Civil/Structural Engineer/contractor at CPS/Comtech

Project Overview:

The ML2 Project is the design and construction of a launch platform for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The purpose of ML2, located at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), is to provide a launch platform for the Space Launch System (SLS), an advanced launch vehicle that will fill America’s need for deep space missions. ML2 includes many different subsystems that must operate and fit within the constraints of the structure and provide physical interface with KSC launch sites’ ground systems.

This role will support design development of structural engineering designs for the project by modifying and updating calculations, providing responses to request for information from the steel fabricator, and providing construction support by responding to field change notices.

Major Responsibilities:

Originate structural engineering deliverables, such as steel calculations and specifications.

Originate structural analysis models using GTSTRUDL or STAAD.

Aid in review and coordination of technical documents with/from other engineering disciplines.

Aid in preparing technical reports related to specific design issues..

Assist in constructability reviews.

Education and Experience Requirements:

Requires a bachelor's degree in civil/structural engineering (or related) from an accredited university or college and 2-5 years of relevant experience or 6-9 years of relevant work experience.
