Full Job Posting

Responsibilities

  • Perform structural and thermal-mechanical analysis of precision opto-mechanical hardware, including lens barrels, optical mounts, detector interfaces, mirror mounts, baffles, camera housings, and fiber coupled assemblies.
  • Develop and maintain finite element models for flight or development hardware, including static, modal, random vibration, sine vibration, shock, and thermo-elastic analyses.
  • Support Structural-Thermal-Optical Performance analysis by working with optical engineers to understand alignment sensitivity, detector placement tolerances, boresight stability, wavefront error, and pointing requirements.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Mechanics, Physics, Optical Engineering, or related technical discipline.
  • Experience with structural analysis, mechanical design analysis, FEA, or thermal-mechanical analysis through coursework, internships, research, or professional work.
  • Strong understanding of mechanics of materials, dynamics, heat transfer, vibration, and structural behavior.
  • Experience with CAD or FEA tools such as NX, SolidWorks, Nastran, ANSYS, SigFIT, Femap, Simcenter 3D, or equivalent.
  • Ability to work with mechanical drawings, material properties, fasteners, tolerances, and physical hardware constraints.

Preferred Skills And Experience

  • Experience analyzing aerospace, spacecraft, optical payload, camera, telescope, lasercom, or precision instrumentation hardware.
  • Experience with Structural-Thermal-Optical Performance workflows using tools such as SigFit, Zemax OpticStudio, Code V, FRED, MATLAB, Python, or similar.
  • Experience with opto-mechanical hardware such as lens barrels, mirror mounts, flexures, bonded optics, kinematic mounts, detector mounts, optical benches, or gimbaled assemblies.
