Job description

The Silicon Valley Office (SVO) of Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA) is looking for a Dynamic Structural Analysis Engineer to join our team. SVO is located in Los Altos, CA and is ARA's Center of Excellence in Nonlinear Dynamic Finite Element Analysis and regularly orchestrates a variety of full-scale testing projects. SVO conducts research and design for structures and materials applications, including crashworthiness and transportation safety, impact, penetration, and fracture and failure analysis. We specialize in complex multi-physics modeling of structures such as automotive, aerospace and rail vehicles, as well as civil structures, in challenging dynamic environments.
Job Location: Position is remote; preferred location is Los Altos, CA, with alignment to the Los Altos, CA ARA office or other ARA locations across the U.S.
Essential Functions:
  • Conduct finite element analyses (FEA) of challenging dynamic structural applications that include contact, nonlinear material behavior, transient heat transfer and fracture using the explicit finite element code LS-DYNA.
  • Construct finite element meshes of complicated geometries.
  • Assist in test planning and test data analysis with potential for onsite test support.
  • Develop digital twins of complex structural tests including test response, data analysis and comparison with simulations.
  • Perform engineering analyses on a variety of structures projects.
  • Identify and qualify new research and development opportunities with government and industry clients.
  • Conduct face-to-face meetings and prepare technical and cost proposals.

Education:
  • A Master's degree from an accredited college or university with major study in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Engineering Mechanics.
  • Graduate level GPA of at least 3.4/4.0.

Required Qualifications:
  • Minimum of 2 years of experience with finite element analysis (FEA).

  • Experience with Hypermesh FEA model preprocessors, CAD software such as Solidworks and the LS-DYNA FEA solver.

  • Experience with solid and/or liquid rocket propulsion.

  • Experience with implicit structural dynamics.

  • Experience with Unix/Linux/Windows operating systems and computer programming languages.
  • Ability to obtain a security clearance, which includes US citizenship.
  • Demonstrated excellent writing, presentation, and communication skills.

Desired Qualifications:
  • Experience with computational fluid dynamics and hypersonics
  • Experience with mechanical testing of materials and structures.
  • Experience with computational modeling of fluid-structure interaction

Compensation & Benefits: Pay Ranges: From $79,000.00 - $130,000.00 per year based on years of experience, degree and any special skills and knowledge that they may bring to the position.
