Mechanical Analyst

Staff Mechanical Analyst – Space Systems

Location:

Golden, CO

Join a fast‑growing space robotics company developing next‑generation mobility and exploration systems. As a Staff Mechanical Analyst, you’ll lead the mechanical analysis function, guiding a team through design, validation, and optimization of advanced spaceflight hardware.

• Lead and mentor a team of mechanical analysts across multiple vehicle and mobility projects
• Develop and execute mechanical analyses — loads, stress, dynamics, vibration, fatigue, and fracture
• Build and refine analytical and finite element models to support rapid design iteration
• Collaborate closely with design, test, and project teams to meet program milestones
• Ensure compliance with NASA and aerospace standards
• Produce high‑quality technical documentation and reports for reviews (PDR, CDR, TRR, FRB)

• Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering or related field (Master’s preferred)
• 10+ years of experience in mechanical analysis for spaceflight systems
• Proven experience leading analysis teams in fast‑paced environments
• Strong background in Finite Element Modeling and interpreting complex load data
• Familiarity with dynamic, kinematic, fatigue, and fracture analysis methods
• Excellent communication, organization, and leadership skills
• Must be a U.S. Person

• Experience with ANSYS, FEMAP, NASGRO, Matlab, LS‑DYNA, and Solid Works
• Exposure to automotive or composite structure analysis

If you’re ready to lead mechanical analysis for cutting‑edge space systems and help shape the next generation of exploration technology, we’d love to hear from you.
