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) and system level testing and data evaluation
Prepare test plans; static, separation dynamics, etc., 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
