Job Title:

Flight Sciences Multi-Body Dynamics Engineer – Level 3

Location:

Huntsville, AL (Onsite Only)

Type of Role:
Direct Hire (Full-Time, Onsite)

Shift: 9x80 Schedule (Every other Friday off; onsite in Huntsville)

Pay: $86,000 – $151,000/yr

This role is for a Flight Sciences Multi-Body Dynamics Engineer – Level 3 working at the forefront of spacecraft and missile structural dynamics in a multidisciplinary engineering environment. The engineer will perform structural dynamic and multi-body dynamics analyses for flight hardware, support loads development and dynamic testing, and help ensure system performance and survivability under operational conditions.

• Perform structural dynamic analyses for spacecraft and missile flight hardware, including evaluation of structural response to mechanical loads, mechanism deployment motions, and separation events.
• Develop and maintain multi-body dynamics models using in-house and commercial analysis tools to simulate mechanical loads, deployment dynamics, and separation behavior.
• Support loads development at both primary structure and component levels and contribute to system-level dynamic testing and data evaluation.
• Prepare dynamic test plans, define test requirements, monitor tests, reduce test data, and correlate results to analytical predictions, documenting findings in post-test reports.
• Participate as an integral member of a multi-disciplinary product development team, performing structural design trades, analysis activities, and performance assessments of operational systems.
• Present analysis results and test findings to engineering teams, customer technical representatives, and program leadership at technical interchange meetings and design reviews.
• Support mentoring and cross-training efforts for junior engineers and engineers from adjacent disciplines in structural dynamics techniques.

Bachelor of Science or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline from an accredited college, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

Experience performing structural dynamic analysis and rigid-body/multi-body dynamics modeling for aerospace or missile systems.

Experience with finite element modeling and analysis tools and/or multi-body dynamics codes (in-house or commercial).

Ability to work effectively as part of a multi-disciplined engineering team and to communicate technical results clearly to diverse audiences.

Ability to obtain and maintain an appropriate government security clearance; U.S. Citizenship required.

Experience preparing and executing dynamic test plans, including test requirement development, monitoring, data reduction, and correlation to analysis.

Experience in loads development and assessment of structural performance at component and system levels.

Experience presenting complex structural dynamics and multi-body analysis at technical reviews and customer meetings.

Programming or scripting skills to support model creation, automation, and data processing in structural dynamics applications.

Demonstrated ability to mentor junior engineers and contribute to cross-functional training.
