Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Inversion as an employer.

What you need

  • Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, a related field, or equivalent technical experience
  • Typically 5+ years of professional experience in loads, structural dynamics, multibody dynamics, or related analysis for aerospace, defense, or similarly demanding applications
  • Strong fundamentals in rigid-body dynamics, structural dynamics, vibration, transient response, and mechanical system behavior
  • Experience developing and applying multibody dynamics models for mechanisms, deployment systems, separation events, or other complex dynamic hardware
  • Experience defining and evaluating mechanical loads and dynamic environments for flight hardware or other high-consequence systems
  • Familiarity with finite element analysis tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, NASTRAN, FEMAP, or equivalent, with emphasis on modal, transient, and dynamic structural analysis

Nice to have

  • Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, a related field, or equivalent experience
  • Experience owning both loads/structural dynamics and multibody dynamics analysis for a vehicle or mechanism development program
  • Experience with deployment mechanisms, separation systems, release events, or payload delivery systems
  • Experience generating design loads and dynamic requirements used to size structures, mechanisms, and interfaces
  • Experience supporting test planning, instrumentation definition, model correlation, and post-test analysis

Worth weighing

  • Position requires in-office presence
  • No specific benefits or perks mentioned
  • Salary range provided but may vary based on individual factors
  • Fast-paced and ambiguous development environment may not suit everyone.
