Job summary

Gravitics seeks a mechanical/aerospace analyst to own the full product lifecycle of space-system assemblies, including pressurized structures and launch adapters. You will partner with design engineers to validate and optimize designs for strength, weight, cost, and manufacturability.

The role requires hands-on FEM and hand-calculation work, knowledge of bolt preload and stability, and the ability to guide junior analysts. We offer competitive pay, equity, and comprehensive benefits.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of industry experience in mechanical or aerospace engineering.
• Bachelor’s degree in an applicable field.
• Experience with analyzing / dispositioning non-conformances
• Experience with hand calculations including free-body diagrams for internal and reaction load derivation
• Demonstrated knowledge of bolted joint calculations (bolt preload, joint stiffness, shear-tension interaction, insert pull-out, etc.)
• Strong experience with classical and aerospace analysis methods (Bruhn, Niu, Roark, Blodgett,Shigley, etc.)
• Understanding of FEM modeling techniques (boundary conditions, bolted connections, contact, verification methods, etc.)
• Mesh generation (ex: mid-surfacing) and understanding of element types
• Analysis of stability critical structures (local buckling phenomenon, global buckling, crippling)
• Experiencewith development and/or qualification testing (test requirements, setup/configuration, test predictions, test conduct/monitoring, etc.)
• Demonstrated knowledge of vehicle load path and stress analysis of metallic and/or composite structures (pressure vessels, skin-stringer, fittings, sandwich panels, etc.)
• Demonstratedexpertisewith at least two of the followingpre-post/solvercodes:SimCenter, FEMAP,Ansys, Nastran,Optistruct, LS Dyna,Hypermesh,Hypersizer, NASGRO, Abaqus, IMAT

Responsibilities

• Partner directly with design engineers to validate and optimize primary and secondary structural designs for strength, stiffness, weight, cost, and manufacturability
• Perform stress, deflection, stability, and margin of safety analyses using FEM and first-principles hand calculations
• Participate in subsystem test planning, execution, data reduction and analysis
• Analysis checks for designers and junior structural analysts in stress/stability/fracture analysis and best practices
• Prepare technical content and present to internal and external customers
• Ability to perform technical assessment of damage or out of tolerance conditions and provide guidance on repair or use
