What is the difference between Freelance Structural Dynamics Engineer vs Structural Engineer?

AspectFreelance Structural Dynamics EngineerStructural Engineer
CredentialsEngineering degree, specialized training in dynamics, certificationsEngineering degree, PE license often preferred
Work EnvironmentIndependent, project-based, remote or on-siteTypically employed by firms or agencies, office or site-based
Industry UsageConsults on dynamic analysis, earthquake, vibration projectsDesigns and analyzes structures, including static and dynamic loads

While both roles require engineering credentials, a Freelance Structural Dynamics Engineer specializes in dynamic analysis and often works independently on specific projects. A Structural Engineer has a broader scope, focusing on overall structural design and analysis within firms or organizations.

Job description

About the Role

Join an innovative aerospace engineering team developing next-generation spacecraft and lunar exploration technologies. This opportunity is ideal for an experienced Structural Dynamics Engineer who is passionate about solving complex engineering challenges and contributing to the design, analysis, and testing of advanced aerospace vehicles.

In this role, you'll work alongside multidisciplinary engineering teams to analyze structural loads, vibration, and dynamic behavior throughout all phases of flight. You'll play a key role in ensuring vehicle performance, structural integrity, and mission success while supporting groundbreaking spaceflight programs.


Key Responsibilities

  • Perform structural dynamics, vibration, and loads analyses for spacecraft and launch vehicle systems
  • Develop dynamic models and simulations to evaluate structural response during ascent, descent, landing, and other mission phases
  • Analyze aerodynamic, inertial, vibration, acoustic, and shock environments affecting aerospace structures
  • Collaborate with structural, mechanical, and flight test engineers to optimize vehicle designs for weight, strength, and dynamic performance
  • Support test planning by providing guidance on instrumentation, load measurement systems, and structural validation activities
  • Perform modal analysis, vibration testing, and correlation of analytical models with test and flight data
  • Define structural operating limits and flight envelopes based on analytical results
  • Prepare technical reports, presentations, and engineering documentation to communicate findings and recommendations
  • Participate throughout the product lifecycle, including concept development, design, analysis, testing, verification, and flight support


Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related engineering discipline
  • 5+ years of experience performing structural analysis, structural dynamics, vibration analysis, or launch vehicle dynamics (entry-level candidates with advanced degrees may also be considered)
  • Experience using analytical tools such as NASTRAN, MATLAB, and Python
  • Experience creating and managing finite element models using FEMAP, Simcenter 3D, BETA CAE, NX Nastran, or similar software
  • Strong understanding of structural mechanics and the ability to solve static and dynamic engineering problems using analytical methods and simulation tools
  • Experience with signal analysis in both the time and frequency domains
  • Excellent analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills with the ability to present technical findings to cross-functional teams


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience performing coupled loads analysis for launch vehicles
  • Experience analyzing launch vehicle dynamic environments
  • Experience planning and executing vibration and shock testing
  • Experience with modal testing and finite element model correlation
  • Familiarity with NASA, Space Force, or Range structural analysis and testing standards
  • Experience using test or flight data to validate analytical models


Why Join?

  • Work on cutting-edge spacecraft and lunar exploration programs supporting the future of spaceflight
  • Solve complex structural dynamics challenges on mission-critical aerospace systems
  • Collaborate with highly skilled engineers across multiple engineering disciplines
  • Gain exposure to the complete product lifecycle, from concept development through launch and mission operations
  • Join an innovative, fast-paced engineering organization where technical excellence and continuous learning are highly valued
