Lockheed Martin
Dynamics and Technical Lead - Acoustics Mechanical Engineering
Lockheed Martin, Sunnyvale, California, United States, 94087
Description
Space is a critical domain that connects our technologies, our security and our humanity. At Lockheed Martin Space we harness the full potential of space to cultivate innovation, reduce costs and push the boundaries of what technology can achieve. We are creating future‑ready solutions that focus on resiliency and urgency through our 21st Century Security vision, erasing boundaries and forming partnerships across industries and around the world. Responsibilities
Perform structural dynamic analyses for missile and spacecraft flight hardware. Provide technical guidance to missile programs in planning and execution of structural analysis and test. Produce and maintain models generated from 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. 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, 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 and missile dynamics analysis and test methods. 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. 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. Security Clearance
This position requires a government security clearance. Must be a US Citizen. Clearance Level: Secret. Location
Onsite Full‑time at a designated Lockheed Martin facility. Shift
First Experience Level
Experienced Professional Business Unit
SPACE Type
Full‑Time Relocation
