Conduct development and verification tests on liquid rocket engines and subsystems. Plan test campaigns, prepare and maintain test benches, troubleshoot issues, develop safety procedures, perform upgrades, and support test bench design and commissioning. The role requires engineering studies, hands-on complex-system testing, fluid and mechanical system design, physical work in confined spaces, and the ability to operate safely under high-stress conditions.

Manage public positioning and executive communications for the CEO and leadership team. Identify speaking, media, conference, podcast, and thought-leadership opportunities; develop messaging strategies; prepare speeches, briefings, interviews, and Q&As; coordinate public appearances; manage media requests; and align executive communications with corporate communications, public affairs, and broader company strategy.

Develop and own guidance, navigation, and control systems for an orbital launch vehicle. Responsibilities include architecting navigation systems, tuning algorithms using flight data, monitoring flight and ground integrity, managing vehicle GNSS applications, and conducting GNSS integrity studies. The role requires expertise in inertial navigation, Kalman filters, GNSS testing, spoofing and jamming resilience, MATLAB, Python, C++, and technical documentation.

Lead reusable-launcher architecture development and converge vehicle design decisions across performance, risk, operability, lifecycle cost, and profitability. Evaluate multidisciplinary models, direct further analysis, and coordinate trade studies spanning propulsion, structures, avionics, trajectories, production, logistics, launch operations, recovery, and refurbishment. Apply systems engineering and configuration-management expertise while providing strategic direction and communicating decisions to engineering, program, and executive stakeholders.

Support aerospace propulsion engineering by developing and validating engine cycle calculation models, component databases, GUIs, statistical analyses, data visualizations, and automated workflows. The intern will analyze engine operating and load-point data, investigate data quality, define test cases for orifice modeling, and conduct sensitivity studies to improve model fidelity and support engine design and testing.

Design and develop launch vehicle mechanisms, including stage and fairing separation systems, actuators, and umbilical systems, from concept through qualification and acceptance. Define requirements, lead trade studies, optimize manufacturing and performance, release drawings, and support testing. Collaborate with structures, propulsion, avionics, production, and integration teams while applying CAD, sizing, GD&T, materials, manufacturing, and structural analysis expertise.

Design, implement, maintain, and audit security controls across endpoints, identity, cloud, networks, and applications. Develop secure configuration baselines, monitor telemetry, investigate incidents, coordinate remediation, automate security checks with scripting, and document technical requirements and runbooks. The role requires hands-on security engineering, technical auditing against CIS Benchmarks and internal standards, identity and access protection, and collaboration with IT and engineering teams.

Leads Isar Aerospace’s global launch and test infrastructure strategy, including identifying and securing sites, partnerships, leases, and investments. Oversees multidisciplinary teams delivering launch pads, test facilities, propulsion infrastructure, and ground support equipment from concept through commissioning. Responsibilities include executive stakeholder management, negotiations, permitting, construction, capital planning, risk assessment, safety, schedule and budget performance, and organizational development.

Provides executive support to the Chief of Staff by managing calendars, priorities, meetings, briefing materials, action items, travel, leadership routines, and sensitive information. Coordinates stakeholders across the organization, supports presentations and special projects, identifies bottlenecks, and improves CEO Office processes. Requires strong organization, communication, discretion, adaptability, and proficiency with productivity tools, including PowerPoint.

Ensures externally supplied aerospace materials, components, assemblies, and processes meet quality, regulatory, and customer requirements. Responsibilities include supplier qualification, audits, source inspections, performance scorecards, corrective actions, root cause reviews, first article inspections, risk assessments, and continuous improvement. The role partners with Supply Chain, Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality teams, investigates supplier-related issues, supports containment, and maintains audit and compliance records.

Leads product and mission assurance across aerospace development and production programs. Establishes assurance frameworks, manages technical risks, oversees lifecycle activities, chairs design and qualification reviews, supports anomaly investigations, and evaluates product readiness. Partners with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure compliance, traceability, product integrity, and mission readiness throughout the operational lifecycle.

Build and improve digital manufacturing solutions using Tulip applications, workflows, and data structures. Partner with manufacturing teams to define scalable processes, deliver and support shopfloor solutions, train users, and identify continuous improvement opportunities. Collaborate with Global IT on integrations involving SAP, Teamcenter, machines, and other systems.

Design and integrate rocket engine hardware from concept through qualification and production. Responsibilities include engine architecture, structural components, fluid routing, subsystem packaging, CAD modeling, manufacturing drawings, interface management, mass and cost optimization, and structural and thermal analysis. The role collaborates with fluid systems, combustion, structures, manufacturing, and testing teams to deliver reliable, manufacturable propulsion hardware.

Design and size fluid systems for rocket test and launch facilities (cryogenic propellant and high-pressure gas systems). Select and procure hardware, produce PFDs/P&IDs and technical documentation, run simulations and analyses, lead design reviews and risk assessments, and support factory/site acceptance, commissioning, and test/launch operations.
