Role Summary

We are looking for a Separation Dynamics Engineer to model and analyse separation events in launch vehicles. The role supports mission design, vehicle configuration, aero-thermal requirements at separation, flight sequencing, and assessment of separation mechanisms, helping ensure every stage and payload separates safely and reliably.

Key Responsibilities

- Model and simulate separation events, environments, and dynamics for launch vehicles and spacecraft.
- Perform separation dynamics analysis to ensure safe and reliable separation, accounting for all dispersions.
- Support mission design and flight sequencing activities.
- Assess the adequacy of separation mechanisms and support related vehicle configuration and aero-thermal requirements.
- Coordinate with the Mission, Control, Propulsion, Aerodynamics, and Space Mechanisms teams.
- Support ground tests and post-flight data analysis of separation events.
- Maintain complete and detailed documentation of all analyses and activities.

Technical Skills

- Fundamentals of rigid body dynamics and kinematics.




- Basics of multi-body dynamics and flight mechanics of rockets.
- Understanding of launch vehicle systems and dynamics.
- Basic knowledge of aerodynamics and propulsion.

Tools

- HyperWorks, MSC ADAMS, or any multi-body dynamics tool.
- MATLAB and/or Python.
- CAD tools such as CATIA or SolidWorks (basic level).

Qualifications

- Essential: M.Tech (or equivalent) in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Flight Mechanics, or Flight Dynamics.
- Optional: 0–2 years of experience in dynamics, simulations, or a related domain.
- Preferable: Academic project or internship experience in multi-body dynamics or flight dynamics, a basic understanding of 6DoF simulations, and familiarity with structures.
