ASRC Federal Systems Solutions (AFSS) is seeking a highly motivated Structures Engineer to support the Rocket System Launch Program Mission Assurance (RSLP MA) contract for the U.S. Space Force.

Candidate will perform mission assurance and independent verification and validation (IV&V) of launch service contractor (LSC) analyses at our San Bernardino Engineering Center. Our engineering center hosts a multi-disciplinary team of propulsion, structures, fluid mechanics, software, controls, and avionics engineers supporting a U.S. Space Force program that provides rapid access to space for many government clients.  We work with various launch vehicle contractors throughout the country to perform systems engineering and IV&V of their launch vehicles. 

This role involves evaluating and estimating launch vehicle flight and mechanical ground support equipment loads; assessing mechanical design of vehicle components, subsystems, and handling equipment; evaluating load and mechanical stress analysis; overseeing proof load and flight acceptance load testing; processing, analyzing, and visualizing coupled loads and bending modes analysis; reviewing requirements and tailoring performed by launch vehicle contractors; supporting hardware acceptance and pedigree reviews; producing analysis reports of test and post-flight data; and presenting analysis and predictions to a technical audience in formal and informal contexts. This role works in coordination with a multi-disciplinary team performing independent validation and verification (IV&V) on rocket launch vehicles to support launch programs on an aggressive schedule.
