The posting

The future of aerospace and defense starts here.

Ursa Major was founded to revolutionize how America and its allies access and apply high-performance propulsion, from hypersonics to solid rocket motors, satellite maneuvering and launch. We design and deliver propulsion and defense systems that solve the most urgent and critical national security demands.

As a Loads and Dynamics Analyst II you will train, under the L&D lead, on loads development across multiple motors in support of various vehicles, all-up-rounds, and propulsion systems. This will include assessment of nonconforming hardware and introduction of processes, practices, and approaches that improve organizational efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform loads development for motor and vehicle programs
  • Perform load spectrum development for service life assessment
  • Assess motor performance under dynamic loads such as random vibration and shock
  • Perform component and system level dynamics analysis
  • Develop, verify, and validate structural models
  • Work closely with test teams; identify test activities and instrumentation necessary to anchor analytical models
  • Propagate loads to vehicle and motor components
  • Collaborate with the manufacturing team to assess nonconforming hardware for development and flight components and provide recommended dispositions and repairs

Required Qualifications

  • B.S. degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a comparable field
  • 2+ years of experience performing structural analysis
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment
  • Experience in dynamic analysis methods (structural dynamics, dynamic loads, acoustics, modal, random and sine vibration, and shock response)
  • Experience in loads development for vehicle and/or motor applications
  • Experience anchoring analytical models to physical testing

Preferred Qualifications

  • M.S. degree or higher in Mechanical, Aerospace Engineering, or a comparable field, ideally focusing on solid mechanics, fatigue, fracture, or structural dynamics
  • GFEM development and model grounding experience
  • Low Cycle Fatigue Analysis (LCF, crack initiation predicted by a strain-life/e-N approach)
  • Experience performing Finite Element Analysis (FEA/FEM) using commercial codes (e.g., ANSYS, Abaqus, or NASTRAN-based solvers)
  • Experience with Femap/Nastran
  • Experience taking components through dynamic acceptance and qualification testing
  • A strong theoretical background in heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and/or compressible flow
  • Thermal-Structural static analysis experience particularly dealing with nonlinear materials and large strains

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
