💼 About This Role

You'll join Vast's Structural Dynamics team to predict low and high-frequency load environments for artificial-gravity human-rated space stations. You'll generate frequency-based design and test requirements for quasi-statics, random vibrations, shock, and acoustics. This role offers the chance to contribute to next-generation space stations enabling permanent human presence in space.

🎯 What You'll Do

• Derive internal load and environment requirements from system level requirements.
• Assist product groups with vibration and shock requirement tailoring and test verification.
• Assess vendor hardware capabilities against in-house predictions.
• Develop post-processing tools for dynamic analyses and tests.
• Build, maintain, and correlate prediction models based on gathered test data.

📋 Requirements

• Bachelor degree in Mechanical or Aerospace engineering.
• 1+ years of professional experience in loads and environment prediction.

✨ Nice to Have

• Spacecraft and/or payload background through full lifecycle.
• Hands-on test experience in vibration labs.
• Familiarity with Femap/NASTRAN.

🎁 Benefits & Perks

• 🏖️ Generous PTO up to 20+ days vacation for exempt staff.
• 🏥 100% medical, dental, vision coverage for employees and dependents.
• 🤑 Company equity as part of compensation package.
