Responsibilities
Clearance Requirement: Due to the nature of the work, candidates for this position need to be a U.S. citizen and capable of obtaining and maintaining a DoD Secret level security clearance.
Do you want to be part of a proven team working on the next generation of space launch vehicles providing access to space? If yes, then this is an excellent opportunity to utilize your strong mathematical and programming skills to perform structural dynamic response analysis of cutting-edge National Security Space (NSS) missions for both the payload and launch vehicle in support of critical space missions for the U.S. Government. Join a team of highly skilled structural analysts (rocket scientists!) performing Independent Validation and Verification (IV&V) tasks for classified payloads launching on ULA Atlas V, Delta IV Heavy, and Vulcan launch vehicles as well as SpaceX Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy and, one day, the in-development Starship launch vehicle. You will be performing sophisticated computer analyses simulating launch from Liftoff through payload separation. Specific tasks include assembly and checkout of finite element models, processing and verification of forcing functions, development and implementation of coupled loads analysis (CLA) methodologies and performance of advanced coupled loads analyses.
