Mechanical Stress / Fatigue Engineer

Under general direction, you will improve quality, increase efficiency and/or reduce cost of new and existing products; involvement may begin at any step from ideation to full-scale manufacturing.

To create new laser peening processes, you will direct experiments to collect data which become the basis of FEA models which you will develop. Based on the FEA results, you will design test programs to qualify the laser peening process. You then compile and evaluate test data to determine appropriate limits and variables for process or material specifications.

After a successful test program, you will deploy the laser peening process using a variety of in-house software which you have helped to write, debug, and improve upon. You will regularly build MATLAB tools, and create robot processes using RAPID.

As part of the process deployment, you will define processing equipment requirements and specifications. You will review and improve upon processing techniques and methods applied in the manufacture, fabrication, and evaluation of processes. You will train and hand off the process to technicians, providing support as necessary. There will also be opportunities to work closely with optical and software engineers in the design of the final production processes for customer parts.

Location: Livermore, CA
