Propulsion Systems Engineer

A rocket engine, space thruster, and chemical propulsion design and development client is looking for someone to join their Systems Engineering team.

This is a critical role supporting space satellite propellant and other systems for key spacecraft manufacturers.

You will work closely with the National and European Space Agencies on defence and scientific projects.

Due to continued growth of the Engineering team, there is an opportunity to join their Systems Engineering team, with training, support, and a commitment to professional development.

Skills

• Mechanical and fluidic system engineering experience.
• Ability to communicate effectively with a range of stakeholders, playing a key role in project teams and working closely with customers when needed.
• Degree level in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related subject.
• Decision making: taking action consistent with facts, constraints, and consequences.

Duties

• Perform pressurized propulsion system trade-off analysis based on initial, top-level inputs.
• This role requires flexibility and the ability to meet ambitious and often fluctuating deadlines.
• Review and interpret higher-level spacecraft requirements, generating system-level requirements.
• Perform system design including electrical, harnessing, routing, and schematic components.
• Design and select thermal equipment using system analysis of fluidic, performance, structural, thermal, reliability, radiation, hazard, safety, failure modes effects, and critical FMECA analysis.
• Advise on manufacturing and assembly plans, processes, and procedures.
