• Development of a fatigue damage evaluation method for metallic joints.
• Enhancement of GEM’s existing software package for stress analysis of mechanical structural components with initial defects.
• Performance of design iteration using structural analysis knowledge and computer-aided design techniques.

Position Requirements:

• A minimum requirement is a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with a higher degree preferred. Required knowledge and training in structural design, computational mechanics, and numerical methods.
• Expertise in application of commercial finite element software such as Abaqus for advanced structural analysis and failure prediction.
• Experience in developing user-defined modules for commercial FEM software.
• Proficiency in FORTRAN, C/C++, Python and other scripting languages, familiarity with common software development, testing, debugging, and QA.
• Experience in FEM pre and post processing and using commercial finite element tools.
