## Description

Leidos' Defense Systems is seeking a Stress Analyst to join its team in Huntsville, Alabama, designing and analysing the next generation of defense systems to protect America and its allies.

You will perform stress analysis to support the design of cutting-edge aerospace and defense programs. You will collaborate with designers and use FEMAP daily to ensure your team's design meets requirements. You might work alongside the production team to install hardware or verify requirements. Then you'll work with the testing team to put your hardware into action.

**Primary Responsibilities**

- Apply analytical methods, finite element models, simulations, and other engineering tools to develop models, perform structural and dynamic analyses, conduct calculations, reduce test data, and correlate results.

- Partner closely with design and manufacturing teams to deliver high-performance structures that meet demanding requirements for performance, manufacturability, and schedule.

- This is an in-office position with flexibility in schedule and work location. Remote work is the exception in your week, not the norm.

**Basic Qualifications**

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

- Demonstrated experience with any of the commercial finite element analysis tools (e.g., FEMAP/NX NASTRAN, PATRAN/MSC NASTRAN, ANSYS, Abaqus, etc.).

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

- Proven ability to thrive in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary engineering environment.

- Capable of working as part of a larger analysis team or working as the sole analyst on a project.

- U.S. citizenship and a current Final Secret Clearance,or eligibility to obtain and maintain one.

- Residence in, or willingness to relocate to, the Huntsville, Alabama area.

**Preferred Qualifications**

- Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent degree from an ABET-accredited university with a 3.5 or higher GPA.

- Advanced expertise in:

- Linear and nonlinear contact FEA

- Application of nonlinear material properties to both FEA and hand calculations

- Integrated multi-physics analysis

- Bolted joint and weld analysis

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

- Fatigue analysis

- Composite materials analysis

- Thermal analysis
