Vast is seeking a Systems Engineer, Spacecraft Design & Simulation to lead the development and evolution of their spacecraft simulation toolchain, which is crucial for scaling their mission factory. This role focuses on spacecraft systems engineering, defining governing equations, boundary conditions, and expected model behavior, rather than software engineering. The successful candidate will own the digital twin toolchain, ensuring it serves as the primary engineering record and enables rapid iteration and analysis for various spacecraft subsystems. This position requires a strong analytical mindset, broad subsystem knowledge, and a rigorous validation approach to ensure the accuracy and reliability of all physics models.
