• Assess loading conditions including static, dynamic, thermal, seismic, environmental, operational, and abnormal/faulted scenarios.
• Generate verified structural analysis reports, design documentation, calculation packages, and interface definitions.
• Support FEA modeling (linear and non‑linear), including material behavior, contact modeling, bolted connections, and load‑step simulations.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with project managers, designers, engineers, fabricators, and suppliers to ensure design feasibility and compliance.
• Participate in design reviews, audits, and configuration‑control processes.

What You Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related discipline; advanced degree preferred.
