$110,000.00/yr - $190,000.00/yr Summary
The LS-DYNA structural analyst’s role will apply engineering principles to support the design, development, and final verification across a variety of aerospace and defense development programs. The engineer is primarily expected to perform structural analysis using a mix of hand calculations, and finite element analysis (FEA) to support development from the conceptual design phase through to the deployment and operations phase. Primary tasks include building and maintaining finite element models (FEM), authoring stress analysis reports, and supporting test planning. Other common tasks include using FEA to model heat transfer, modelling pyrotechnic & pneumatic gas dynamics, and multi-body kinematics of deployable systems. The analyst will often work independently within a small, fast-moving team. Excellent organization, collaboration, and communication skills are essential parts of the job.
About Us
Karman Space & Defense provides concept-to-production solutions for mission-critical systems on spacecraft, launch vehicles, missiles, hypersonics, and integrated defense systems. We believe that solving the industry’s most complex and mission-critical challenges requires relentless determination and a willingness to push the boundaries of possibility. Karman Space & Defense brings to bear unparalleled production capabilities, unmatched engineering expertise, and unflinching analysis to render the impossible, possible.

What You Will Do
Applies theories of physics to engineering problems to quantify and predict system performance, support concept of operations (CONOPS) decisions, and support derivation of subsystem requirements Assesses structural viability of aerostructures, mechanisms, and frangible systems by: Generating free body diagrams, determining load paths, calculating reaction forces and internal loads, and developing shear and moment diagrams Using classic aerospace industry analysis techniques (classical hand calculations, fatigue, and damage tolerance analysis) Build system and component level finite element models Develop and anchor system and component level loads from finite element models, test data, and engineering standards Contribute to test plan development and execution by providing technical oversight for measurement of stress, strain, displacement, acceleration, shock, and vibration data during ground and flight tests. Verifies and documents system compliance to requirements Supports development of engineering reports, presentations, and formal design reviews
What We Are Looking For
This role will be specifically focused on dynamic and static analysis of structures using LS-Dyna. Deep understanding of LS-DYNA including element formulations, material models, contact types and algorithm, and meshing methodologies Experience with running both the explicit and implicit LS-DYNA solver Experience analyzing problems that involve ductile failure, strain rate dependency, airbag modeling, impact, drop tests, and/or large deformations Experience with setting up and post processing analyses using LS Pre/Post Experience with material testing and material model development for LS-DYNA including failure criterion Desire and ability to conduct internal LS-Dyna analysis trainings, and act as SME Must be a U.S Citizen and able to obtain a DOD SECRET clearance
