Senior Structural Analyst

Senior Structural Analyst

As a Senior Structural Analyst you will own the modeling, structural analysis, and testing of components, subsystems, and entire spacecraft.

In addition to being a significant individual contributor, you will mentor and train junior mechanical engineers on such projects. You must have a strong analytical background, hands-on testing skills, and preferably some experience with spacecraft and/or aerospace engineering.

Role

• Perform analysis of complex components, assemblies, and spacecraft to satisfy launch and on-orbit requirements
• Help define structural load requirements and test requirements for components and subsystems
• Lead vibration test campaigns for components, assemblies, and spacecraft that you have analyzed
• Develop and define design best practices for future programs
• Assist in recruiting, interviewing, and hiring additional teammates to our rapidly-growing team

Requirements

• B.S. or M.S in mechanical, aerospace engineering or equivalent
• 4+ years of experience
• Strong Finite Element analysis skills (Femap/Nastran expertise preferred)
• Structural dynamics testing experience
• Experience correlating finite element models based on dynamics test data
• Experience mentoring junior engineers
• Don't meet them all? Not a problem. Please apply even if you do not meet all these criteria.

Bonus

• Experience analyzing and testing composite structures
• Experience defining vibration environments and running mechanical testing on spacecraft and spacecraft components
• Demonstrated ability to personally design, analyze, and procure complex mechanical assemblies with 30+ components in aerospace or similar
• Experience in synthesizing requirements and flowing them down to sub-scale verification builds and testing
• Acoustics analysis and/or test experience
