What are the responsibilities and job description for the Analyst III position at Karman Space & Defense?
Summary
The Analyst’s role is to utilize theories of physics (classical mechanics, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism) to support design, development, and final verification across a variety of aerospace development programs. The engineer is primarily expected to apply structural design and structural analysis practices to support development from conceptual design phases through to released engineering drawings and stress analysis reports, support test planning, and prepare documentation. Other common tasks include modelling pyrotechnic & pneumatic gas dynamics, multi-body kinematics, and heat-transfer problems.
About Us
Karman Space & Defense provides concept-to-production solutions for mission-critical systems on spacecraft, launch vehicles, missiles, hypersonics, and integrated defense systems. We believe that solving the industry’s most complex and mission-critical challenges requires relentless determination and a willingness to push the boundaries of possibility. Karman Space & Defense brings to bear unparalleled production capabilities, unmatched engineering expertise, and unflinching analysis to render the impossible, possible.
