• 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
