Jobs at Ursa Major

Provide technical leadership for structural and/or thermal-fluids analysis of aerospace vehicles and propulsion systems. Perform FEA, fatigue, fracture, thermal-stress, CFD, and 1D fluid modeling; validate models against test data; support loads development, anomaly investigations, and nonconforming hardware disposition. Collaborate with design, systems, manufacturing, and test teams while improving analysis methods, mentoring engineers, and supporting safety-critical aerospace systems.

Lead development of guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems from concept to flight-ready software. Design and simulate algorithms, translate requirements into embedded implementations, support HIL and flight test, analyze test data, coordinate across vehicle design, avionics, structures and testing, and document results while mitigating technical risk.

Perform CFD and 1D lumped-parameter fluid analyses for rocket engines, predict component and system performance, build transient and steady models, support testing and anomaly investigations, recommend design improvements, and mentor peers to grow propulsion fluid-analysis capabilities.

Lead loads development and vehicle dynamics analysis for propulsion and vehicle programs. Develop load spectra for service life, verify and validate analytical models, anchor models to test data, support GFEM development, propagate loads to components, assess nonconforming hardware with manufacturing, and mentor peers while improving analytical methods and tools.
