Job Description
The coolest jobs on this planet... or any other... are with Lockheed Martin Space.
At the dawn of a new space age, Lockheed Martin is a pioneer, partner, innovator and builder. Our amazing men and women are on a mission to make a difference in the world and every single day we use our unique skills, talents and experiences to design and build solutions to some of the world's hardest engineering problems.
Do you want to be part of a culture that inspires employees to envision the impossible, perform with excellence and build incredible products? We provide the resources, inspiration and focus-if you have the passion and courage to dream big, then we want to build a better tomorrow with you.
The Loads & Dynamics Team is seeking a Mechanical Engineer - Structural Dynamics Analyst to provide state-of-the-art analysis for Lockheed Martin's Missile Systems.
In this role you will work on significant analyses involving structures, materials and strategic missile defense and flight systems.
Other Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
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), shock and vibration environments determination and component and system level testing and data evaluation.
Prepare test plans; static, separation dynamics, vibration, modal and shock test execution, and post-test reports. You will be an important part of our product development team, where effective communication is critical.
Have the ability to work with a multi-disciplined team performing structural design trades, preliminary and detailed 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.
Provide review, interpretation, flow down, and implementation of program requirements, and plan tasks and review budget and schedule to reduce cost and cycle time.
Basic Qualifications
Advanced understanding of structural dynamics through education or equivalent experience
Extensive experience with spacecraft vibroacoustic test methods including classical hand calculations and experience with mechanical joints
Experience with NASTRAN static and dynamic solutions and finite element modeling using NX or equivalent
Proficiency in application of finite element analysis principles as well as rigid and flexible body lumped-parameters
Experience leading analysis efforts in support of conceptual, preliminary, and detailed design activity
Desired skills
A Master's degree is strongly preferred for this position
Decades of experience working in the defense industry with practical hands on experience
Extensive experience and practical application of vibroacoustic assessment of flight structures
Knowledge of both empirical and model based approach to shock assessments
Ability to work in a collaborative and highly integrated team environment
Ability and desire to assume ownership of tasks and drive to closure quickly and efficiently
Experience evaluating designs using rigid body or flexible body analysis methods and tools
Mechanisms, antenna, electronic component, ground support, hoisting, and test support equipment, and composite materials analysis experience
Experience with NX/Nastran, Abaqus, ADAMS, LS-Dyna, Matlab, Mathcad and CREO & Wave6
Static, vibration, acoustic, modal, shock test experience of aerospace flight hardware
Creativity/innovation to tackle issues related to anomalous performance of any aspect of a mechanical system
Willingness to mentor junior analysts
Active Security Clearance
