- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
- 2+ years of experience with mechanical design, development, fabrication, assembly, or test (internships included)
- Strong proficiency in CAD tools (Siemens NX, SolidWorks) - the ability to model complex three-dimensional geometry of the combustion chamber cooling channel.
- Familiarity with aerospace safety and reliability practices.
- Ability to work as a teammate and independently to achieve ambitious goals.
- Prior experience designing of liquid rocket engine, combustion chambers, pre-burners, igniters or other rocket systems.
- Practical experience in test bench setup and performance diagnostics.
- Hands-on engineering (Full-stack: computer to wrench to broom).
- Experience in a start-up or rapid development environment.
- Experience with tools such as ANSYS and MATLAB.
- Design and develop a variety of combustion devices of liquid rocket engine, combustion chambers, pre-burners, igniters. Create models and drawings of parts and assemblies. Perform calculations and analyses with team support.
- Own requirements definition, architecture trades, and system-level integration for assigned subsystems.
- Work with manufacturing team to create finished engine parts. Support parts through 3d-printing, machining, post processing, and inspection. Incorporate feedback to improve design for manufacturing.
- Develop and execute test programs, analyze experimental data, and apply findings to optimize designs.
- Collaborate across mechanical, aerospace, and controls engineering teams to deliver flight-ready hardware.
