About the position
This position is for a Modeling and Simulation Specialist (Analysis) role supporting research and new product development in Eaton's Mission Systems Division (MSD). The Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Engineer is responsible for the development of high fidelity thermal and structural analyses that support product life cycle development for MSD. The candidate will provide technical oversight and guidance to other M&S engineers based in US and in Global Teams as well as serve as an individual contributor. The product are mostly thermal fluid and dynamic mechanical systems that support aerospace applications. These aerospace applications are diverse and include space life support and propulsion, aircraft oxygen and refueling, and weapons storage and release systems. The M&S engineer should have direct technical experience using high fidelity analysis methods including Finite Element, Finite Difference, and Computation Fluid Dynamics to support both structural and thermal analysis of systems throughout the product life cycle. Similarly, the candidate should have experience model correlation and validation as well as using M&S to compliment test plans and program level risk mitigation. Other critical skills include technical leadership, project execution, and a system engineering approach to problem solving.
Responsibilities
- Develop high fidelity structural analysis using NASTRAN and ANSYS MECHANICAL
- Develop high fidelity thermal analysis using ANSYS Fluent or CFX and other tools as needed.
- Experience developing tools and scripts to pre-process and post process data to evaluate large data sets quickly and efficiently.
- Standard for validating dynamic and vibration FEA with laboratory shaker table test data
- Experience manipulating and accessing CAD data from SOLIDWORKS 3D, CREO or similar tools.
- Collaborate with the product teams leads to understand system operation and associated requirements.
- Document analysis plans for product teams to define model objectives, inputs and outputs, limitations/assumptions, and description of expected results.
- Estimate labor hours and duration to complete modeling tasks and peer review those provided by global team or other MSD engineers.
- Provide technical oversight of global teams involved in structural and thermal modeling which include informal technical reviews, responsibility of technical quality/completeness of work products delivered to product teams, and ownership of model transition plans.
- Provide technical guidance to other M&S engineers within MSD conducting thermal or stress analysis which may include developing initial analysis plans, support with tools, and peer review of results.
- Champion for the adoption of modeling and simulation with the product teams.
- Suggest productivity improvements and support product teams in developing value propositions for leveraging model-based engineering initiatives.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited institution.
- Minimum 7 years of experience conducting thermal/fluid and/or structural/vibration analysis of mechanical systems and components.
- Minimum of 1 years of experience of project and or functional management of modeling and simulation work scope.
- Prior experience with ANSYS Mechanical and/or ANSYS Fluent.
- Must be able to work in the United States without corporate sponsorship now and within the future.
- This position requires use of information or access to hardware which is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and requires access to export-controlled information.
Nice-to-haves
- Master's degree in engineering discipline preferred.
- 7-9 years of experience with thermal fluid analysis.
- 7-9 years of experience with structural stress vibration analysis.
- Direct experience with ANSYS Mechanical, ANSYS Fluent, and NASTRAN.
- Demonstrated experience working with global M&S teams.
- Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) Green Belt certification or ability to complete within 1 year.
Benefits
- Health and Welfare benefits
- Retirement benefits
- Programs that provide for paid and unpaid time away from work
