Senior Structural Engineer
The Senior Structural Engineer joins the Rocket Motor Systems team to own the structural analysis of solid rocket motor hardware, including propellant grains, motor cases, nozzles, igniters, and ignition safety devices. This role involves performing static and dynamic structural analysis across metallics, composites, and viscoelastics while building and managing global and subsystem FEMs. The engineer will analyze coupled environments such as ignition pressurization, shock, vibration, and thermal-structural interactions to ensure hardware meets safety regulations and customer requirements. Key responsibilities include partnering with design teams to improve hardware, planning validation testing, and performing model-to-test correlation. Required skills include proficiency in commercial FEA tools like ANSYS, Abaqus, or NASTRAN; programming in Python or MATLAB for automation; and CAD experience with NX or SolidWorks. The role addresses the technical challenges of high-pressure, harsh-environment rocket motor components.
