Résumé du poste

Gama, a NewSpace startup based in Ivry-sur-Seine near Paris, seeks a Senior Vehicle Dynamics Engineer to own dynamic behavior of deployable structures from concept through qualification to production. You will shape a growing engineering team and work with international experts.

You will drive multibody dynamics, modal analysis, and vibration testing while mentoring juniors and delivering flight‑proven solutions for harsh launch and orbital environments.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands‑on experience in spacecraft dynamics, attitude and deployment dynamics, or NVH/structural dynamics in aerospace or automotive, ideally within a fast‑paced New Space environment.
• Multiple full development cycles under your belt: hardware from blank sheet to orbit, launch pad, or production more than once.
• Deep expertise in multibody dynamics, modal analysis, vibration/shock environments, and correlation of models to test data.
• Fluency with CAD and dynamics/FEA tools; comfort with hand calculations to sanity‑check results.
• Strong analytical skills, a proactive attitude, excellent interpersonal skills and unbounded curiosity.
• Autonomy, and a willingness to be fully responsible for a significant part of the finished product.
• A proven track record of delivering reliable dynamic performance for harsh environments.
• A willingness to mentor juniors and provide technical leadership for dynamics analysis practices.
• Professional level English — further languages welcome.

Responsabilités

• Own the dynamic analysis of deployable structures and spacecraft subsystems, including attitude dynamics, deployment dynamics, modal behavior, and structural‑dynamic coupling.
• Drive design trades and analyses from early concept through detailed design and test.
• Get hands‑on with hardware for modal testing, deployment dynamics testing, vibration/shock testing, and system integration.
• Build robust, flight‑proven solutions that meet aggressive mass and stability targets in demanding launch and orbital environments.
• Define and execute the dynamic verification and validation strategies for your subsystems.
• Mentor junior engineers and serve as a technical reference for dynamics analysis practices.
