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, dynamic environments (shock and vibration), and mechanism motions
Perform loads development (primary structure and component level), shock and vibration environments determination and component and system level testing and data evaluation
Document analysis in formal reports that are clear, adequately detailed, and timely
Define and integrate Dynamics 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 Technical Interchange Meetings, Engineering Review Boards, Test Readiness Reviews, and Design Reviews
Provide rapid analysis results to support trade studies and rapid prototype development
Mentor junior engineers and cross train other engineering fields
