FLIGHT SCIENCES ENGINEER

Responsibilities

• Lead structural dynamics analyses that shape the performance and survivability of missile and spacecraft flight hardware, from early concept through flight.
• Develop, refine, and own high-fidelity dynamic models using both in-house and industry-standard tools to simulate mechanical loads, deployment mechanisms, and complex separation events.
• Drive loads development at both the component and system level, translating real-world environments into actionable design criteria and validated engineering solutions.
• Plan and execute dynamic and static test campaigns—including separation events—then synthesize results into clear, data-driven insights that influence design decisions.
• Partner across a multidisciplinary engineering team to perform design trades, guide architecture decisions, and ensure structural integrity throughout the product lifecycle.
• Define and support dynamic test requirements, oversee test execution, and lead data reduction and correlation efforts to ensure alignment between analysis and test.
• Communicate complex technical findings with clarity and confidence, delivering high-quality documentation and presenting to internal teams, customers, and program leadership at key design reviews and technical forums.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Structural, or Mechanical Engineering or similar technical field
• 4+ years of professional work experience performing rigid body kinematics and/or dynamics simulation
• 2+ years of experience performing multi-body dynamics using MSC ADAMS or equivalent
• Experience building and correlating multi-body dynamics models with test data for model validation
• Proficiency in programming and scripting using MATLAB, Python, or equivalent
• Able to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance, thus US citizenship is required.
