About the Team:
The Factory Test team is responsible for hardware testing in our Long Beach facilities. We use our breadth of experience and collaborative engineering approach to support everything from very large structural tests to precise valve actuation. To that end, we design, build, and operate all test assets in Long Beach from initial concept to test execution. If you enjoy working on a multi-disciplinary team with a broad mandate and want to put hands on hardware, then this is the team for you.
About the Role:
To support our mission of changing the way rockets are built and flown, you will be responsible for bringing structural test stands from design concept to full operational readiness. The scope of work encompasses a full design cycle, including conceptualization, design, analysis, fabrication, and operation. These test stands range from benchtop fixtures for actuator testing to multi-story steel towers for stage testing.
Here are some examples of projects you could be working on:
* Design and analysis of steel weldments capable of applying test loads to a variety of hardware
* Creating drawings and work instructions for the assembly of a brand new 3d printed part into a test stand
* Writing and executing test day procedures
* Supporting design and data reviews of flight structures
Your mission will be to complete these projects on time and budget. In order to achieve this, you will be working closely with our Additive, Design, Test, and Loads & Dynamics teams.
About You:
* 5+ years of experience in a full cycle design engineering role and a Bachelor's degree in related discipline
* Working knowledge of structural analysis and test (from hand calculations to advanced analysis)
* Fundamental knowledge of structures strength, stability and fatigue failure mechanisms
* Fundamental knowledge of additive and traditional manufacturing processes
Nice to haves but not required:
* Experience with NX/TeamCenter
* Experience using Nastran and ANSYS
* Demonstrated record of timely project completion
* Experience in time critical operations (test operations, launch operations, stage management, pit crews, etc.)
