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
