Senior Ballistics Analyst

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. Role Overview The Senior Ballistician will support the research, design, analysis, test, and evaluation efforts that define the performance of the next generation of SRM technologies. As a Senior Ballistician, you will provide technical analysis results, inputs to design & manufacturing, and deliver innovative solutions to the complex ballistic and energetic challenges facing the industry. Key Responsibilities Perform ballistics analysis to meet programmatic requirements and inform/validate design Develop, refine, and validate computational methods and tools to predict and analyze propellant performance and rocket motor ballistic performance Perform test data review and be capable of drawing meaningful conclusions to influence future designs Assist in preparing and presenting technical ballistic results to government partners and customers with the ability to explain the results Support in the characterization, testing, and modeling of energetic materials Support rapid response failure investigations, failure analysis and facilitate production deviation closures to meet engineering requirements and mission objectives Collaborate with the systems, design, and manufacturing teams to ensure motor performance meets performance requirements while remaining manufacturable Organize/prepare/present major program efforts and findings to internal and external customers, including government and commercial entities Other duties as assigned Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field 4+ years of experience in Solid Rocket Motors, ballistics, or engineering design/analysis Demonstrated technical work experience in energetics performance analysis Experience with experimental design and data analysis Proficiency in CLWire, SPP, or similar ballistic analysis tools Familiarity with control theory and its application to engineering problems Experience working with cross-functional teams, interfacing with internal/external customers <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"",
