Full TimeLocation:
Hawthorne, CaliforniaReporting To:
Craig WesternCompensation:
$80,000 - $239,000 / year
Description
Venturi Astrolab, Inc. (Astrolab) is pioneering new ways to explore and operate on distant planetary bodies. We are singularly focused on designing, building, and operating a fleet of multi-purpose commercial planetary rovers to extend and enhance humanity’s presence in the solar system. We are seeking motivated, creative, and exceptional people to join our world-class team.
As a Senior Dynamics Engineer you will work with our mechanical design team to develop planetary rovers and related hardware. You will be responsible for defining and managing mechanical loads definitions related to launch and landing, as well as conducting load analyses and tests throughout the lifecycle of hardware development.What you'll do:Defining and managing mechanical loads (static, vibration, shock, and acoustics) for design using techniques such as:Mass acceleration curve analysis or other preliminary design methods
Finite element modeling and system loads model assembly
Design loads analysis methods such as response-limited sine vibration or Modal Mass Acceleration Curve
Model reduction and delivery for coupled loads analyses
Supporting dynamics test setup and analysis for hardware development and verification. In addition, ownership of test campaigns for dynamics model correlation. Notable test types are:Modal survey
Sine & random vibration
Acoustic
Shock
What you'll bring:Bachelor’s degree in engineering (advanced degree preferred
5+ years of experience in spacecraft dynamics modeling and testing
Proficiency with Simcenter Femap and NASTRAN software for dynamics simulation
Proficiency with MATLAB for data analysis
Capability to utilize a combination of analytical calculations, numerical simulation, testing, and engineering judgement to solve dynamics problems
Ownership of task execution
Aptitude for managing priorities and operating in a fast-paced environment
Ability to work in a collaborative team environment with engineers, technicians, and leadership
Ability to mentor and develop more junior mechanical engineers to build an effective design team
Benefits and PerksWork with a team of best-in-class engineers building the foundation of planetary surface exploration
Ownership in the company
Medical, dental, and vision coverage
401(k) with matching
Flexible time off and parental leave
On-site snacks, beverages, and 2x weekly lunches
Flexible work environment
