6H6PI3-Equipment & Tool Engineer 3 - 6H6PI3-Equipment &...

Primary Responsibilities: " Perform structural analyses for assigned tooling and production equipment, including static, fatigue, vibration, dynamic, and thermal evaluations, per SOW deliverables. " Build, validate, and deliver FEA models and hand calculation backups that demonstrate structural integrity and support design decisions. " Produce formal stress analysis packages and final reports that document assumptions, loads, boundary conditions, material data, margins, and acceptance criteria. " Create and maintain versioned deliverables: model files, input decks, mesh controls, post processing outputs, and annotated CAD interfaces. " Participate in design reviews, milestone reviews, and production readiness reviews; present analysis results and address Client review comments within agreed response timelines. " Investigate tooling discrepancies, failures, or unexpected behavior; perform root cause analysis and provide documented corrective actions and dispositions. " Develop and maintain reusable stress templates, calculation guides, checklists, and procedures to standardize tooling analysis practices for the tooling community. " Coordinate with cross functional teams (tooling designers, welding, composites, mechanical, lifting/design for safety, controls) to ensure analysis inputs and outputs support integrated tooling solutions. " Ensure deliverables meet contractual acceptance criteria and hand off editable models/reports per Client configuration and repository requirements. " Perform knowledge transfer activities at defined milestones and contract closeout: walkthroughs of models, assumptions, and procedures; transfer of editable files and verification artifacts. " Follow Client contractor onboarding, site safety, export control, and data handling procedures; complete any required trainings prior to work on site or Client systems. Required Skills: " Bachelor's, Master's, or Doctorate in engineering, physics, mathematics, or a related technical discipline from an accredited program. " Minimum 2 years' experience performing structural analysis (static or fatigue) on tooling, fixtures, equipment, or structural members. " Experience building or reviewing 3D CAD models (e.g., CATIA, Creo/ProE, AutoCAD) to derive geometry and interfaces for analysis. " Experience producing clear technical reports documenting assumptions, boundary conditions, loads, material properties, and acceptance criteria. " Proficiency with standard office tools (Microsoft Office or equivalent) and basic configuration/version control practices. " Strong written and verbal communication skills; demonstrated ability to present technical results to engineering and production audiences. " Eligible to work as a contractor under the SOW and perform on Client premises as required. Preferred Qualifications " Mid / Senior experience thresholds: 5+ years related experience (or equivalent). " 3+ years' experience with FEA tools such as Altair HyperWorks, Abaqus, Nastran, Ansys, or equivalent; demonstrated model validation practices. " 3+ years' experience with CATIA or equivalent solid modeling tools focused on tooling. " 5+ years' experience in Tooling Stress Engineering or production tooling support preferred. " Familiarity with welding, below the hook lifting gear, mechanical/hydraulic/pneumatic systems, and composites as applied to tooling assemblies. " Experience working to industry standards, hardware codes, and safety requirements; ability to document compliance and margins. " Experience developing stress templates, guidebooks, or procedures for engineering teams. " Prior contractor experience supporting aerospace production programs and performing formal handoffs of analysis deliverables to host engineering organizations. " Demonstrated track record of resolving production tooling issues, improving tooling safety/usability, or reducing rework through engineering analysis.
