Responsibilities

Perform structural dynamic analyses for missile and spacecraft flight hardware

Produce and maintain models generated from both in-house and commercially available software codes, that simulate mechanical loading conditions, mechanism deployment motions, and the response behavior of missile segment and spacecraft separation events

Perform loads development (primary structure and component level), shock and vibration environments determination and component and system level testing and data evaluation

Prepare test plans; static, separation dynamics, vibration, modal and shock test execution, and post-test reports. You will be an important part of our product development team, where effective communication is critical

Have the ability to work with a multi-disciplined team performing structural design trades, preliminary and detailed design/analysis activity and performance and maintenance assessments of operational systems

Support dynamic test definitions, requirements development, test monitoring, data reduction, and comparison to analysis efforts

Provide user documentation and recommendations to data packages to support peer and customer reviews, present analysis data to engineering teams, customer technical representatives, and Program Office personnel at technical interchange meetings and design reviews

Mentor junior engineers and cross train other engineering fields

Provide review, interpretation, flow down, and implementation of program requirements, and plan tasks and review budget and schedule to reduce cost and cycle time
