Dynamics and Technical Lead - Acoustics Mechanical Engineering
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. Become a valued member of the Loads & Dynamics central function organization! In this role, you will: Perform structural dynamic analyses for missile and spacecraft flight hardware Provide technical guidance to programs in their planning and execution of structural analysis and test on missile programs 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. 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 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 High level of experience with missile test programs and investigating anomalies 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 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 This position requires a government security clearance, you must be a US Citizen for consideration.
