Structural Engineer, Advanced Analysis

Under the direction of the principal and project supervisor, the engineer plans and performs engineering analyses of structures, systems, and components for extreme events (e.g. earthquakes, wind, explosions, and impact loads) and unconventional requirements (e.g. innovative materials/construction, resilience, business interruption, rapid deployment, monitoring, etc.). Responsibilities include:

Seismic, Advanced Analysis, Dynamics, Infrastructure

Work on routine problems independently and on project teams.

Perform field walkdown assessments of power generation, national defense, industrial, and petrochemical facilities.

Develop finite element models of structures using commercially available software and perform linear and nonlinear structural analyses using these models.

Perform seismic soil-structure interaction analyses of building structures.

Prepare calculations and reports documenting engineering analyses.

Support various stages of structural design for new structures and retrofits.

Review work by analysts, technicians, draftsmen, and others assisting the project team.

Assist in preparation of proposals, letters, reports, calculations, budgeting, scheduling, and client communication.

0 – 2 years of professional experience in structural engineering.

Master of Science, Master of Engineering, or Ph.D. in Structural/Civil Engineering, or similar field; we are also open to hiring a bachelor's degree candidate who is on track to complete a Master's degree program.

Education must have an emphasis on structural analysis, structural dynamics, concrete/steel structural design, earthquake/seismic engineering, finite element modeling.

Knowledge and understanding of probabilistic concepts such as risk and reliability, uncertainty quantification, random vibrations, and/or stochastic processes is preferred.

Familiarity with commercial finite element analysis computer programs such as ANSYS, ABAQUS, LS-DYNA, GT STRUDL, and/or SAP2000.

Ability to obtain Professional Engineer (PE) or Structural Engineer (SE) registration within five years.

Strong written and verbal English language communication skills.

Ability to interact professionally with technical staff and clients.

Proficiency with use of computer programming and scripting tools for engineering computations, such as Mathcad, MATLAB, Python, and/or VBA.

Ability to travel and perform field inspection of structures under supervision.

May be required to work on projects that are subject to passing a security clearance check.
