  • Perform static, sine, random vibe, and acoustic dynamic analyses and compute strength margins, develop notching, response, and force limiting.
  • Model and analyze sandwich panels, composite materials, and bonded joints, assessing strength based on pertinent failure modes of sandwich composite structures.
  • Review drawings, requirements for materials, structure systems & subsystems, and perform required analyses to demonstrate compliance.
  • Document static/dynamic test plans and procedure requirements.
  • Participate and present in internal and external (customer) design reviews.
  • Strive for the highest possible structural performance that is also cost-effective and assures complete reliability.
  • Manage and track multiple priorities while maintaining a focus towards common project goals of the program team, matrix organization, and customers.
Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) discipline with five or more years of applicable experience; OR a Master's degree in a STEM discipline with three or more years of applicable experience.
  • Spacecraft/Aerospace materials experience for metals, adhesives, thermoplastics, etc.
  • Experience with FEA analysis, preferably ANSYS or Femap/NASTRAN, for structural analysis of designs.
  • Ability to verify validity of simulation results by hand-calcs and/or comparison with heritage programs and to perform bolted joint analyses.
  • US Citizenship is a bona fide requirement.
Preferred Skills and Experience:
  • Experience with structures and mechanisms for moving mechanical assemblies such as solar arrays, booms, and other support structures and mechanisms for satellite subsystems.
  • Demonstrable problem-solving skills with hands-on project experience.
  • Candidate has detailed mechanical design knowledge of structures, mechanisms, release and drive actuators, bearings, and material selection.
  • Working knowledge of applicable manufacturing processes such as machining, finishing, and rapid prototyping.
  • Non-linear and transient FEA analysis.
  • Multibody and flexible body dynamic analyses.
  • Experience with vibration testing of flight hardware.
  • Four or more years of direct Mechanical Engineering experience, preferably in the spacecraft or aerospace industry, with significant project ownership.
  • Ability to work independently as well as in an integrated team and adapt to change and dynamic requirements.
  • Strong communication and analytical skills and discipline with the ability to organize and prioritize job assignments and tasks.
  • Experience with thermal engineering concepts, thermal analysis techniques, and experience utilizing software such as Thermal Desktop.
  • Practical understanding of GD&T (ASME Y14.5).
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Office suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
Salary Range:

$97,500 - $146,300

The above salary range represents a general guideline; however, Northrop Grumman considers a number of factors when determining base salary offers such as the scope and responsibilities of the position and the candidate's experience, education, skills, and current market conditions.
