Dynamic Environments Engineer

Dynamic Environments Engineer
Location: Colorado, US
Salary: $100,000 – $150,000 (DOE)

The company

A US space company building electric propulsion systems and small satellites. Their hardware covers propulsion modules, spacecraft and launch vehicle upper stages, and they’re currently delivering against multiple funded propulsion and satellite contracts. Small enough that you’ll own your analysis end to end, established enough that the work is flying.

The role

You’ll own the dynamic environments side of their hardware, from individual components up to full spacecraft. That means shock, random vibration and acoustic analysis, predicting and interpreting measured data, and signing hardware off as flight-ready before it goes to the customer.

Day to day:

  • Run dynamic environments and structural analysis across propulsion units, flow control systems and power electronics
  • Support random vibration and shock test campaigns, then correlate the data back to your models
  • Interpret customer requirements, present your results in design reviews, and write the analysis reports that go out with the hardware
  • Support the sign-off of flight hardware for delivery
  • Work across several programmes at once and improve the analysis process as you go

What they’re looking for

  • Bachelor’s or above in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering
  • 5+ years in industry
  • Strong dynamic environments and structural analysis background
  • Hands-on experience with dynamic testing (random vibration, shock)
  • Solid grounding in vibroacoustics, structural mechanics and dynamics
  • Comfortable explaining your analysis to a customer, not just running it

Nice to have

  • NASTRAN / FEMAP
  • MATLAB or Python
  • Previous space or satellite hardware experience

Eligibility

This role sits under US export control (ITAR). You’ll need to be a US citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual under 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or otherwise able to obtain State Department authorisation.
