Design Engineer III
Insight Global, Burbank, CA, United States
We are seeking a Design Engineer 3 to serve as a subject matter expert in mechanical design and stress analysis (FEA). In this role, you will support projects across the full product lifecycle - including new development, legacy support, R&D, and failure analysis; primarily for high‑pressure, high‑temperature pneumatic and fluid line systems used in commercial, military, and space aerospace applications.
This position operates independently 75%+ of the time and collaborates with cross‑functional teams across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and sales.
Responsibilities
There are two primary job functions: Detailed component design and FEA based stress analysis.
Create conceptual designs (sketches or CAD) for drafting.
Apply principles such as design to specification, DFM, DFI, and cost‑optimized design.
Design metallic components fabricated through sheet metal forming/welding, machining, additive manufacturing, and casting.
Stress Analysis (FEA)
Perform linear & nonlinear static analysis; modal, harmonic, and random response analysis.
Conduct geometry creation, meshing, solving, and technical report writing.
Use tools such as HyperWorks, Femap/NASTRAN, and ANSYS Mechanical.
Cross-Functional Engineering
Work closely with Project Engineers, Drafters, Manufacturing Engineers, Quality Engineers, Test Lab, Contracts, and Sales.
Conduct internal flow and external insulation calculations with in‑house tools.
Automation & Tool Development
Build custom analysis and automation tools using Excel/VBA, MATLAB, Python, and software APIs.
Qualifications
Education
BS in Mechanical, Aerospace, Astronautical, or related field (MS preferred).
Experience
5+ years in an engineering design environment.
6+ years using FEA tools (HyperWorks, Femap/NASTRAN, or ANSYS Mechanical).
4+ years with HyperWorks.
Strong experience in data analysis and reduction.
Technical Requirements
Modal, harmonic, and random response analysis
Topology optimization
MRB disposition of nonconforming hardware
