We are looking for a Senior Structural Analyst to own structural analysis across our first flight demonstration and the missions that follow. You own coupled loads analysis (CLA), dynamics test predictions and model correlation, piece-part stress analysis, and vibration and shock analysis of avionics boxes and circuit boards.
- Own CLA for each mission: spacecraft finite element model build and reduction, launch vehicle integration, transient response, and load-cycle delivery.
- Coordinate CLA cycles with the launch provider.
- Lead pre-test predictions for modal, sine, random vibration, shock, and acoustic tests, and post-test correlation.
- Perform static, modal, random vibration, sine, and shock analyses on brackets, fittings, mounts, panels, deployables and mechanisms, and primary and secondary structure.
- Establish and defend margins for yield, ultimate, buckling, fatigue, and fracture per NASA-STD-5001, NASA-STD-5019, NASA-STD-5020, MIL-HDBK-5, and MMPDS.
- B.S. in Aerospace Engineering
- B.S. in Mechanical Engineering
- M.S. (preferred)
- Ph.D. (preferred for Staff level)
- Nice to have: Craig-Bampton reduction
