Senior Mechanism Simulation Engineer

$140,000-$200,000 + equity + performance bonus

I am partnering with a fast-growing space technology company developing a first-of-its-kind system designed to deploy multiple payloads in space without relying on traditional thrusters.

They are looking for a Senior Mechanism Simulation Engineer

• Simulating complex electromechanical mechanisms and moving flight hardware
• Performing structural, kinematic and dynamic analysis
• Evaluating launch loads, shock, vibration and transient environments
• Supporting prototype and flight-hardware testing
• Comparing test data with simulation results and improving the design
• Working closely with structures, thermal, GNC, propulsion, manufacturing and systems teams

• 10+ years of experience in spacecraft, launch vehicle or advanced aerospace hardware
• Strong structural analysis, mechanism simulation or multibody dynamics experience
• Experience with tools such as NASTRAN, FEMAP, ANSYS, NX, Simcenter 3D, NX Motion or Amesim
• Knowledge of vibration, shock, structural loads and margins of safety
• Hands-on experience testing and qualifying mechanical flight hardware
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace or Structural Engineering
• Experience with spacecraft mechanisms, deployable systems, robotics, rotating machinery or complex articulated systems would be highly valuable.
• Candidates must meet the relevant ITAR eligibility requirements and be able to obtain a government security clearance.
