Analyst - Stress Analyst III/Sr

Varstaff • Full-time • Remote • $90k - $120k / year • 2w ago

Role Overview & Location:

Location: Remote.
Core Focus: Perform structural, functional, and dynamic analyses to validate the performance and integrity of umbilical systems, ground testing equipment, launch pad structures, and transportation/handling tooling.
Compliance: Ensure all hardware meets operational, environmental, and safety requirements across launch, abort, and ground handling scenarios in compliance with Blue Origin and NASA MSFC engineering standards.

Key Responsibilities:

Umbilical Systems: Analyze umbilical performance, including disconnect timing, clearance, retraction/release mechanisms, and load conditions during launch and abort scenarios.
Ground Testing Equipment: Perform structural and functional analysis to validate test fixtures, stands, and instrumentation hardware under specified loads and fluid/mechanical interface conditions.
Launch Pad Infrastructure: Validate launch pad structures, mechanical systems, and integrated infrastructure against operational, thermal, and launch environment loads (Umbilical Mate Simulator).
Transportation & Handling Tooling: Validate lifting fixtures, transport frames, handling rings, and rigging points against rated loads and safety factors.
Analysis & Documentation: Develop hand calculations and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) models to support design validation; document results in formal reports to support configuration-controlled (CN) release activities and design reviews.

Required Qualifications:

Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Structural Engineering, or a related field.
Technical Experience: Demonstrated experience performing structural analysis (both hand calculations and FEA) on aerospace, ground support, or mechanical systems.
FEA Software: Proficiency with Finite Element Analysis tools (e.g., ANSYS, Nastran, Abaqus, or Femap).
Analysis Methods: Solid knowledge of static, dynamic, thermal, and load path analysis methods.
Standards & Safety: Familiarity with factors of safety, rated loads, and lifting/handling standards (e.g., NASA-STD-8719, ASME BTH-1).

Preferred Qualifications:

Industry Context: Experience specifically with launch vehicle ground systems, umbilicals, test equipment, or abort/launch scenario load case development.
Processes: Familiarity with NASA MSFC (Marshall Space Flight Center) engineering processes and standards.
Seniority: Open to Senior-level candidates (Level III).
