L3Harris is seeking qualified individuals to join our Aeronautical Systems Engineering team as a Senior Specialist Stress Engineer. In this role, you will perform structural analysis of aircraft using classical analysis methods to develop free body diagrams, calculate internal loads and stresses, and write margins of safety. You will lead a small team of stress engineers by technical mentoring and managing budget and schedule performance. You will also support the development of engineering estimates for bids and provide input to a regular labor forecast for you team. Stress Engineers have the opportunity to work on a wide variety of tasks and aircraft modifications on various aircraft platforms.

Essential Functions:

• Use classical hand analysis and/or create finite element models to predict internal loads, displacements, and stresses for complex structure.
• Collaborate with Design Engineers to substantiate aircraft modifications and installations and ensure the design meets airworthiness requirements.
• Document structural analysis in formal reports to show compliance with airworthiness requirements and develop structural tests and post-process the results to establish allowable strength data.
• Mentor and lead other engineers in performing structural analysis.
