As a member of our growing dynamics 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.

Drive the definition and execution of dynamic testing at the component, subsystem, and vehicle level, including test planning and coordination, test analysis, and model correlation

Innovate on cross-disciplinary analysis and test methodologies

Evolve spacecraft dynamics approaches to optimize for the company’s business

Develop time- and frequency-domain physics models using finite element analysis (e.g., Nastran) and custom-built software (e.g., Python)

Create software tools to support data processing and simulation frameworks

Collaborate with design engineers, analysts, and external customers to develop payload products

Apply first principles in developing frameworks for both dynamics and non-dynamics analyses

Perform 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 tests and simulations

Derive loads, environments, and other dynamics-driven design and test criteria, including vibration, shock, and jitter maximum predicted environments and response-limit derivation (e.g., NASA 7004C)
