Job summary

Jobtailor is seeking a skilled structural engineer to design, analyze, develop, and test primary and secondary structures for a next-generation launch vehicle. You will own designs from concept through launch and create 3D models, detail drawings, assemblies, and interface control documents.

You will provide manufacturing support, work with integration teams, and lead trade studies while applying rigid design practices for cryogenic environments. A B.S.

Qualifications

Minimum of a B.S. degree in engineering.
3+ years of experience with automotive, aircraft, spacecraft, or launch vehicle structures.
Experience on recently developed aircraft or launch vehicles in structural design of metallic components and assemblies, vehicle load path distribution and first-order strength assessment and sizing, or material selection, compatibility, and manufacturing techniques.
Strong mechanical design and integration skills using 3D CAD software.
Familiarity with GD&T analysis (ASME Y14.5).
Ability to rapidly apply structural mechanics principles and development designs using hand calculations and finite element analysis.
Understanding of material and design considerations in a cryogenic operating environment.
Experience with the full product lifecycle of design, test, and production.
Knowledge of design and fabrication considerations for composite structures.
Familiarity with Nastran, ANSYS, Optistruct, Abaqus, HyperMesh, and Hypersizer.

Responsibilities

Design, analyze, develop, and test primary and secondary structures for the New Glenn second stage.
Take ownership of designs from concept through launch.
Perform initial sizing and detailed analysis.
Create 3D models, detail part drawings, assemblies, installations, and interface control documents.
Provide manufacturing and production support for hardware.
Provide technical guidance for integration.
Support configuration development and trade studies.
Apply practical approaches to hardware fabrication and cost impacts.
Create test plans, specifications, and documentation for flight hardware development.
Collaborate with vertically integrated materials and manufacturing teams to produce aerospace hardware.
Participate in subsystem test planning, execution, data reduction, and analysis.
