Mechanical Engineer Sr

As a Mechanical Engineer, Senior (Structural Dynamics Analyst), you will provide state-of-the-art analysis in the development of a next generation missile or spacecraft. In this role, your work will involve advanced structures, materials, and strategic missile defense and flight systems.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• 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 events.
• Perform loads development (primary structure and component level), shock and vibration environments determination and component and system level testing and data evaluation.
• Prepare test plans; separation dynamics, vibration, modal and shock test execution, and post-test reports.
• 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
• Participate in the review of program requirements with an ability to interpret and plan (or assign) tasks accordingly.

• Experience with the development of space structures
• Knowledge of practical application of modal assessment of flight structures
• Ability to work in a collaborative and highly integrated team environment
• Desire to assume ownership of tasks and drive to closure quickly and efficiently
• Experience evaluating designs using rigid body or flexible body analysis methods and tools
• Mechanisms, antenna, electronic component, ground support, hoisting, and test support equipment, and composite materials analysis familiarity
• Experience with NX/Nastran, Abaqus, ADAMS, LS-Dyna, Matlab, Mathcad, CREO & Wave6
• Static, vibration, modal test experience
• Creativity/innovation to tackle issues related to anomalous performance of any aspect of a mechanical system
