Sr. Loads and Dynamics Engineer, Amazon Leo

• 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.
• Perform analysis using 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.
• Work with GNC team to deliver linear modal models of principal structural disturbance responses to the integrated flight simulation & similar analysis tools.
• Verify compliance with launch vehicle requirements
