Résumé du poste

iO Associates is seeking a Senior Vehicle Dynamics Engineer in the Paris region to own the dynamic behaviour of deployable structures and spacecraft subsystems from concept through production. You will lead dynamics work across core subsystems and be hands-on with tests and integration.

The role requires 5+ years in spacecraft dynamics or related fields, strong multibody dynamics and vib/shock expertise, and familiarity with CAD (CATIA / NX) and FEA tools (Adams, Simscape, NASTRAN).

Qualifications

• 5+ years of spacecraft dynamics or related fields.
• Experience delivering across concept to production cycles.
• Strong capability in multibody dynamics and vib/shock environments.

Responsabilités

• Lead dynamics work across subsystems (attitude, deployment, multibody dynamics).
• Define and execute verification & validation strategies for dynamic performance.
• Provide technical leadership and mentoring within the dynamics discipline.
• Support test campaigns directly with hardware-facing testing.

Description du poste

A fast-growing NewSpace engineering team in the Paris region is hiring a Senior Vehicle Dynamics Engineer to take ownership of the dynamic behaviour of deployable structures and spacecraft subsystems from early concept through qualification and into production.

This is an on-site permanent role, working in a hands-on environment where engineers own subsystems end-to-end and support test campaigns directly.

The role

You’ll lead dynamics work across core subsystems, including:

• Attitude, deployment and multibody dynamics; modal behaviour; structural–dynamic coupling
• Design trades and analysis through concept → detailed design → test & correlation
• Hardware-facing testing: modal / deployment dynamics / vibration & shock, plus integration support
• Defining and executing verification & validation strategies for dynamic performance
• Providing technical leadership and mentoring within the dynamics discipline

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years’ experience in spacecraft dynamics, attitude/deployment dynamics, or NVH/structural dynamics (aerospace or automotive)
• Evidence of delivering across multiple full development cycles (concept to flight/launch/production)
• Strong capability in multibody dynamics, modal analysis, vib/shock environments, and model-to-test correlation
• Familiarity with CAD (e.g. CATIA / NX) and dynamics/FEA tools (e.g. Adams, Simscape, NASTRAN) + confident with hand-calcs as sanity checks
• Proactive, autonomous, collaborative approach; comfortable owning significant technical scope
• Professional English (additional languages helpful)

What’s on offer

• Work that contributes directly to flight hardware and real missions
• High-ownership engineering culture, modern facilities, and strong learning runway
• Competitive compensation with an equity component (where applicable)
• Some flexibility (e.g., regular WFH rhythm) depending on project needs
