About The Position

Lockheed Martin Space is seeking a Loads and Dynamics Analyst to join our team in King of Prussia, PA ! As an analyst on the team, you will support loads & dynamics technical work across reentry system programs. You will have the ability to run high‑impact, innovative structural‑dynamic analyses and represent the Loads and Dynamics team in meetings with customers, DOE partners, and program management. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to: Develop 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.

Requirements

Understanding of loads and dynamics analysis through education or experience.
Knowledge of structural dynamic methods or testing.
Static, vibration, acoustic, modal, or shock analysis/test experience.
Experience in mechanical analysis, including finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), or classical hand calculations.
Active secret clearance; must be able to obtain a Top Secret clearance; must be a US Citizen

Nice To Haves

A Bachelor’s or Master's degree in mechanical or aerospace program
Experience using rigid body or flexible body analysis methods
Experience with coupled loads analysis and the super element method (ie: Craig-Bampton)
Experience with Abaqus, NX/Nastran, Matlab, ADAMS, Wave6, and Python
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
Ability to work in a collaborative and highly integrated team environment
Active Top Secret clearance
