Teams at Catalyx Space Inc.

Own the integrated engineering schedule across spacecraft subsystems, coordinate dependencies, procurement, vendors, and test activities, and maintain the critical path to vehicle milestones. Lead weekly engineering reviews, manage risks and change control, track commitments, report program status to leadership, and implement practical program tracking tools. The role supports complex hardware programs through design, build, integration, and testing.

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.

Own spacecraft and reentry system definition, integration, validation, and operational readiness. Responsibilities include requirements flowdown, system budgets, interface definition, architecture trades, CONOPS, timelines, verification and validation, configuration management, FMECA, regulatory coordination, design reviews, and system-level documentation across multidisciplinary aerospace teams.
