Description
Space Mechanics Coding Expert (Volunteer Position) | Talisha Aerospace Location: Remote | Commitment: Flexible | Compensation: Unpaid (Founding Volunteer Role) Company: Talisha Aerospace – Building the Future of Reusable Rocket Technology Are you passionate about space exploration and advanced propulsion systems? Do you dream of contributing to breakthrough innovations in orbital mechanics and reusable rockets? Talisha Aerospace invites you to become a part of a bold new journey — not just to space, but to redefine how we get there. 🌌 About Us We are Talisha Aerospace, a newly formed aerospace startup with an ambitious mission: to design and develop reusable rocket technology that transforms access to space. Though we are in our early stages, our focus is razor-sharp, our passion unshakable, and our roadmap firmly aligned with solving real engineering challenges in orbital dynamics, propulsion systems, and reusability. This is a volunteer role — ideal for professionals, researchers, or enthusiasts who want to leave a legacy in the next era of spaceflight. 🔭 Role Overview We are looking for a Space Mechanics Coding Expert to join our core technical team. This is a rare opportunity to apply your knowledge of orbital mechanics, astrodynamics, and numerical simulation in a mission that could change the course of aerospace history. You'll work on the algorithms, models, and simulation environments that govern spacecraft behavior — from launch to landing and beyond. 🛰 Responsibilities Develop and implement algorithms for orbital dynamics, trajectory optimization, and re-entry simulation Write robust and scalable code (e.g., in Python, MATLAB, C++, or Julia) Build simulation tools for rocket staging, attitude control, and fuel optimization Collaborate with propulsion, avionics, and structural engineers Integrate space mechanics calculations into broader system design tools Contribute to research and documentation as part of the core team 🧠 Ideal Background Strong foundation in orbital mechanics, astrodynamics, and space systems engineering Proficiency in scientific programming (Python, C++, MATLAB, or similar) Familiarity with numerical methods, Kalman filtering, and simulation environments Experience with aerospace toolkits (e.g., GMAT, STK, Orekit) is a bonus Excellent problem-solving skills and a collaborative mindset Prior experience in academic or research projects in aerospace or related fields 💡 Why Join Talisha Aerospace? Be part of a pioneering mission that aims to make spaceflight more sustainable and accessible Work alongside passionate innovators and engineers who believe in open collaboration Help shape the technical foundation of a future-defining aerospace company Gain experience and visibility that could become part of your legacy in the space industry 🌍 Important Note This is currently an unpaid volunteer role. We are transparent about this — as a bootstrapped startup, we are not funded (yet). But we're not looking for employees right now; we're looking for founding visionaries who believe in what we’re building and are ready to help lay the groundwork. Your contributions could be instrumental in attracting funding, accelerating development, and establishing Talisha Aerospace as a force in the new space economy. Ready to launch with us? Send us your resume, portfolio, or just a short note on why you want to be part of Talisha Aerospace. 🌠 Let's build rockets that come back — and a future that goes forward. Show more Show less
