Teams at Catalyx Space Inc.

Develop and execute LS-DYNA finite element models for structural simulations, including meshing, contact definitions, beam and cable elements, implicit and explicit analyses, and dynamic relaxation preload methods. Interpret results, validate initial conditions, recommend design improvements, collaborate with engineering teams, and document methodologies and findings. Preferred experience includes nonlinear structural, impact, crash, transient, quasi-static, optimization, and validation analyses.

Designs, develops, validates, and deploys mechanical ground support equipment, test fixtures, rotators, and ground station hardware. Creates SolidWorks models and drawings, applies GD&T and tolerance stack-ups, integrates electromechanical components, supports spacecraft integration and qualification testing, coordinates vendor fabrication, and maintains PLM documentation and configuration.

Design and analyze spacecraft and reentry vehicle structures using SolidWorks and FEA. Perform tolerance analysis, GD&T, assembly planning, harness routing, integration, environmental test correlation, and DFM/DfAM. Coordinate vendors, procurement, manufacturing, inspection, flight hardware delivery, and engineering documentation. Participate hands-on in spacecraft integration and qualification testing.
