Jr Structural Engineer Responsibilities Include:
Assist in research, development, testing, and evaluation of forced entry, ballistic, vehicle anti-ram, and blast-resistant technologies, materials, designs, and construction systems.
Provide input on design standards, protective materials, and construction methods for existing structures, buildings under construction, and new building designs.
Support the design and construction of blast-resistant buildings and the implementation of blast mitigation measures for existing facilities.
Contribute to the development and improvement of anti-ram vehicle barriers and structural elements that enhance forced entry and ballistic resistance.
Offer guidance on blast effect vulnerabilities and protective designs for existing and new structures.
Utilize structural engineering research methods to support the design and construction of blast-resistant infrastructure.
Perform computer modeling of structural responses to dynamic loading events.
Apply software tools such as CAD, BlastX (USACE), graphing/plotting programs, and standard office productivity software.
Lead research and development efforts in physical protection systems for overseas facilities against terrorist attacks.
Design and oversee implementation of blast-resistant structures for both new construction and upgrades to existing buildings.
Develop and evaluate anti-ram vehicle barrier systems to improve standoff distances from potential explosive threats.
Design advanced structural elements to enhance protection against forced entry and ballistic threats.
Provide technical guidance on blast vulnerabilities and protective solutions for both existing and in-design facilities.
Deliver support during blast testing activities and interpret results for application to real-world structures.
Conduct advanced structural modeling and simulations related to dynamic and blast loading using specialized software.
Maintain working knowledge and practical use of CAD, BlastX (USACE), graphing/plotting tools, and general office software.
Collaborate with industry committees and standards bodies; active membership in ASCE's Blast, Shock, and Vibratory Committee and ASTM is preferred.
Jr Structural Engineer Experience, Education, Skills, Abilities requested:
Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology, Construction Management, Mechanical, Structural, or Civil Engineering from an accredited university is required.
Minimum of three (3) years of relevant experience, specifically in the design, fabrication, and construction of forced entry/ballistic resistant (FE/BR) and blast mitigation systems.
Demonstrated knowledge and experience in the following areas:
Design of blast-resistant buildings for both new construction and retrofit projects
Implementation of blast mitigation measures for existing facilities
Development and enhancement of anti-ram vehicle barrier systems to increase standoff distance from vehicle-borne threats
Design and advancement of structural elements that improve protection against forced entry and ballistic threats
