Remote Data analyst Jobs in League City, TX

Aegis Aerospace has a long legacy of developing space hardware payloads for the International Space Station and more recently for NASA's Lunar missions. We continue to expand our portfolio of projects as we are developing yet another ISS payload and hardware for a commercial space station. We are seeking a skilled Mechanical Engineering Analyst to join our project team in Webster, TX to design the hardware required to support these exciting projects. The successful candidate will be an experienced product development engineer responsible for designing, analyzing and testing mechanisms and structures.

This role is for a 2 Year contract with pay not to exceed 29 hours a week.

Position Overview

As a Mechanical Engineering Analyst, you will be responsible for ensuring the structural integrity, thermal performance, and functional reliability of complex mechanical systems. You will utilize Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and analytical methodologies to validate designs before production, identifying potential failure modes and optimizing performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Structural Analysis (Static & Dynamic) : Perform detailed static structural simulations to evaluate stress, strain, and deformation under various operational loads. Execute dynamic analyses, including modal, vibration, and shock testing simulations to assess frequency response and structural resonance.
• Thermal Analysis : Conduct steady-state and transient thermal simulations to evaluate heat transfer, temperature distribution, and thermal-induced stresses in mechanical assemblies.
• Tolerance Stack-Up Analysis : Perform rigorous 1D, 2D, or 3D tolerance stack-up analyses using worst-case and statistical (RSS) methods to ensure proper fit, function, and manufacturability.
• Simulation & Optimization : Utilize FEA tools to identify weight reduction opportunities and optimize design geometry without compromising safety factors or structural performance.
• Failure Prediction : Conduct root cause analysis on equipment failures and provide data-driven recommendations for countermeasures and design modifications.
• Technical Reporting : Document all analysis findings, including assumptions, boundary conditions, and results, in formal technical reports for peer review and customer certification.
• Systems Integration : Interpret mechanical hardware requirement specifications from interfacing systems and analyze concept trade studies by providing mechanical expertise to evaluate design options. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including electrical, systems, and quality engineers, to ensure project success.
