  • Familiarity with major commercial finite element software such as PATRAN, NASTRAN, ABAQUS, or ANSYS is necessary.
  • Knowledge of NASA standards and specifications, as well as qualification and certification processes related to rocket propulsion systems and man-rated vehicles is highly desirable.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications such as PowerPoint, Excel, and Word is required.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential.

Work Environment:

This position is based in an office environment, requiring the ability to communicate clearly, accurately, and promptly, both verbally and in writing. Interaction with colleagues, management, and clients is a key component of the role. Occasional travel within the domestic USA may be required.
