About this role
As a Structural Dynamics Engineer at Impulse, your core responsibility will be to determine and validate loads and environments for full vehicles and component subsystems. You will work closely with a fast-paced, agile team that strives to make a high-performance spacecraft from a clean sheet design. Determine critical loads during launch, deployment, on-orbit operation, and ground handling Generate and apply forcing functions for engine-borne dynamic excitation Determine appropriate environments from vibration, acoustic, and shock sources Develop and improve finite element models of primary structures and mechanisms Develop and integrate Craig-Bampton reduced models for launch vehicle integration Generate rigid-body deployment simulations and validate with deployment testing Analyze and direct dynamic testing from pre-test analysis to post-test correlation Effectively communicate results to Responsible Engineers and Designers and collaborate on improvements and solutions
