Responsibilities

Lead end‑to‑end structural‑dynamic programs for reentry flight hardware, including the development of loads, shock, vibration and acoustic environments at both primary‑structure and component levels

Create, validate, and maintain high‑fidelity models (in‑house and commercial tools such as Abaqus, NX/Nastran, ADAMS, Wave6) that capture mechanical loading, mechanism deployment, and separation‑event responses; generate super‑element and flexible‑body models to streamline the dynamic workflow

Define, plan, and execute test campaigns (static, modal, separation dynamics, vibration, shock) – from requirement development and test‑plan authoring through test monitoring, data‑reduction, and post‑test reporting

Integrate analysis and test data using signal‑processing and data‑analysis software (MATLAB, Python) to produce accurate comparisons, identify discrepancies, and refine models

Produce technical documentation and deliverables (user guides, data packages, test reports) that support peer and customer reviews; present findings to engineering teams, customers, and program office personnel at design‑review and technical‑interchange meetings

Interpret and flow down program requirements, develop work‑breakdown plans, and oversee budget and schedule tracking to minimize cost and cycle time while ensuring compliance with organizational objectives

Serve as the primary technical liaison for advanced dynamic‑analysis projects, providing expert advice to internal stakeholders and external customers, and driving innovation across the program
