Description:

You will be the Stress Analysis Engineer - Level 2 for the F-35 Fuselage and MRB Stress Analysis Team which is responsible for delivering high‑fidelity structural assessments that enable safe, reliable aircraft operation.

What You Will Be Doing

As the Stress Analysis Engineer - Level 2 you will be responsible for creating and evaluating structural models that support the F‑35 fuselage and MRB repair processes.

Your responsibilities will include:

• 
  
  • • Create high‑quality finite element model (FEM) meshes, post‑process FEM results, and generate stress packages to support crack correlation for the service‑life analysis team.
  
  
  • • Perform stress analysis on metallic materials, size detail parts, and assess the strength of primary and secondary aircraft structures.
  
  
  • • Support Production and Sustainment Material Review Board (MRB) repairs, ensuring discrepant parts or assemblies meet required strength standards.
  
  
  • • Conduct strength analysis to certify new and existing designs, size components, release drawings, and prepare analysis reports.
  
  
  • • Assist flight‑test instrumentation efforts by performing strength assessments using air‑vehicle FEM and spreadsheet stress analysis, providing data for service‑life evaluation of new brackets and flight‑test hardware.
