Job Description
“OUR VALUES
Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity
What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results
It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together
RESPONSIBILITIES
Lead the analysis and validation of spacecraft structural systems to ensure survivability and performance under dynamic environments, including launch and on-orbit operations.
Perform detailed structural dynamics analyses, including modal, harmonic, random vibration, shock, and transient response simulations.
Develop and validate finite element models (FEMs) of spacecraft structures and subsystems, ensuring accuracy in predicting dynamic behavior.
Define and lead dynamic testing campaigns, including vibration, shock, and acoustic testing, to verify structural integrity and correlate models with test results.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including mechanical, thermal, and systems engineering, to ensure dynamic requirements are integrated into the design process.
Provide expertise in structural dynamics during trade studies, design reviews, and critical decision-making processes.
Develop launch provider inputs such as Craig Brampton models
QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
6+ years of experience in structural dynamics analysis for aerospace, defense, or high-reliability applications.
Proficiency in finite element analysis (FEA) tools such as FEMAP/NASTRAN or HyperWorks/OptiStruct.
Experience in spacecraft dynamic environments, including launch loads, vibration, and shock for rideshare and dedicated launches.
Strong understanding of structural mechanics, material properties, and failure modes in aerospace applications.
Hands-on experience with environmental testing, including random, sine, and sine burst vibration
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Familiarity with spacecraft-specific structural dynamics challenges, such as coupled loads analysis and dynamic coupling between subsystems.
Experience working with lightweight structures, composites, and advanced materials.
Proficiency in CAD tools, such as SolidWorks, for integrating FEMs with detailed spacecraft models.
Hands-on experience with instrumentation for dynamic testing, including accelerometers, strain gauges, and data acquisition systems.
Hands-on experience with environmental testing including shock and acoustic tests.
COMPENSATION
Base Salary: $125,000-$160,000
Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave
Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, location, and experience.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Ability to maintain or obtain TS//SCI clearance.
Work Location: while we observe a hybrid work environment, you will need to be onsite as the business needs require. On an average week, you can expect to spend at least 3 days per week in office at our Gravity Works facility.
Work environment is in a standard office, working at a desk or in a production factory.
Physical demands may include frequent standing, sitting, walking, bending, and lifting or carrying items up to 20lbs. “
