Sr Mass Properties Engineer

• Proficiency in calculating the mass properties (mass, 3 axis centers of gravity, moments and products of inertia) of components and performing summation calculations into assemblies; developing simple software tools to perform these calculations

• Performing mass properties analysis to resolve weight, center of gravity, mass moments of inertia, and products of inertia from assemblies down to the component level; tracking changes impacting mass properties; preparing mass properties reports and supporting design reviews

• Interpreting detailed mechanism designs taken from manufacturing drawings or standard modeling software tools

• Demonstrated experience in weight and center of gravity measurements by platform and multiple load cell methods, data reduction, and simple error analysis

• Ability to develop and maintain mass properties databases and configuration control.

• Knowledge and proficiency in applying industry standards (e.g., AIAA S 120 2015, TR-2018-01203, SAWE RP-9, SAWE RP-10).

• Proficient in CAD (preferably PTC Creo) to extract component and assembly mass properties, perform model interrogation, and support engineering analyses.

• US Citizenship with a Secret security clearance
