About Gravitics
At Gravitics, we're not just exploring space—we're building it. We're creating the infrastructure for a thriving space economy, enabling humanity to flourish beyond Earth. Our vision is bold, but we're not just dreamers; we're doers. We design and manufacture the large-scale structures and systems that will power human and robotic activity in Earth orbit and beyond. If you're ready to lay the foundations for a new era in space, embrace a culture of relentless learning and innovation, and contribute to a future where humanity's reach extends farther, Gravitics is the place for you. Let's build the future, together.
About the Role
To build our space systems, we need rockstars of all experience levels who can directly work the full product lifecycle of several challenging assemblies, including pressurized structures, launch adapters, mechanisms, tooling, and more.
Responsibilities:
- Create detailed component and assembly drawings incorporating an understanding of GD&T and tolerance stack-ups
- Apply first-order hand calculations and empirical formulas to assess and iterate on your designs rapidly
- Build finite element models to assess your designs in detail and analyze your structures to prove they meet the needs of the vehicle
- Own the design, development, and implementation of custom tooling in support of our programs
- Work with suppliers and our manufacturing team to make your designs reality. This includes:
- Managing the schedule/budget for structural hardware that you own
- Tracking and dispositioning non-conformances
- Be a reliable expert of your system, from concept to mission control console
About You
You’re a successful candidate if you are a giver, not a taker. You have an ability to make things happen. You are exceptional at several things, yet willing to take on efforts in areas of weakness.
Required Attributes
- Demonstrated past ownership of complex projects.
- Knowledge of loads such as pressure, vibration, shock, thermal, and how to design for them.
- 2+ years of industry experience in mechanical or aerospace engineering.
- Familiarity with CAD and Analysis packages such as NX and Simcenter 3D or similar.
- Strong understanding and application of drafting standards and GD&T (ASME Y14.5) in creating drawings.
- Bachelor’s degree in an applicable field.
Bonus Points for
- A proven history of successful hardware in launch vehicles or space systems.
- Experience working with safety critical systems, pressure vessels, docking/berthing and/or deployment mechanisms.
- Experience with writing and executing on structural test plans
- Deep working knowledge in analysis of welds and other joints, design for manufacturability, and heat treat properties.
