Mechanical & Dynamics Engineer

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field. Master’s degree preferred. • A minimum of 5 years of experience performing structural analysis in the space industry. • Understanding of force-limiting techniques. • Pragmatic vibration testing experience (provision of pre-test inputs, test oversight, data reduction). • FEA experience at Spacecraft level. Expert-level knowledge of at least one solver and pre-/post-processor package and cursory knowledge of others (Femap, Patran, Nastran, ANSYS, etc). • Experience correlating FEA models to vibration test outputs. • Can concisely document analysis and test findings in report format. • Possess strong communication and organizational skills. • System-level thinking and approach to problem-solving. • Ability to perform Craig Bampton (CB) model reduction for launch authorities. • Proficient with CAD tools (Solidworks or similar). • Experience designing satellites or other space H/W. • Thermal design and/or analysis experience. Use of ESATAN or Systema-Thermica would be an advantage. • Proven experience in optical payloads integration, or other use-cases where alignment and tolerances are design drivers.
