Job Description
Umbilical Systems
Perform analysis to validate umbilical performance, including disconnect timing, clearance, and load conditions during launch and abort scenarios.
Evaluate retraction/release mechanism behavior under dynamic conditions.
Ground Testing Equipment
Perform structural and functional analysis to validate test fixtures, stands, and instrumentation hardware under specified loads and operating conditions.
Verify capability of test equipment supporting leak checks under defined mechanical, fluid, and electrical interface conditions.
Umbilical Mate Simulator
Perform engineering analysis to validate launch pad structures, mechanical systems, and integrated infrastructure against operational, thermal, and launch environment loads.
Transportation & Handling Tooling
Perform structural analysis to validate lifting fixtures, transport frames, handling rings, and associated tooling against rated loads, lift conditions, and applicable safety factors.
Evaluate load paths, rigging points, and handling procedures for safe operation.
