This facility is home to a diverse team of experts in propulsion, structures, fluid mechanics, software, controls, and avionics, all working together to support a U.S. Space Force initiative that ensures rapid access to space for various government clients. Collaboration with multiple launch vehicle contractors across the nation is essential for performing systems engineering and IV&V of their launch vehicles.

This position encompasses a variety of responsibilities, including:

  • Evaluating and estimating loads on launch vehicle flight and mechanical ground support equipment.
  • Assessing the mechanical design of vehicle components, subsystems, and handling equipment.
  • Conducting load and mechanical stress analyses.
  • Overseeing proof load and flight acceptance load testing.
  • Processing, analyzing, and visualizing coupled loads and bending modes analysis.
  • Reviewing requirements and tailoring assessments performed by launch vehicle contractors.
  • Supporting hardware acceptance and pedigree reviews.
  • Producing detailed analysis reports of test and post-flight data.
  • Presenting analysis and predictions to a technical audience in both formal and informal settings.

This role requires collaboration with a multi-disciplinary team to perform independent validation and verification (IV&V) on rocket launch vehicles, ensuring support for launch programs on a demanding schedule.

Travel may be necessary to support launch vehicle provider facilities.

Qualifications:

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Engineering Physics, or a related field with five years of relevant industry experience, or three years with a Master’s degree from an ABET-accredited institution.
  • Proficient in structural analysis, utilizing both closed form and finite element tools for static and dynamic loading.
  • Experience with strain gauge application and data evaluation using tools such as Matlab, NumPy/SciPy.
  • Strong grasp of mechanical design principles and structural analysis, including pressurized systems, modal analysis, and discrete Fourier transform (DFT) frequency domain methods.
  • Solid understanding of structural mechanics, including non-linear stress/strain curves, fatigue and fracture analysis, and thermal stress effects.
  • A foundational knowledge of various engineering disciplines, including aero fluids, dynamics, propulsion, GN&C, and avionics, with a willingness to learn on the job.
  • Practical experience in an engineering environment, including standard processes for evaluating engineering change proposals and supporting Design Reviews (SRR/PDR/CDR).
  • A strong work ethic and self-motivation to learn tools and techniques in other technical areas.
  • The ability to obtain a DoD SECRET or TOP SECRET clearance is required.

Desired Skills:

  • Familiarity with military and industry standards such as MIL-STD-1540/SMC-S-016, AIAA S-110, AIAA S-114, SMC-S-013, and AS9100.
  • Experience in structural and modal testing of space launch vehicle components, subsystems, and payloads, including evaluating test setups and debugging test issues.
  • Experience with anomaly and failure analysis, utilizing fault trees and failure modes and effects analysis.
  • Strong experience in structural analysis with static and dynamic loading.
  • Experience in component development, reliability analysis, and aging surveillance testing.
  • Ability to develop and enhance robust data processing and analysis tools using programming languages such as Python, Matlab, C, or Fortran.
