Role Overview: - As a consulting Propulsion Lead, you will own the end-to-end engineering lifecycle for our missions, ensuring seamless integration of complex systems while mentoring teams and shaping our technical strategy. Key Responsibilities: - Design & Development: Lead the design of propulsion systems, ensuring performance, reliability, and compliance with mission requirements. - Team Leadership: Manage team members, including tasking and leading weekly meetings. - System Architecture: Translate high-level requirements into detailed subsystem architecture (flow control, filtering, thruster interfaces). - Cross-Functional Coordination: Collaborate with fluids, thermal, structural, and software teams for hardware integration. - Testing: Define and execute test campaigns, including qualification, acceptance, and environmental testing. - Trade Studies: Analyze system-level trade-offs regarding thruster types, pressurization strategies, and fluid conditioning. - Documentation: Maintain interface control drawings, functional block diagrams, test reports, and FMEA artifacts. - Compliance: Ensure designs adhere to NASA and international standards for launch safety and contamination control. What We're Looking For: - Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering. - Experience: 5+ years designing and testing propulsion systems for spacecraft. - Technical Depth: Deep understanding of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and monopropellant-based systems. - Hands-on Skills: Experience with pressure testing, leak checks, and firing tests. - Software Proficiency: Skilled with MATLAB/Simulink, SystemModeler, or equivalent. - Leadership: Proven ability to lead teams and manage priorities in fast-paced, ambiguous environments. Nice-to-Have: - Familiarity with Falcon 9 or commercial rideshare integration standards. - Knowledge of modeling tools like ROCKETCEA or NPSS. - Experience with mixed-quality fluid delivery (particulates, microbial risk in propellant-grade water). - Understanding of microgravity fluid handling (sloshing, water hammer). Why Join Us?: - Equity Stake: Substantial ownership in a high-growth startup. - Remote-Friendly: Flexible hours and location. - Cutting-Edge Tech: Work on missions that redefine space sustainability.
