  • Ability to solve ordinary differential equations and work across disciplines

Responsibilities

  • Resolve dynamics issues through analysis, testing and flight data correlation
  • Build finite element and lumped element models of launch vehicle systems
  • Plan and execute dynamic testing (pre-test analysis, instrumentation, test, data processing)
  • Perform signal processing, data analysis and model correlation
  • Own system-level dynamics analysis and drive hardware or operations changes across teams
  • Develop and run analyses using commercial and in-house codes and write new analysis code as needed

Education

  • Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline (required)
  • Graduate degree in mechanical/aerospace engineering or related field (preferred)
