Senior Structural Dynamics Analyst, Deployable Antenna Structures
Core
Senior Structural Dynamics Analyst responsible for integrated FEM, modal analysis, and deployment dynamics of deployable antenna structures for LEO space systems.
Role type
Senior IC structural dynamics analyst (space systems)
Builds
Deployable antenna assemblies for low Earth orbit IoT satellites
Domain
Aerospace / Space Systems / Structural Dynamics
Required skills
Structural dynamics (modal analysis, frequency response, eigenvalue methods), FEA (Nastran, ANSYS, Abaqus), model-test correlation, system-level integrated FEM, structural risk assessment, requirements allocation
Preferred skills
Experience with flight/high-reliability hardware, deployment kinematics analysis, vibration/shock testing interpretation
Technologies
Nastran, ANSYS, Abaqus, Labview, Python
Responsibilities
Own integrated FEM of deployed antenna assembly, perform modal survey prediction and static deflection analysis, develop structural requirements allocation and error budget, lead model-test correlation, analyze antenna deployment kinematics and dynamics, provide pre-test predictions for vibration/shock testing, assess structural risk of design changes
Seniority
Senior, hands-on IC
