Loads and Dynamics Engineer; Level 2 Security Clearance

Position: Loads and Dynamics Engineer (Level 2) with Security Clearance
Job Number 716374

Description:

Space is a critical domain, connecting our technologies, our security and our humanity. While others view space as a destination, we see it as a realm of possibilities, where we can do more - we can innovate, invest, inspire and integrate our capabilities to transform the future. At Lockheed Martin Space, we aim to harness the full potential of space to cultivate innovation, reduce costs, and push the boundaries of what technology can achieve.

We're creating future-ready solutions, focusing on resiliency and urgency through our 21st Century Security® vision. We're erasing boundaries and forming partnerships across industries and around the world. We're advancing spacecraft and the workforce to fuel the next generation. And we're reimagining how space can connect us, ensuring security and prosperity. Join us in shaping a new era in space and find a career that's built for you.

As an NGI Loads & Dynamics engineer you will:

- 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

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or relevant technical field; or combination of relevant education/experience
• Knowledge and/or experience with static and structural dynamics analysis of spacecraft, aircraft, or missiles
• Demonstrated experience with ADAMS Multibody dynamics software, NX Simulation, NASTRAN, LS-Dyna, Wave6, or equivalent
• Experience in programming and use of MATLAB (or equivalent) for analysis and data manipulation
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret clearance, thus US Citizenship is required.
Desired

Skills:

• Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering/Structural Mechanics program or equivalent from an accredited college/university or equivalent experience with minimum 2 years dynamics experience
• Understanding of missile and/or spacecraft structures, statics, strength of materials, structural dynamics principles, and methods
• Experience evaluating designs using rigid body or flexible body analysis methods and tools
• Experience with modern substructure modeling, assembly, and component mode synthesis methods such as Craig-Bampton sub structuring
• Proficiency in Finite Element Modeling, modal analysis techniques, and model correlation/verification
• Proficiency with structural analysis of composite structures, metallic structures, and mechanisms
• Experience in Coupled Loads Analysis (CLA) on spacecraft/launch vehicles
• Experience in the planning and execution of static, vibration, acoustic, modal, and shock tests for aerospace flight hardware
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with adjacent disciplines (e.g. systems engineering, aerodynamics, stress analysis, design, test) in a highly integrated team environment
• Ability and desire to assume ownership of tasks and drive to closure quickly and efficiently
