Deep South Crane & Rigging, LLC has been a leader in the heavy-lift and heavy-haul businesses since the 1980's. Family owned and operated, we specialize in planning and executing rigging and lifting projects that other companies would call infeasible or impossible. This is made possible in part by the in-house design and manufacturing of our own specialty crane line, VersaCrane, with models ranging from 750 to 3000 tons in capacity. These cranes are specifically designed to work in the tight confines of the petrochemical and power generation industries. This VersaCrane line is exclusive to Deep South, giving us a competitive edge. Along with the VersaCrane line, Deep South owns and operates a variety of other cranes from manufacturers such as Liebherr, Terex-Demag, and Tadano, providing a wide selection of equipment to design solutions that best fit the client's needs. In addition to rigging and lifting operations, Deep South also operates a full line of specialized transportation equipment, allowing us to provide complete turn-key services.

A FEA software engineer within Deep South's VersaCrane department will be part of a team responsible for developing the next generation of cranes and attachments in the VersaCrane line. The software engineer will work closely with the department manager and other team members to continue the development of analysis tools that give Deep South our competitive advantage. This job requires advanced mathematical skill, attention to detail, innovation, and diligence, but is rewarded by seeing your work come to life in our in-house fabrication and testing facilities.

Responsibilities:

• Continue the development and derivation of mathematical methodologies to support advanced lattice analysis.
• Support the VersaCrane department through the continued development and implementation of in-house FEA software for advanced structural analysis of crane components.
• Use existing software to develop crane ratings and associated loadings / forces.
• Debug, modify, and troubleshoot new and existing software, implementing upgrades where applicable.

Qualifications:

• Postgraduate degree is preferred but not required.

• The ability to work and collaborate with a development team.
