About the Role

Thornton Tomasetti's Applied Science practice combines structural engineering, computational simulation, and applied research to solve complex problems across civilian and government applications. We are seeking a structural engineer with 3+ years of experience who is interested in applying and developing expertise in finite element modeling (FEM) and analysis. As a Project Engineer in the Applied Science Practice, you will take on a key technical and coordination role, owning complex design challenges, guiding junior engineers, and shaping the delivery of innovative solutions. You will work across disciplines, lead and coordinate multi-disciplinary technical tasks, and step into client-facing opportunities.

Responsibilities

Lead and refine structural analysis, design, and detailing tasks in critical infrastructure applications.
Adapt technical skills and solve project challenges with strong engineering judgement.
Develop, run, and postprocess finite element models to investigate structural behavior, including nonlinear and dynamic response as project needs require.
Assess structural vulnerability to extreme loads and help develop engineering solutions to improve performance and protect structures.
Drive the quality of deliverables by organizing information clearly, reviewing junior engineer’s work, and tailoring output to project scope and contractor needs.
Prepare clear technical deliverables, including calculations, reports, drawings, data visualizations, and presentations.
Coordinate with multidisciplinary project teams, communicate technical findings to colleagues and clients, and contribute to project planning.

Requirements

3+ years of professional structural engineering experience.
PE licensure, or progress toward licensure, is preferred.
Proficiency with structural analysis and design software such as SAP2000, ETABS, RAM, Revit, and Rhino and experience designing steel and concrete systems.
A demonstrated interest in finite element modeling.
Prior academic or professional experience creating, running, and postprocessing FEA simulations is preferred.
Strong technical writing, communication, organization, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage priorities and collaborate across disciplines.
Must be able to secure US security clearance.
Must be a US citizen to obtain US security clearance.
