Multi-Body Dynamics Engineer

Overview

Description:

Perform structural dynamic analyses for missile and spacecraft flight hardware. Produce and maintain models generated from both in-house and commercially available software codes that simulate mechanical loading conditions, mechanism deployment motions, and the response behavior of missile segment and spacecraft separation events. Perform loads development (primary structure and component level) and system level testing and data evaluation. Prepare test plans including static and separation dynamics, and post-test reports.

Be an integral part of the product development team where effective communication is critical. Able to work with a multi-disciplined team performing structural design trades, design/analysis activity, and performance and maintenance assessments of operational systems. Support dynamic test definitions, requirements development, test monitoring, data reduction, and comparison to analysis efforts. Provide user documentation and recommendations to data packages to support peer and customer reviews;

present analysis data to engineering teams, customer technical representatives, and Program Office personnel at technical interchange meetings and design reviews. Mentor junior engineers and cross-train other engineering fields.

• Strong foundation in rigid body kinematics and dynamics, including multi-body dynamics (MBD) and related software (MSC Adams preferred).
