Lockheed Martin Corporation•Huntsville, AL

27d•Onsite

About The Position

As an NGI Staff Loads & Dynamics engineer you will: Perform structural dynamic analyses for spacecraft flight hardware Produce and maintain models generated from both in-house and commercially available software codes that simulate mechanical loading conditions, dynamic environments (shock and vibration), and mechanism motions Perform loads development (primary/secondary structure and component level), shock and vibration environments determination, component and system level testing, and data evaluation Document analysis results in formal reports and presentations that are clear, adequately detailed, and timely Define and integrate requirements into the system baseline Prepare test plans/requirements for: static, separation dynamics, vibration, modal, and shock tests. Analyze and document the results in post-test reports Present analysis and test results at program reviews such as Design Reviews, Technical Interchange Meetings, Engineering Review Boards, and Test Readiness Reviews

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Engineering or relevant technical field; or combination of relevant education/experience
Knowledge and/or experience with static and structural dynamics analysis of spacecraft, aircraft, or missiles
Demonstrated experience with ADAMS Multibody dynamics software, NX Simulation, NASTRAN, LS-Dyna, Wave6, or equivalent
Proficient in programming and use of MATLAB (or equivalent) for analysis and data manipulation
Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance; US citizenship is required

Nice To Haves

Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering/Structural Mechanics program or equivalent from an accredited college/university or equivalent experience with minimum 9 years dynamics experience
Understanding of missile and/or spacecraft structures, statics, strength of materials, structural dynamics principles, and methods
Experience evaluating designs using rigid body or flexible body analysis methods and tools
Proficiency with modern substructure modeling, assembly, and component mode synthesis methods such as Craig-Bampton sub structuring
Proficiency with structural analysis of composite structures, metallic structures, and mechanisms
Proficiency in Finite Element Modeling, modal analysis techniques, and model correlation/verification
Proficiency in Coupled Loads Analysis (CLA) on spacecraft/launch vehicles
Experience in the planning and execution of static, vibration, acoustic, modal, and shock tests for aerospace flight hardware
Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with adjacent disciplines (e.g. systems engineering, aerodynamics, stress analysis, design, test) in a highly integrated team environment
Ability and desire to assume ownership of tasks and drive to closure quickly and efficiently
