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.
• Effective communication skills to engage with a range of stakeholders, playing a key role in project teams and working closely with customers as needed.
• Degree-level qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related subject.
• Decision-making skills, with the ability to take action based on facts, constraints, and consequences.

Duties

• Perform pressurized propulsion system trade-off analysis based on initial, top-level inputs.
• Adaptability to meet ambitious and often fluctuating deadlines.
• Review and interpret higher-level spacecraft requirements to generate system-level requirements.
• Design system components including electrical systems, harnessing, routing, and schematics.
• Conduct thermal equipment design and selection using system analysis encompassing fluidic, performance, structural, thermal, reliability, radiation, hazard, safety, and failure modes effects and criticality analysis (FMECA).
• Provide advice on manufacturing and assembly planning, processes, and procedures.
