Requirements
- Minimum BS in an engineering discipline
- 5+ years of experience in a structures, dynamics, or loads related role with high ownership and accountability for hardware outcomes
- 3+ years of experience with analysis of optomechanical systems including design of athermalized systems and development of structural, thermal, and optical performance (STOP) models
- Experience with performing stress, strain, fatigue and fracture analysis in support of customer requirements sell-off, including airworthiness certification
- Deep understanding of statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, and materials properties
- Proficiency in FEA software (ANSYS, Abaqus, NASTRAN) solution sequences for linear and non-linear static and buckling analyses, modal analysis, frequency response, and random response analyses
- Structural testing experience (static, buckling, cyclic) including sensor selection, data acquisition, and data post-processing
- Proficiency in Matlab or Python (or equivalent) for developing analytical models, data acquisition, and automation
- Highly motivated, self-starting, results oriented, and capable of working in a dynamic environment
- Very organized and willing to establish scope and requirements for ill-defined problems
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
Responsibilities
- Execute hand calculations, spreadsheet, and MATLAB/Python first-order models to inform path forward before jumping into detailed analysis. Use first principles as a basis for every decision and discern the right level of analysis to apply based on state of hardware design and program goals
- Develop appropriate computational models and simulations to predict stress distribution, deformation, fracture, and fatigue life as needed to meet design schedules. Generate, maintain, and correlate integrated FEMs for imaging platforms
- Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to develop structural, thermal, and optical performance (STOP) models for high performance imaging systems
- Develop internal tools and prepare technical reports to present findings to internal teams, management, and external customers
- Work closely with environmental test engineers to support the design, instrumentation selection, execution, and data processing of tests to validate models and predictions, including static, dynamic, and fatigue tests
- Stay current with advancements in stress analysis techniques, materials technology, and industry standards
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with space system dynamics analysis and testing, including force limiting and pyroshock
- Proficiency with Femap and NASTRAN
- Experience with structural analysis of PCBAs
- Advanced Degree (Masters or PhD)
