Structural Dynamics Engineer

• Conduct comprehensive structural-dynamic evaluations of launch-vehicle systems using hand calculations, Finite element analysis, multi-body dynamics tools, analytical techniques ensuring compliance with all flight-environment requirements under quasi-static, transient, acoustic, and other critical flight loading conditions.
  

• Develop, refine, and validate integrated load models, including load-path assessments, interface environment predictions, and model updates informed by component-level tests, system-level tests, and ground-based data.
  

• Independently design, develop, and test flight critical mechanisms, performing complete end-to-end analysis, test planning, and verification to ensure reliable operation in the flight dynamic environment.
  

• Perform detailed modal, harmonic, random vibration, shock, and vibroacoustic analyses to characterize vehicle system responses and support qualification and acceptance campaigns. Knowledge or experience with ground vibration testing (GVT) and qualification-level vibration testing is highly advantageous.
  

• Collaborate closely with avionics, propulsion, and flight-dynamics teams to assess and characterize the vibration environments of electronic assemblies, propulsion auxiliaries, and other mission-critical hardware, ensuring robust performance across all mission phases.
  

• Prepare high-quality technical documentation, including analysis reports, model descriptions, data processing, test-to-analysis correlation summaries, and verification/qualification rationale for engineering teams and review committees.
  

• Demonstrate proficiency in industry best practices for dynamic systems testing, vibration and shock simulation, multi-body dynamics, aerospace test standards, and emerging methodologies for dynamic qualification in launch-vehicle development.
  

Requirements

• Bachelor’s/ Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
  

• Proficiency in finite element analysis, vibration analysis/testing, and multi-body dynamics software tools.
  

• Strong understanding of fundamentals of load analysis, vibration, dynamics and analytical modelling of vehicle systems.
  

• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  

• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to work collaboratively in a dynamic team environment.
