  • Perform and independently assess coupled loads analyses for spacecraft, payloads, integrated vehicles, and associated hardware.
  • Develop, review, and evaluate finite element models used for structural-dynamics and loads analyses.
  • Perform and assess modal, transient, frequency-response, random-vibration, sine-vibration, shock, and other dynamic analyses applicable to spacecraft and launch environments.
  • Identify critical structural modes, dynamic responses, load paths, sensitivities, and interfaces that may affect vehicle or component design and verification.
  • Evaluate mass, stiffness, damping, boundary conditions, model fidelity, and interface assumptions and determine their effects on analytical results and engineering conclusions.
  • Manipulate and evaluate mass and stiffness matrices obtained from reduced finite element models.
  • Develop and assess reduced-order dynamic models using techniques such as Component Mode Synthesis and Craig-Bampton reduction.
  • Review analytical and test data and support model correlation and validation activities involving modal surveys, vibration, shock, acoustic, and other structural-dynamics testing.
  • Develop, review, and provide technical input to test plans, procedures, acceptance criteria, and test reports.
  • Identify the analyses and cases that provide the greatest technical insight, including bounding conditions, sensitivities, interface conditions, off-nominal cases, and potential failure modes.
  • Participate in technical meetings, design reviews, and engineering exchanges with NASA, spacecraft providers, launch providers, contractors, and other engineering organizations.
  • Communicate technical findings, risks, assumptions, sensitivities, and recommendations clearly to discipline experts, customers, and multidisciplinary program stakeholders.
