Senior Structural Analyst, SpaceActive$194K

Anduril's Space team is dedicated to expanding our AI-powered capabilities into the final frontier, enhancing Space Domain Awareness, Space Control, and Command and Control for U. S.

What you'll do

• Support new space hardware programs from concept through launch as a dedicated structural analyst.

• Quantify and document load cases and environments.

• Perform stress analysis to determine the strength, life, and safety margins: using first order methods and more advanced analytical methods.

• Use first principles as a basis for every decision. Discern the right level of analysis to apply.

• Execute hand calculations, spreadsheet, and MATLAB/Python first-order models: to inform path forward before jumping into detailed analysis.

• Develop appropriate computational models and simulations to predict dynamic: environments, stress distribution, deformation, fracture, and fatigue life as needed to meet design schedules.

What they're looking for

• MS or higher degree in engineering or applied physics with a focus in structures.
• + years of experience in a structures, dynamics, or loads related role with: high ownership and accountability for hardware outcomes.
• Experienced using FEA software (ANSYS, Abaqus, NASTRAN) with a focus in: NASTRAN solution sequences for linear and non-linear static, dynamic, and buckling analyses.
• Structural testing experience (static, dynamic, shock) including sensor: selection, data acquisition, and data post-processing.
• Knowledge of industry standards for materials (e.g. MMPDS) and analysis and: test methodologies (e.g. GSFC-STD-7000, NASA-HDBK-7002, NASA-STD-5020).
• Be able to obtain and hold a U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
