Lockheed Martin
Mechanical Engineer - Structural Dynamics Analyst Experienced
Lockheed Martin, Littleton, Colorado, us, 80161
Overview
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. The description reflects a role focused on structural dynamics analyses for missile and spacecraft flight hardware, with responsibilities spanning model development, loads and environment determinations, testing, data evaluation, and collaboration across multi-disciplinary teams. Responsibilities
Perform structural dynamic analyses for missile and spacecraft flight hardware Produce and maintain models generated from in-house and commercially available codes that simulate mechanical loading conditions, deployment motions, and response behavior of missile segments 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 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; 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 Must be a US Citizen and have the ability to obtain a government security clearance Desired Skills
A Master’s degree is strongly preferred for this position Extensive experience in the defense industry with practical hands-on experience Experience with vibroacoustic assessment of flight structures Knowledge of empirical and model-based approaches 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 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 mechanical systems Willingness to mentor junior analysts Active Security Clearance Security Clearance
This position requires a government security clearance; you must be a US Citizen for consideration. Clearance Level: Secret Additional Information
Expression of Interest: By applying to this job, you are expressing interest in this position and could be considered for other career opportunities with similar skills. Ability to Work Remotely: Part-time remote telework; the employee will work part of their schedule remotely and part at a Lockheed Martin facility. Schedule: 9x80 every other Friday off.
