Job Description:

The Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS), Boeing Space & Launch Engineering is seeking a highly motivated Senior Structural Analyst (Level 5) to perform detailed structural analysis and lead teams to provide solutions to key challenges for the Space Launch System (SLS) program. This position can be staffed in Huntsville, AL or New Orleans, LA. This position will guide product design and verify structural integrity using analytical methods, finite element models/simulations and other analysis tools throughout the product lifecycle to develop the structural environment, characteristics and performance. Senior analyst will need knowledge of structural analysis and design support activities. Also may include the following: develop test plans and configurations, supports test execution and analyzes/reports test results to validate and verify systems and components meet requirements and specifications. Defines and documents certification and test results to substantiate for customers and regulatory agencies that requirements are satisfied. Supports in-service products by investigating failures and analyzing improvements. Works under general direction and provides leadership and direction to engineering teams and leads integrated analysis projects and teams to provide efficient, robust solutions. Position Responsibilities: Conducts analysis processes independently, in consultation with other senior engineers, to support loads analyses. Structural analysis includes independent modeling, analysis and simulations using NASTRAN for all structures and phases of flight. Must be proficient in Structural Integrity analysis including stress, fracture and fatigue. Knowledge of loads and dynamics analysis, structural testing and assessment of structural repairs is also desired. Performance of analysis to assure compliance with structural integrity, stability, loads, fracture and fatigue requirements with direction from the Chief Engineer or other Senior Technical Leads.
