Job Description
What You'll Do
- Lead the structural sizing and stress analysis of rocket motor pressure structures, including metallic and composite motor cases and pressure-loaded components.
- Perform analytical and numerical stress analyses (linear, nonlinear, buckling, fatigue, fracture, and damage tolerance) for high-pressure, high-temperature environments.
- Define and manage load cases and environments relevant to rocket motor operation, including internal pressure, thermal gradients, mechanical loads, ignition transients, and dynamic effects.
- Develop and apply analysis methodologies for composite motor structures, including laminate theory, failure criteria, and appropriate knockdown factors.
- Support material selection and structural concepts with focus on mass efficiency, strength, thermal compatibility, and manufacturability.
- Ensure designs meet required safety factors, margins, and internal or applicable aerospace standards ...
