SpaceX
Redmond, WA, USA
SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars. LOADS AND DYNAMICS ENGINEER, SATELLITES (STARLINK)
Dynamics is responsible for low and high frequency loads, vibration, and forcing functions for SpaceX satellites during ground transportation, ascent (launch), and on-orbit operation. Challenges vary from ensuring that the satellites can tolerate the harsh vibration of launch vehicle excitations to ensuring that micro-vibrations on-orbit don’t adversely affect payload pointing. Responsibilities also include database design and software programming for tool development. This role will also be responsible for test planning, setup, execution, and data processing. Dynamics engineers are expected to have a strong intuition of the frequency domain in...
