Key job responsibilities
- Perform structural/dynamic loads analyses, and multi-body dynamic simulations for subsystem and vehicle level trades.
- Contribute to spacecraft structural/dynamics test planning, equipment and instrumentation selection, and data acquisition.
- Create & maintain FEA models for all vehicle states: GSE/transport, launch vehicle (stowed), on-orbit states (dispensing, deployments).
- Pretest simulations, response limiting/notching definition, and post-test data analysis and correlation/validation of analytical model.- Pointing accuracy trades; build dynamic disturbance models from spacecraft MMAs, and incorporating predictions of thermal profile transients, to identify and mitigate jitter effects on pointing precision.Export Control Requirement:
