Senior Spacecraft Vibration & Dynamics Test Engineer

Insight Global; Houston (TX); In loco; USD 140.000 - 210.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Insight Global is assisting in recruiting a Sr. Structural Dynamics Engineer to lead the analysis and testing of spacecraft hardware in dynamic environments. You will develop FEMs, run modal and vibration analyses, and support spacecraft-level testing, validating model predictions with hands-on data.

The role requires 10+ years in structural dynamics with 5+ years in related analysis and testing, and proficiency in Nastran, MATLAB or Python, plus experience with relevant standards and tools.

Competenze

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or related field.
• Willingness to travel to test facilities (30-40%).
• 10+ years of experience with 5+ years in structural dynamics analysis and testing.
• Experience with vibration, shock, and modal testing, including plan execution and data correlation.
• Proficiency in FEM and analytical simulations using Nastran.
• Static and dynamic analyses (sine, random, shock, vibro-acoustic) by FEA and hand methods.
• Experience in signal analysis in time and frequency domains.
• Proficiency in MATLAB or Python for simulations and data processing.
• Familiarity with SMC / MIL-STD / NASA standards.
• Experience with Beta CAE products, Simcenter NX Nastran, Vibration Research software, MEscope.

Mansioni
