What are the responsibilities and job description for the Dynamic Structural Analyst position at Corvid Technologies?
Corvid's small team in Tucson is looking to add an engineer experienced in high-rate finite element analysis (FEA) to support various tasks with multiple defense customers. This challenging position will use (and develop) internal computational tools to investigate dynamic phenomena including hypervelocity penetration, reactive material physics, material characterization, and weapon system evaluation.
This opportunity could use a recent graduate or an experienced engineer - but they must be interested in doing highly computational analysis of systems. Candidates will have the opportunity to develop FEA skills, design and evaluate new technologies, present findings to a variety of stakeholders, and participate in capture efforts for new programs.
Typical tasking will include:
- Performing complex technical analysis, including numerical model development, failure analysis, structural integrity analysis, damage analysis, data reduction, data plotting, and data visualization
- Collaborating with cross-functional teams on a variety of projects, such as aerodynamics, mechanical design, manufacturing, and testing/prototyping
- Synthesizing results to present to internal and external stakeholders at various levels of technical understanding
Requirements:
- Candidate must be a US citizen and meet eligibility to obtain (and maintain) a Secret Clearance
- Bachelor's Degree in engineering or related discipline (Master's or PhD preferred)
- Experience in material science, numerical methods, and finite element analysis
- Fundamental knowledge of structural dynamics with a preference for exposure to high-rate analysis
- Candidate should demonstrate some proficiency in finite element analysis (Ansys, Abaqus, LS-Dyna)
- Working knowledge of CAD and numerical grid generation techniques and applications
- Experience with scripting and language capabilities (i.e. Python) as well as working in Linux is plus
