Utilizing agile methodologies and continuous learning can also help engineers stay ahead in dynamic environments.

What is dynamic engineering?

Dynamic engineering is a field of engineering that focuses on systems and structures that are subject to forces and motions, such as vibrations, dynamics of machinery, and control systems. It involves the analysis, design, and optimization of components that experience changing loads or movements. Engineers in this field use principles of physics, mathematics, and computer modeling to predict and improve the performance of dynamic systems in industries like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.

Job description

Vast is looking for a Dynamics Engineer, reporting to the Senior Manager of Loads and Dynamics, to support the development of the systems that will be required for the design and build of artificial-gravity human-rated space stations.

This will be a full-time, exempt position located in our Long Beach location. 

The Structural Dynamics team is responsible for low and high-frequency load & environment predictions for all Vast space stations during ground transportation, ascent, and on-orbit operations. This role will be responsible for generating frequency-based design and test requirements in quasi-statics, random vibrations, shock, and acoustics. Candidates should have strong skills in frequency domain analysis, test planning, and high-speed data processing.

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.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor degree in Mechanical or Aerospace engineering.
  • 1+ years of professional experience in loads and environment prediction.

Preferred Skills & Experience:

  • 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.

Pay Range: 

  • Dynamics Engineer I: $86,100 - $122,220
  • Dynamics Engineer II: $112,340 - $159,468
  • Senior Dynamics Engineer: $137,760 - $195,552
  • Staff Dynamics Engineer: $162,360 - $230,472
