Loads and Dynamics Engineer; Level 4 Security Clearance

Position: Loads and Dynamics Engineer (Level 4) with Security Clearance
Job Number 716379

Description:

The coolest jobs on this planet... or any other... are with Lockheed Martin Space OVERVIEW:
At the dawn of a new space age, Lockheed Martin is a pioneer, partner, innovator and builder. Our amazing people are on a mission to make a difference in the world and every day we use our unique skills and experiences to create, design and build solutions to some of the worlds' hardest engineering problems. Our culture encourages employees to dream big, perform with excellence and create incredible products.

We provide the resources, inspiration and focus and if you have the passion and courage to dream big, we want to build a better tomorrow with you. Going to space is just the beginning. It's what you do when you get there that matters. Lockheed Martin builds the satellites and spacecraft that do amazing things in space for government and commercial customers.

Connecting people. Advancing discovery. And protecting what matters most. Lockheed Martin-built satellites give earlier warning of severe weather, connect troops on the battlefield, and deliver GPS directions to a billion people worldwide. As we look to the future, we're driving innovations to help our customers do even more in orbit. That's why we're crafting smarter satellites that operate like smartphones in the sky, with apps that can be updated in orbit so they can adapt as mission needs on the ground change.

Your mission is ours. And as that mission evolves, we'll be ready. Will you? Every day, our 115,000 employees come to work with one focus - our customers' missions. Our customers tackle the hardest missions. Those that demand extraordinary amounts of courage, resilience and precision. They're dangerous. Critical. Sometimes they even provide an opportunity to change the world and save lives.

Those are the missions we care about. Lockheed Martin. Your Mission is Ours. What does this role look like? As an NGI Staff 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 Important Details - The selected candidate will work onsite full-time at our Huntsville, AL campus.

- This role requires an active Secret clearance.

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
• Proficient in programming and use of MATLAB (or equivalent) for analysis and data manipulation
• Active 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 9 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
• Proficiency with modern substructure modeling, assembly, and component mode synthesis methods such as Craig-Bampton sub structuring
