Axient - Huntsville, AL
posted 4 months ago
DCI, a wholly owned subsidiary of Axient Corporation LLC, is seeking a Senior Structural Dynamics Engineer to support current and future development programs with NASA and commercial companies. This position may be eligible for a hybrid work schedule, where part of the employee's work schedule will be required to be on-site at DCI/Axient facilities in Huntsville, AL. DCI is primarily focused on supporting NASA and commercial space companies, having played a key role in supporting the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in the development of the Space Launch System (SLS), which successfully launched the Artemis 1 in November 2022. Additionally, DCI supports Dynetics in the development and manufacture of the Universal Stage Adapter (USA) for the Block 1B variant of SLS. As a Senior Structural Dynamics Engineer, you will be responsible for performing structural dynamic analyses for spacecraft flight hardware. Your role will involve 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. You will also be tasked with performing loads development at both the primary structure and component level, determining shock and vibration environments, and conducting component and system-level testing and data evaluation. Furthermore, you will prepare test plans and requirements for various tests, including static, separation dynamics, vibration, modal, and shock tests, and analyze and document the results in post-test reports. Generating detailed analysis reports and effectively communicating those results with the customer will also be a key part of your responsibilities.
