Vast Dynamics Engineer at Vast responsible for developing systems for artificial-gravity human-rated space stations. Focus on frequency-based design and test requirements in quasi-statics, random vibrations, shock, and acoustics.
Responsibilities
Derive internal load and environment requirements from system level requirements.
Assist product groups with vibration and shock requirement tailoring and test verification.
Assess vendor hardware capabilities against in-house predictions.
Develop post-processing tools for dynamic analyses and tests.
Build, maintain, and correlate prediction models based on gathered test data.
Qualification
Familiar with Femap/NASTRANAdditional Requirements
Required
Bachelor degree in Mechanical or Aerospace engineering.
1+ years of professional experience in loads and environment prediction.
Preferred
Spacecraft and/or payload background with experience through the entire system lifecycle from concept, design, production, integration, test, launch, and operations.
Hands-on test experience in vibration labs.
Familiar with Femap/NASTRAN.
Ability to explain structural dynamic concepts to other engineering functions.
Working understanding of a design load cycle and how it relates to analysis and test.
Knowledge of spacecraft launch load environments and industry standard documents (SMC-S-016, GSFC-STD-7000A, MIL-STD-810G, etc.).
Additional Requirements:
Ability to travel occasionally for out-of-house testing.
