Description
As a Senior Structural Analyst at Astranis, you will own the modeling, structural analysis, and testing of components, subsystems, and entire spacecraft. In addition to being a significant individual contributor, you will mentor and train junior mechanical engineers on such projects.
Role: Perform analysis of complex components, assemblies, and spacecraft to satisfy launch and on-orbit requirements Help define structural load requirements and test requirements for components and subsystems Lead vibration test campaigns for components, assemblies, and spacecraft that you have analyzed Develop and define design best practices for future programs Assist in recruiting, interviewing, and hiring additional teammates to our rapidly-growing team
Requirements: B.S. or M.S in mechanical, aerospace engineering or equivalent 4+ years of experience Strong Finite Element analysis skills (Femap/Nastran expertise preferred) Structural dynamics testing experience Experience correlating finite element models based on dynamics test data Experience mentoring junior engineers
Bonus: Experience analyzing and testing composite structures Experience defining vibration environments and running mechanical testing on spacecraft and spacecraft components Demonstrated ability to personally design, analyze, and procure complex mechanical assemblies with 30+ components in aerospace or similar Experience in synthesizing requirements and flowing them down to sub-scale verification builds and testing Acoustics analysis and/or test experience
