    Experience modelling free-body dynamic events
    Experience using implicit and explicit non-linear solvers
    Thermal analysis experience

    ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:


    Specific vision abilities required by this job include close vision, distance vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and the ability to focus.

    Regularly required to sit, use hands and fingers, operate computer keyboard and controls, and communicate verbally and in writing.

    Occasional exposure to dust, fumes and moderate levels of noise.

    WHAT TO EXPECT

    We're on a mission to unlock the potential of space to improve life on Earth, but that's not an easy task.

    It takes hard work, determination, relentless innovation, teamwork, grit, and an unwavering commitment to achieving what others often deem impossible.

    Our people out-think, out-work and out-pace.

    We pride ourselves on having each other's backs, checking our egos at the door, and rolling up our sleeves on all tasks big and small.

    We thrive under pressure, work to tight deadlines, and our focus is always on how we can deliver, rather than dwelling on the challenges that stand in the way.
