems to protect America and its allies.

The successful candidate will perform stress and thermal analysis to support the design of cutting-edge aerospace and defense programs. They will collaborate with designers and use Star CCM+ and FEMAP daily to ensure their team's design meets requirements. The role involves working alongside the production team to install hardware or verify requirements and with the testing team to put hardware into action.

**Primary Responsibilities:**

- Perform stress and thermal analysis on structural, electronic, and mechanical systems while supporting critical test activities.

- Stress analysis will involve analytical methods, finite element models/simulations, and advanced analysis tools.

- Thermal analysis will include hand analysis methods, finite volume models/simulations, finite element models/simulations, finite difference models/simulations, and other tools.

- Collaborate closely with design and manufacturing teams to create designs that meet stringent performance, manufacturability, and schedule requirements.

- This is an in-office position with flexibility in schedule and work location, although remote work is the exception.

**Basic Qualifications:**

- Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent degree from an ABET-accredited university and 2 years or less experience.

- Direct experience performing stress and thermal analysis in the aerospace or defense industry.

- Demonstrated experience with commercial finite element analysis tools such as FEMAP/NX NASTRAN, PATRAN/MSC NASTRAN, ANSYS, Abaqus, or similar software.

- Proven working knowledge of commercial thermal analysis and CFD tools like STAR-CCM+, Thermal Desktop/SindaFluint, ANSYS, or SolidWorks FlowSimulation.

- Strong technical writing, presentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

- U.S. Citizenship is required and eligibility to obtain and maintain a Final Secret Clearance.

- Residency in the Huntsville, AL area or willingness to relocate to Huntsville, AL is required.

**Preferred Qualifications:**

- Fluid lumped capacitance modeling

- Electronics cooling analysis

- Thermal analysis of orthotropic materials

- FEMAP/Nastran

- Coupled thermal-structural analysis

- Bolted joint and weld analysis

- Dynamics analysis (modal, response spectrum, shock, vibration)

- Fatigue analysis

- Composite materials
