EVONA; Denver (CO); On-site; USD 162,000 - 198,000; Full time

Job summary

EVONA is seeking a Senior Dynamic Environments Engineer to own dynamic analysis and testing across spacecraft hardware. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with satellite or spacecraft hardware and a strong background in structural dynamics, shock, and vibration.

You will lead analyses across shock, random vibration and acoustic environments, support flight hardware testing, develop predictions, and present results at customer reviews.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of relevant engineering experience.
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or higher.
• Satellite or spacecraft hardware experience.
• Strong background in structural dynamics and dynamic environments.
• Hands-on shock and vibration analysis/testing.
• Strong understanding of vibroacoustics, structural mechanics and dynamics.
• Experience with NASTRAN/FEMAP is highly desirable.
• MATLAB or Python experience is beneficial.
• Transient shock / SRS / pyroshock experience would be a major advantage.

Responsibilities

• Lead dynamic environments analysis across shock, random vibration and acoustic environments
• Support shock and random vibration testing of flight hardware and propulsion systems
• Perform analysis from component level through to complete spacecraft systems
• Develop predictions and evaluate hardware against flight environments
• Support qualification and sign-off of flight hardware
• Translate customer requirements into analysis and test activities; present technical results through customer design reviews and reports

Job description

Senior Dynamic Environments Engineer | Spacecraft

Up to $180,000 + benefits

I'm working with a growing space technology company looking for a Senior Dynamic Environments Engineer to take ownership of dynamic analysis and testing across advanced spacecraft hardware.

This is specifically for someone who has worked hands-on with satellite or spacecraft hardware. If your background includes transient shock, SRS or pyroshock, I'd particularly like to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

• Lead dynamic environments analysis across shock, random vibration and acoustic environments
• Support shock and random vibration testing of flight hardware and propulsion systems
• Perform analysis from component level through to complete spacecraft systems
• Develop predictions and evaluate hardware against flight environments
• Support qualification and sign-off of flight hardware
• Translate customer requirements into analysis and test activitiesPresent technical results through customer design reviews and reports
• Work closely with design, manufacturing, analysis and program teams

The core responsibilities around shock, random vibration, acoustic environments and spacecraft-level analysis come directly from the role requirements. The position also involves hands-on dynamic testing and customer-facing technical work.

What I’m looking for

• 5+ years of relevant engineering experience
• Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering
• Satellite or spacecraft hardware experience
• Strong background in structural dynamics and dynamic environments
• Hands-on shock and vibration analysis/testing
• Strong understanding of vibroacoustics, structural mechanics and dynamics
• Experience with NASTRAN/FEMAP is highly desirable
• MATLAB or Python experience is beneficial
• Transient shock / SRS / pyroshock experience would be a major advantage

The degree, experience and core dynamics requirements are specified in the position criteria. NASTRAN/FEMAP, MATLAB/Python and space or satellite hardware experience are also specifically highlighted.

Important:

This isn't a launch vehicle dynamics search. I'm specifically interested in engineers who have worked on satellites, spacecraft, spacecraft subsystems or spaceflight hardware.

Compensation: up to $180,000, dependent on experience
