Job Description and Position Responsibilities:

Penta Research is seeking a qualified candidate to join a team of flight science engineers at an industry customer facility supporting the Next Generation Interceptor program.

Responsibilities include:

• Performing expert structural dynamic analyses for spacecraft flight hardware
• Producing and maintaining models generated from both in-house and commercially available software codes, that simulate mechanical loading conditions, dynamic environments (shock and vibration), and mechanism motions
• Perform loads development (primary structure and component level), shock and vibration environments determination and component and system level testing and data evaluation
• Documentanalysis in formal reports that are clear, adequately detailed, and timely
• Define and integrate Dynamics requirements into the system baseline
• Prepare test plans/requirements for: static, separation dynamics, vibration, modal and shock tests. Analyze and document the results in post-test reports
• Present analysis and test results at program reviews such as Technical Interchange Meetings, Engineering Review Boards, Test Readiness Reviews, and Design Reviews

Basic Qualifications:

• 5+ years of relative experience
• Bachelor's degree from an accredited college in engineering or related field
• Knowledge and/or experience with static and structural dynamics analysis of spacecraft, aircraft, or missiles
• Demonstrated experience with ADAMS Multibody dynamics software, NX Simulation, LS-Dyna, or equivalent
• Proficient in programming and use of MATLAB (or equivalent) for analysis and data manipulation
• Excellent oral and written communication skills
• Experience in a collaborative team environment

Preferred Qualifications:

• Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering/Structural Mechanics or equivalent from an accredited college/university or equivalent experience with minimum of 5 years dynamics experience
• Understanding of missile and/or spacecraft structures, statics, strength of materials, structural dynamics principles, and methods
• Experience evaluating designs using rigid body or flexible body analysis methods and tools
• Proficiency with modern substructure modeling and assembly technology and component mode synthesis methods such as Craig-Bampton sub structuring
• Proficiency with structural analysis of composite structures, metallic structures, and mechanisms
• Experience in the planning and execution of static, vibration, acoustic, modal, and shock tests for aerospace flight hardware
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with adjacent disciplines (e.g. systems engineering, aerodynamics, stress analysis, design, test) in a highly integrated team environment
• Ability and desire to assume ownership of tasks and drive to closure

Travel Requirement:

• No travel required. Position location: Huntsville, AL.
