Job description

Structural Analysis Engineer (Mid-career)

Milennium Space Systems Millennium Space Systems, a part of Boeing Defense, Space and Security (BDS), is a fast, agile small satellite company focused on national security space. Our missions have direct impact to global security, like missile warning and Earth observation. Our team is curious, bold and innovative. We take risks, innovate and explore new techniques and technologies. We influence change because we challenge the status quo. And when we watch our satellites launch, we know each one of us made it happen.

Job Summary

As a Spacecraft Structures Engineer, you will be responsible for working on the structural analysis of space vehicles and their associated mechanical equipment. The parts and systems you may work on will range from spacecraft primary and secondary structure, to ground support equipment, to pointing mechanisms and deployable structures. Your analysis will ensure that our space vehicles survive their complete development and operational lifecycles, including prototyping, test, transport, launch, and long-term operations. This position’s internal job code is Structural Analysis Engineer. Our team is currently hiring for levels 3-4.

Position Responsibilities

• Perform structural analysis on high-performing satellite systems, including modal, static, loads generation, acceleration predictions, and stress analysis
• Develop high fidelity structural models to predict both system responses and local environments within the system structure
• Support space vehicle design, configuration, layout, and mass properties analysis
• Identify materials, processes, and facilities support necessary to deliver a qualified spacecraft structure
• Work to subsystem schedule and deliverables
• Manage structural qualification testing on spacecraft systems and components including test design, test conduct, data reduction, analysis, and reporting
• Develop and document required design and analysis processes
• Review part and assembly drawings
• Provide and accept feedback to and from your technical peers
• Other duties as assigned
