- The Payload Accommodations IPT develops, designs, and tests structural/mechanical mission-specific and standard interface solutions required to integrate payloads onto Atlas V & Vulcan Centaur launch vehicles. The function develops primary and secondary structural and mechanical designs to accommodate payload requirements, provide support to payload ground test programs, provide structural support to the payload in flight, and provide mechanical release and separation of the payload from the launch vehicle.
- This position within the Payload Fairing and PLA Ground System Design & Analysis group requires senior structural/mechanical design, industrial, aerospace, or civil engineering capability. Mechanical/aerospace factory support and/or payload integration experience is preferred. Based on this required capability and experience, this position will be expected to perform authorized system engineer (ASE) and vehicle mission component certification engineer (MCE) roles. This position will work closely with the responsible systems engineers (RSE) for various composite components produced in the Decatur facility, including payload fairings, interstage adapters, payload attach fittings, and heatshields as well as with supplier production and quality personnel.

- This position requires the capability to perform composite hardware component non-conformance resolution, hardware integration, and trade studies to optimize designs for manufacturing, producibility, operability, and performance as well as the ability to define component/system interface requirements and perform requirement validation.
- Review of supplier hardware and build paperwork, as well as generation of engineering specifications and test requirements is part of the job function.
- The job assignment requires direct support to the factory and supplier, along with launch sites & payload customers when applicable in compliance with aggressive production & test schedules. When anomalies or significant production issues occur, the position provides support to the RSE for causal analysis leading to effective resolution and corrective actions. The position supports design improvements to reduce cost, schedule, and/or improve operational efficiency.
- Must have the capability to perform system integration and perform system-level trade studies to optimize designs for manufacturing, producibility, operability, and performance. Significant system interface requirement definition & verification effort is required.
