Responsibilities
Perform structural dynamic analyses for spacecraft flight hardware
Produce and maintain models generated from both in-house and commercially available software codes that simulate mechanical loading conditions, dynamic environments (shock and vibration), and mechanism motions
Perform loads development (primary/secondary structure and component level), shock and vibration environments determination, component and system level testing, and data evaluation
Document analysis results in formal reports and presentations that are clear, adequately detailed, and timely
Define and integrate requirements into the system baseline
Prepare test plans/requirements for: static, separation dynamics, vibration, modal, and shock tests. Analyze and document the results in post-test reports
Present analysis and test results at program reviews such as Design Reviews, Technical Interchange Meetings, Engineering Review Boards, and Test Readiness Reviews
