Loads and Dynamics Engineer / Analyst
- Contract Duration Months
- Pay range $ - $ / hr
Remote
Job Responsibilities :
- Loads and Dynamics Engineer will finite Element Model development, refinement, validation, and correlation to tests
- Rigid and flexible body dynamics
- Modeling, simulation, and verification of spacecraft launch, docking, and landing events
- Acceleration, shock, and vibration measurement and data interpretation of ground and flight tests
- General loads development for spacecraft and related ground systems
- Loads and Dynamics Engineer will support configuration development and trade studies
Qualifications :
- Minimum of a degree in mechanical, aerospace, or civil engineering
- years of experience in the prediction / validation of low and / or high-frequency structural dynamics and loads, in addition to finite element modeling
- Generally we are looking for candidates with things like coupled loads analysis experience, vibroacoustic analysis experience, multibody dynamics experience, and exposure to design limit loads / vibration environment development for programs.
Having experience with stress analysis does not necessarily translated well to the role
In some cases there were candidates that had some exposure, but not with the tools we use regularly (Nastran, Wave, Adams)
- A solid foundation of structural static / dynamic fundamentals
- Passion for spacecraft structural / environmental loads development / validation
- Ability to solve a variety of static and dynamic structural problems using physics-based analytical methods (hand calculations, in-house tools, and rd party commercial analytical tools)
- Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion
- Must be a citizen or national, permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the as a refugee or granted asylum.
Desired :
- Spacecraft and launch vehicle loads development / validation experience
- Hyperworks, NASTRAN, and Matlab proficiency
- LS-Dyna proficiency
- Adams proficiency
- Wave proficiency
- SEA proficiency
- High-frequency environment prediction skills related to spacecraft and launch vehicles
Benefits :
- Medical, Vision, and Dental Insurance Plans
