Epirus is a high-growth technology company that develops solid-state, human-safe directed energy systems that enable unprecedented counter-electronics effects and power management solutions to enhance power efficiency in defense and commercial electronics. With a constant emphasis on innovation, we are redefining modern power systems to increase the velocity of change for our customers and bring tomorrow's capabilities to life, today. 

Job objective: This is an exciting role in a growing company. The ideal candidate for the position is someone who has experience performing stress analysis on complex structures and electronics assemblies. In this role, you will work closely with a talented engineering team to analyze and design cutting edge electronic and mechanical assemblies to survive in harsh environments. 

Duties 

• Perform structural finite element analysis (FEA) on complex mechanical structures and electronic assemblies for a range of solution and load types, including static, modal, and structural dynamics (vibration and shock).
• Build finite element models and perform hand calculations to verify structural integrity across Epirus’s product lines.
• Develop and decompose requirements and define bounding load cases.
• Work closely with other engineers to ensure structures survive harsh environments encountered during operation and transport and assist in redesign and optimization of mechanical systems.
• Hold design reviews and presentations with peers and act as an expert structural reviewer 

Required Qualifications 

• BS degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Structural or similar engineering field. 
• 5-8 years of experience in structural/stress analysis of metallic structures. 
• Expert level comfort with Finite Element Analysis and structural hand calculations. 
• Experience with structural analysis and pre/post processing software packages such as Nastran, Ansys, FEMAP, Patran or equivalent. 
• Experience analyzing systems under static loading, shock, and vibrational environments including random vibration. 
• Experience with structural test and qualification of mechanical systems.
• Hold design reviews and presentations with peers and act as an expert structural reviewer
• US Citizen and/or Permanent Resident (future clearance may be required) 

Desired Qualifications 

• Experience performing stress analysis of electronic systems such as circuit card assemblies.
• Experience analyzing actuated mechanical systems including azimuth and elevation pointing mechanisms.
• Good written and oral communication skills
• Collaborative; capable of working across all levels of the organization
• Organized; comfortable working in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment 

At Epirus, we work to create innovative power solutions to solve some of the world’s most complex problems.
