Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
• Lead end to end structural dynamic programs for reentry flight hardware, including the development of loads, shock, vibration and acoustic environments at both primary structure and component levels.
• Create, validate, and maintain high fidelity models (in house and commercial tools such as Abaqus, NX/Nastran, ADAMS, Wave6) that capture mechanical loading, mechanism deployment, and separation event responses; generate super element and flexible body models to streamline the dynamic workflow.
• Define, plan, and execute test campaigns (static, modal, separation dynamics, vibration, shock) - from requirement development and test plan authoring through test monitoring, data reduction, and post test reporting.
• Integrate analysis and test data using signal processing and data analysis software (MATLAB, Python) to produce accurate comparisons, identify discrepancies, and refine models.
• Produce technical documentation and deliverables (user guides, data packages, test reports) that support peer and customer reviews; present findings to engineering teams, customers, and program office personnel at design review and technical interchange meetings.
• Interpret and flow down program requirements, develop work breakdown plans, and oversee budget and schedule tracking to minimize cost and cycle time while ensuring compliance with organizational objectives.

Desired Skills:
• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in mechanical or aerospace program
• Experience with Coupled Loads Analysis, superelement reduction methods (ie: Craig-Bampton)
• Experience with Abaqus, Matlab, Wave6, and Python
• Experience leading a team of analysts and collaborating with other teams and disciplines
• Mechanisms, antenna, electronic component, ground support, hoisting, and test support equipment, and composite materials analysis experience
• Utilize software for signal processing and post test data analysis
• Ability and desire to assume ownership of tasks and drive to closure quickly and efficiently
• Creativity/innovation to tackle issues related to anomalous performance of any aspect of a mechanical system
