Solutions for Defense include enterprise and mission IT, large-scale intelligence systems, command and control, geospatial and data analytics, cybersecurity, logistics, training, and intelligence analysis and operations support. Our team is solving the world’s toughest security challenges for customers with “can’t fail” missions.\nLeidos Defense is seeking a Lead Thermal/Stress Analyst to join our team in Huntsville Alabama designing and analyzing the next generation of defense systems to protect America and its allies. You will perform stress and thermal analysis to support the design of cutting edge aerospace and defense programs. You will collaborate with designers and use Star CCM+ and FEMAP daily to ensure your team’s design meets requirements. You might work alongside the production team to install hardware or verify requirements. Then you’ll work with the testing team to put your hardware into action. This is not your average engineering position. You are applying to be part of a team of the most talented engineers in the region who push you to be better every day. This is a fast-paced program with unique technical challenges that will be a rewarding milestone in any engineering career.\nIf you are up for the challenge of joining this team, then apply now to be considered!\nPrimary Responsibilities\nAre you ready to tackle complex engineering challenges? In this role, you will perform stress and thermal analysis on structural, electronic, and mechanical systems while supporting critical test activities. Assignments may require expertise in stress analysis, thermal analysis, or both.\nStress analysis will involve analytical methods, finite element models/simulations, and advanced analysis tools. You will produce models, perform calculations, reduce data, and correlate test results to ensure accuracy and reliability.\nThermal analysis will include hand analysis methods, finite volume models/simulations, finite element models/simulations, finite difference models/simulations, and other tools. You will conduct detailed steady-state and/or transient thermal analyses using industry-standard programs, producing models, performing calculations, reducing data, and correlating test results to thermal and flow models.\nYou will collaborate closely with design and manufacturing teams to create designs that meet stringent performance, manufacturability, and schedule requirements.\nThis is an in-office position with flexibility in schedule and work location. Remote work is the exception in your week, not the norm.\nBasic Qualifications\nBachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or equivalent degree from an ABET-accredited university and 2 years or less experience. \nDirect experience performing stress and thermal analysis in the aerospace or defense industry.\nDemonstrated experience with commercial finite element analysis tools such as FEMAP/NX NASTRAN, PATRAN/MSC NASTRAN, ANSYS, Abaqus, or similar software is essential.\nProven working knowledge of commercial thermal analysis and CFD tools like STAR-CCM+, Thermal Desktop/SindaFluint, ANSYS, or SolidWorks FlowSimulation.\nStrong technical writing, presentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.\nProven ability to thrive in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary engineering environment.\nCapable of working as part of a larger analysis team or working as the sole analyst on a project.\nU.S. Citizenship is required and eligibility to obtain and maintain a Final Secret Clearance.\nResidency in the Huntsville, AL area or willingness to relocate to Huntsville, AL is required.\nPreferred Qualifications\nFluid lumped capacitance modeling\nElectronics cooling analysis\nThermal analysis of orthotropic materials\nFEMAP/Nastran\nCoupled thermal-structural analysis\nBolted joint and weld analysis\nDynamics analysis (modal, response spectrum, shock, vibration)\nFatigue analysis\nComposite materials\nIf you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling.
