Job Description

We are seeking highly motivated Propulsion Engineers to design, build, and test propulsion hardware for our launch vehicles. This role is deeply hands-on and ideal for engineers who thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy solving complex problems, and are passionate about building physical systems that go to orbit. Engineers will own specific componentssuch as valves, turbopumps, or combustion chambersas Responsible Engineers (REs), taking them from concept through testing and iteration.

Key Responsibilities

Own propulsion components (e.g., valves, turbopumps, combustion chambers) as the Responsible Engineer.

Design, build, and test hardware across vehicle programs such as Alpha and Eclipse.

Create and iterate on clean-sheet designs of pressurization and propellant systems.

Develop P&IDs, perform fluid system sizing, and select components and instrumentation.

Collaborate with analysts, test teams, and other engineers to solve complex problems.

Diagnose failures, iterate designs, and improve system performance.

Be physically present where the hardware is built and tested (Briggs, Cedar Park).

We are a company committed to creating inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity employer that believes everyone matters.

Skills and Requirements

Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent.

510 years of experience designing, developing, and operating fluid systems.

Strong understanding of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and compressible flow.

Experience with fluid components such as valves, regulators, pressure transducers, tanks, and seals.

Proficiency in designing and testing pressurized systems and subcomponents.

Working knowledge of manufacturing, integration, and quality control for fluid hardware.

Experience with CAD tools (Siemens NX preferred) and creating 2D/3D models.

Familiarity with fluid analysis tools (e.g., REFPROP, GFSSP) and system modeling.

Programming skills for data processing and vehicle modeling.

Demonstrated ability to work with evolving requirements and iterate quickly. Advanced degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or related field.

Experience with liquid propulsion systems, cryogenic fluids, or rocket engines.

Background in aerospace flight production or environmental testing.

Experience with data acquisition systems and instrumentation (e.g., RTDs, flow meters, load cells).

Familiarity with tools such as Python, LabVIEW, GFSSP, and Winplot. null
