Mechanical Engineer - Loads and Dynamics Security Clearance

Position: Mechanical Engineer - Loads and Dynamics with Security Clearance
Job Number 713453

Description:

Space is a critical domain, connecting our technologies, our security and our humanity. While others view space as a destination, we see it as a realm of possibilities, where we can do more - we can innovate, invest, inspire and integrate our capabilities to transform the future. At Lockheed Martin Space, we aim to harness the full potential of space to cultivate innovation, reduce costs, and push the boundaries of what technology can achieve.

We're creating future-ready solutions, focusing on resiliency and urgency through our 21st Century Security® vision. We're erasing boundaries and forming partnerships across industries and around the world. We're advancing spacecraft and the workforce to fuel the next generation. And we're reimagining how space can connect us, ensuring security and prosperity. Join us in shaping a new era in space and find a career that's built for you.

When you join Global Security (GS), you will be a part of a team that excels at providing national capabilities that help maintain a technical advantage over our adversaries. Our team has a long and proud history supporting missions that contribute to National Security. We are passionate about space, our customers, our company, and our team. One day, the world may hear the full story of your GS achievements and discover the critical role you have played to defeat the enemies of freedom.

Come join the team that is working quietly to keep the light of liberty shining! As a Loads and Dynamics Engineer on GS, you will:
• Perform detailed dynamics design and analysis on spacecraft components and the entire spacecraft system

• Provide test support for component-level and system-level dynamic tests (e.g., random vibration, acoustics, shock, modal)

• Perform coupled loads analysis with our launch vehicle partners to verify spacecraft launch survivability

• Provide technical memos and recommendations to support peer and customer reviews

• Present design and analysis data to spacecraft design/engineering team, customer technical representatives, and Program Office personnel at technical interchange meetings and formal design reviews

• Provide review, interpretation, flow-down, and implementation of program requirements

• Mentor junior engineers

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering (or related technical field) or equivalent experience/combined education

• Expertise with loads and dynamics analysis methods and processes (e.g., modes, mode shapes, modal coupling, rigid and flexible body models, load paths, stress/strain, classical hand calculations)

• Expertise with finite element numerical solution tools (NX & NX Nastran, or equivalent)

• Experience with analysis and test of dynamic environments (e.g., acoustics, random vibration, shock, modal, jitter)

• Active Top Secret or SCI Security Clearance
Desired

Skills:

• A Master's Degree in Engineering (or related technical field) is strongly preferred for this position

• 10+ years of relevant professional experience in dynamics analysis of space structures

• Experience with rigid and flexible body simulation tools (e.g., Adams)

• Experience with engineering level computer programming (e.g. Matlab, Simulink)

• Experience with coupled loads analysis methodology, including Craig-Bampton approach for reducing the size of complex finite element models

• Experience leading analysis efforts in support of conceptual, preliminary, and detailed design activities

• Experience with test engineering, instrumentation, data collection, and/or test reports

• Ability and desire to assume ownership of tasks and quickly and efficiently drive to closure

• Willingness to mentor and develop junior engineers

• Excellent written and verbal technical communication skills
