The future of aerospace and defense starts here. Ursa Major was founded to revolutionize how America and its allies access and apply high-performance propulsion, from hypersonics to solid rocket motors, satellite maneuvering and launch. We design and deliver propulsion and defense systems that solve the most urgent and critical national security demands.

The Senior Loads & Dynamics Analyst will focus on loads development across multiple motors in support of various vehicles, all-up-rounds, and propulsion systems. The ideal candidate will understand and address the unique challenges presented by each application. This position targets an experienced analyst who brings skills and best practices from prior industry experience with a depth of solid rocket motor knowledge and a capability to mentor others.

The candidate will be expected to lead verification and validation efforts and provide feedback to the SRM design team. This position requires the ability to support the transition of products from a development environment to low-rate initial production then the ramp to full-rate production. This will include assessment of nonconforming hardware and introduction of processes, practices, and approaches that improve organizational efficiency.

The ideal candidate will have the ability to expand into adjacent analyses, such as thermo-structural analysis, to support a multi-disciplinary analysis team. This role is available to work as a hybrid or on-site role out of our Berthoud, Colorado office.
