Job summary

Lockheed Martin Corporation is seeking a Staff Loads & Dynamics Engineer for the NGI program. You will perform structural dynamics analyses and develop analytical models to simulate vibration, shock, and mechanical loading for spaceflight hardware.

The role requires expertise in vibroacoustic analyses, FEA (NX Simcenter/NASTRAN/LS-Dyna/Wave6) and MATLAB, with a current Secret clearance. You will collaborate across teams to ensure designs meet dynamic requirements and support extensive testing

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Structural, or Mechanical Engineering or similar technical field.
• Relevant work experience performing structural dynamics analyses and loads/environments development for spacecraft, aircraft, or missiles.
• Expertise in vibroacoustic and shock analyses on spacecraft/launch vehicles.
• Experience in finite element modeling and analysis using NX Simcenter, NASTRAN, LS-Dyna, Wave6, or equivalent.
• Experience in programming and use of MATLAB (or equivalent) for analysis and data manipulation.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance, US citizenship is required.

Responsibilities

• Perform structural dynamics analysis for spacecraft flight hardware operating in demanding launch and space environments.
• Develop and maintain analytical models using in-house and commercial software to simulate vibration, shock, and mechanical loading conditions.
• Conduct loads development at the component, subsystem, and system level.
• Evaluate dynamic environments including shock, vibration, and mechanism motion.
• Support component and system-level testing, including vibration, modal, static, separation dynamics, and shock tests.
• Analyze test data and document results in clear technical reports and presentations.
• Define and integrate structural and dynamic requirements into the system baseline.
• Present technical findings at design reviews, technical interchange meetings, engineering review boards, and test readiness reviews.
