Sr. Principal Airframe Structural Stress Analysis Engineer

Northrop Grumman Northrop Grumman · Aerospace · Clearfield, UT +1 · Mechanical

This role involves performing static, dynamic, and DaDT structural analyses of metallic and composite airframe structure, mechanical systems, and equipment using various software tools. The engineer will ensure designs meet program requirements for weight, cost, and quality, and may derive loads, perform optimization, and collaborate within a team environment. A Bachelor's or Master's degree in a STEM discipline with relevant experience in aerospace structural analysis is required, along with the ability to obtain a Secret clearance.

What you'd actually do

  1. Performing static, dynamic, and DaDT structural analyses of metallic and composite airframe structure, mechanical systems, and equipment, by hand and by using the automated methods and procedures approved for the program
  2. Ensuring that designs meet program requirements and are the lightest, lowest cost, and highest quality products consistent with schedule and budget objectives.
  3. May derive non-flight applied loads, create, extract, and distribute internal loads and perform weight and stiffness optimization utilizing tools such as FEMAP, NX, Teamcenter and other software applications
  4. Candidate must be able to collaborate in a team environment, prioritize and adjust tasks to accomplish the project result, prioritize multiple responsibilities and/or accomplish them simultaneously, and comprehend and analyze complex problems and develop solutions.
