How you will make an impact:- Manage propulsion system and subsystem requirements from definition through verification and flight delivery.
- Develop verification plans and identify artifacts to demonstrate compliance with customer and mission requirements.
- Perform system-level analyses, including reliability (FMECA), propellant gauging, and mass/power budgeting, to support design and decision-making.
- Account for cross-disciplinary considerations, including mechanical, thermal, electrical, fluidic, software, manufacturing, and test requirements, during design and integration.
- Define program scope and contribute to planning and execution of propulsion development efforts.
- Lead major design reviews, including PDR and CDR, and present technical progress to internal teams and customers.
- Serve as the primary technical interface with customers, ensuring contractual technical deliverables are met.
- Collaborate across engineering teams to resolve technical issues and ensure mission success.
Required Experience:- Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical, Systems Engineering, or related field.
- Strong foundation in systems engineering principles.
- Experience managing requirements, verification planning, and system integration activities.
- Fundamental knowledge of core mechanical, thermal, electrical, fluids, and software principles.
- Ability to work with multidisciplinary engineering teams and communicate effectively with customers.
- Strong technical documentation and presentation skills.
- Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple tasks and track complex program information.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office products (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) for documentation, analysis, and reporting.
Desired Experience:- Knowledge of spacecraft mission design.
- Familiarity with aerospace industry standards and spaceflight qualification practices (NASA, DoD, ESA, ECSS).
- Experience with electric or chemical propulsion system design, integration, or testing.
- Background in reliability engineering and system safety practices, including FMECA and PFMEA/DFMEA.
- Experience contributing to or leading PDR, CDR, or similar technical reviews.
- Familiarity with spacecraft subsystems and their interactions (thermal, power, structures, fluids, software).
- Prior experience supporting or managing complex aerospace or spaceflight programs.
- Familiarity with spacecraft subsystem interfaces (mechanical, thermal, electrical, software).
- Familiarity with risk identification and mitigation in complex engineering programs.
