Mechanical / Structural Analysis Engineer – Job Duties

• Perform analytical calculations to compute stresses in structural and mechanical components of cranes, including assessments of static strength and fatigue life for fasteners (welds, bolts, keys), shafts, bearings, and gears. Expertise in industry standards—such as AWS D1.1/D14.1, AISC, CMAA, and AGMA—is required.
• Use tools like MathCad, ANSYS, and proprietary analytical tools (including in-house-developed applications), to perform and present mechanical and structural calculations that comply with standards such as NOG, AISC, ASME, AGMA, CMAA, NUREG, EN, and related codes. Develop tools in MathCAD, Excel, and APDL to standardize and automate these processes, ensuring validation via independent analysis methods.
• Build detailed 3D ANSYS models of overhead, gantry, and jib cranes to simulate behaviors such as trolley and bridge movements, including complex rope dynamics during seismic events.
• Conduct global and local buckling analyses of cranes and components using eigenvalue and nonlinear analysis methods, ensuring compliance with standards like CMAA, FEM, EN, and NOG.
• Optimize structural components such as bridge girders under constraints involving buckling, yielding, fatigue, and geometry.
• (Preferable) Familiarity with additional codes such as ASCE and IBC can be advantageous.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Structural, or Civil Engineering; advanced degrees (Master’s or Ph.D.) are a plus.
• A minimum of 2 years of experience in mechanical or structural calculations for steel equipment; preference given to candidates with around 5 years of experience.
• Willingness and ability to travel both domestically and internationally.

Benefits

• Includes medical, dental, and vision insurance; retirement plan with employer match; profit-sharing; identity theft and accident coverage; travel insurance; annual leave and sick leave; and paid holidays
• Vacation: typically starts at 2 weeks per year (prorated initially), increasing with years of service (e.g., 5–12 years → 3 weeks; 13+ years → 4 weeks).
• Sick Leave: 5 days per year, prorated after 90 days.
• Holidays: 10 paid days per year.
