## Description

Long Wall is looking for an experienced Solid Rocket Motor (SRM) Structures and Dynamics Analyst to support the design, development, and production of SRMs for our interceptor system. This role is responsible for ensuring SRM structural components meet demanding missile interception requirements while maintaining manufacturability at scale. The SRM Structures and Dynamics Analyst serves as the technical authority for SRM stress and dynamic response. Responsibilities include stress analysis of propellant grains, composites, and elastomeric materials, coupled transient thermal-stress analysis of nozzles and igniters, SRM dynamic response to external stimuli such as shock and vibration, reviewing and interpreting static fire and flight test data, providing technical oversight and direction to suppliers, and defining requirements and verifying compliance throughout development and production.

The successful candidate will establish rigorous analytical methods while driving efficient program execution. They will work closely with propulsion, ballistics, aerodynamics, guidance and control, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams to ensure structures and dynamics decisions remain aligned with system-level performance, technical baselines, and program objectives., * Perform structural analysis to meet technical requirements and inform/validate designs.

 * Develop, refine, and validate computational methods and tools to predict and analyze solid rocket propellant grains, nozzle components, and motor cases.
 * Review and provide oversight to suppliers performing their own structural analyses.
 * Review test data from solid rocket motor tests.
 * Prepare, present, and explain technical results to government partners, customers, and suppliers.
 * Other duties as assigned.
