Loads and Dynamics Analyst Senior Mechanical Engineer
- Lockheed Martin
- King of Prussia, Pennsylvania
- Full Time
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. Were creating future-ready solutions, focusing on resiliency and urgency through our 21st Century Security vision. Were erasing boundaries and forming partnerships across industries and around the world. Were advancing spacecraft and the workforce to fuel the next generation. And were 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.
As the Senior Loads and Dynamics Analyst you will be a part of state-of-the-art analysis for & missile systems at Lockheed Martin. Work on significant analyses involving structures, materials and strategic missile defense and flight systems. You will work in a multi-disciplined team environment to help with dynamic testing and analysis.
RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE:
Lead structural dynamic analyses for missile and spacecraft flight hardware.
Participate in Shock/Vibe test planning and execution.
Utilize software for signal processing and post test data analysis.
Model and analyze test components for mode behavior and characteristics.
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.
Support dynamic test definitions, requirements development, test monitoring, data reduction, and comparison to analysis efforts.
Have the ability to work on a multi-disciplined team performing structural design trades, preliminary and detailed design/analysis activity and performance and maintenance assessments of operational systems.
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.
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 understanding of structures and structural dynamics either through education or work experience
Proficiency in application of finite element analysis principles as well as rigid and flexible body models
Knowledge of spacecraft or aircraft structural dynamic methods and testing
A bachelors degree in mechanical, aerospace program or equivalent from an accredited college/university and/or equivalent education or experience
Must be a US Citizen, and hold the ability to obtain and hold a Secret clearance A Master's degree is strongly preferred for this position
Experience evaluating designs using rigid body or flexible body analysis methods and tools
Random vibration and shock analysis experience
Utilize software for signal processing and post test data analysis
Mechanisms, antenna, electronic component, ground support, hoisting, and test support equipment, and composite materials analysis experience
Experience with NX/Nastran, Matlab, Abaqus, ADAMS, LS-Dyna, Wave6, Mathcad and CREO
Static, vibration, acoustic, modal, shock test experience of aerospace flight hardware
Ability and desire to assume ownership of tasks and drive to closure quickly and efficiently
Creativity/innovation to tackle issues related to anomalous performance of any aspect of a mechanical system
Ability to work in a collaborative and highly integrated team environment
Active Secret Clearance
