Your Mission 

As a Propulsion Test Development Engineer, you will join the Propulsion Test Development Team which is an essential part of the Ground Systems Department and acts as an internal engineering service provider to design and procure ground infrastructure. 

The goal of safe, reliable and rapid testing and space launch operations can only be achieved with support from a wide range of rigorously designed and developed ground infrastructure. This includes ground equipment, such as test stands for research & development, qualification and acceptance testing of propulsion systems and rocket stages, as well as entire launchpads. Close cooperation with other departments such as Propulsion Technology and Launch Vehicle is necessary since their requirements dictate the design of the ground support equipment. 

As a Propulsion Test Development Engineer, you play a critical role during the development steps of such facilities.  

More specifically, you will: 

  • Take responsibility for the design of fluid systems for test and launch facilities covering a full project cycle from concept to commissioning phase

  • Select and procure suitable hardware for fluid systems based on the requirements of the different facilities 
  • Draft PFDs and P&IDs for your designed systems 
  • Write technical documentation and contribute to reviews of designed systems 
  • According to your experience, conduct risk assessments and participate in commissioning planning and/or commissioning operations 

Who you are and what you have 

  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in the field of aerospace, mechanical, process engineering or similar 
  • 0 to 5 years of relevant professional experience 
  • In-depth knowledge of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics and their application to real hardware like valves, regulators etc. 
  • Strong analytical skills and able to apply theoretical knowledge to find practical solutions to complex fluid mechanic and/or thermodynamic engineering problems 
  • Basic knowledge in the functional design of high- and low-pressure gas as well as cryogenic liquid systems 
  • Adjusting self-sufficiently and quickly to a changing work environment 
  • Highly organised, effective team player with high attention to detail 
  • Communicating actively and openly in a constructive manner  
  • Can-do attitude 
  • Fluent in English 

Nice to Have: 

  • Experience in modelling and simulating fluid systems by means of software such as Ecosim Pro or Python/MATLAB scripts 
  • Hands-on experience with respect to fluid systems such as assembly of piping systems, participation in commissioning/testing operations, etc. 
  • Fluent in German (written and spoken) 

Benefits
