Specialist, Aerospace Engineer (Structural Dynamics)

L3Harris is seeking qualified individuals to join our Aeronautical Systems Engineering team as a Dynamics Engineer. In this role, you will perform aeroelastic and dynamic load analyses including frequency response and modal analysis of modifications to primary and secondary aircraft structure including systems and components. Tasks would include determination of dynamic mass and stiffness characteristics. Responsibilities might also include participation in flight tests programs to collect and reduce dynamic data used to develop vibration spectrum, evaluate flutter characteristics, and to determine acoustic profiles. This lead position requires that the candidate supports complex aircraft structural modification programs with minimal direction.

Essential Functions:

• Calculate natural frequencies and estimate mode shapes.
• Loads development for structural analysis that accounts for transient response and dynamic stiffness to be used for impact analysis, aircraft ditching, shock, and vibration.
• Conducting Flutter analysis.
• Support of ground and flight testing.
• Preparation of analytical reports, test plans, and test reports necessary to document the airworthiness of major aircraft modifications.
• Understanding and wide application of advanced principles, theories, concepts and techniques in vibration, acoustics and shock analysis and testing.
• Dynamics environment analysis, requirements specification and tests in support of aircraft design and modification.
• Familiarity with FAA and military aircraft airworthiness certification process and requirements.
• Experience with Finite Element Modeling in MSC Nastran.
• Proficient in MS Office and One programming language.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret DoD Clearance.
• Other duties as assigned by Supervisor.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree with four (4) years of relevant aircraft dynamics experience. 
• Graduate Degree with two (2) years of relevant aircraft dynamics experience.
• In lieu of a degree, minimum of eight (8) years of relevant aircraft dynamics experience.
• Must be a U.S. Citizen.

Preferred Additional Skills:

• Active Secret Clearance.
• Experience with Siemens Femap and LS-DYNA.
• Familiarity with predictive acoustic analysis methods.

• Knowledge of instrumentation and test methods for verification of structural dynamic parameters.
