As a member of our growing analysis team you will help own the successful derivation of loads and environments for K2 Space satellites during ground transportation, launch, deployment, and on-orbit operation. You will build software tools and establish simulation workflows to support a variety of analyses in frequency and time domains. Within your first couple of months you will devise development testing to correlate physics models with measured data. You will also own qualification and acceptance testing of satellite hardware at the component and vehicle level. As we continue to refine our designs and scale for the future you will be responsible for delivering well-derived requirements and engineering insights to make reliable and mass-producible spacecraft. Responsibilities Drive subsystem-level dynamic testing from start to finish including test planning and coordination, test analysis, and model correlation Develop physics models using finite element analysis or custom software Create software tools to support data processing and simulation frameworks Collaborate with design engineers, analysts, and external customers to develop satellite products Apply first principles in developing frameworks for both dynamics and non-dynamics analyses Contribute to code reviews for simulation and analysis tools Utilize analysis and test to provide data-driven engineering guidance and decisions Write high quality technical documentation of test and simulations Qualifications Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, physics, or mathematics 1+ years of work experience in dynamics either from industry, research, internships or academic projects Nice to have Master's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, physics, or mathematics Strong understanding of low and high frequency dynamics (vibration, shock, modal testing) Experience with testing and measurements Experience with finite element analysis software (e.g. FEMAP, Nastran) Software development experience in Python Strong knowledge of digital signal processing, statistics, and structural mechanics Capable of identifying and solving complex problems with little to no supervision or direction Excellent communication skills of analysis and test insights. Ability to work in a fast-paced, unstructured start-up environment. Compensation and Benefits: Base salary range for this role is $110,000 - $140,000 + equity in the company Salary will be based on several factors including, but not limited to: knowledge and skills, education, and experience level Comprehensive benefits package including paid time off, medical/dental/vision coverage, life insurance, paid parental leave, and many other perks If you don't meet 100% of the preferred skills and experience, we encourage you to still apply! Building a spacecraft unlike any other requires a team unlike any other and non-traditional career twists and turns are encouraged! If you need a reasonable accommodation as part of your application for employment or interviews with us, please let us know.
