Senior Propulsion/Fluids Systems Analyst

We are developing propulsion, life support and thermal control systems for use in Low Earth Orbit. We expect these fluid systems to require a variety of analysis to design and eventually certify the vehicles for human-rated use.

Responsibilities:

• MethaGox Thrust Chamber analysis to include CFD modeling of film cooling for different sizes of RCS thrusters.
• Life support system analysis to include CFD of air distribution systems and cabin air volumes
• Planning and participating in test campaigns, and  anchoring analysis with test data
• Creating and reviewing system models of pressure fed systems and associated tank, valve and line sizing for Propulsion, Life Support and Thermal Control Systems
• Efficiently developing analysis models with commercially available CFD programs
• Developing and teaching to other engineers best practices in analysis
• Presenting analysis for NASA or other certification programs

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or equivalent
• 3+ years experience with CFD software packages in industry: Star-CCM+, Fluent, or equivalent
• 3+ years experience with thermo-hydraulic analysis software packages in industry: SINDA/FLUINT, GFSSP, or equivalent

Preferred Qualifications:

• Familiarity with structural analysis packages in industry: NASRAN, Ansys, or equivalent
• Prior experience with space hardware in a fast-paced manufacturing setting
• Master's  or terminal degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or equivalent
• Leadership experience on an engineering or project team
• Establishing analysis best practices and methodologies
• Completion of certification effort for flight hardware
