Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Design, analyze, fabricate, test, and qualify flight mechanisms (separation systems, landing gear, actuators). Own subsystem from concept through flight, perform structural/kinematic analysis and FEA, author test campaigns and drawings, troubleshoot hardware, work with manufacturing and cross-functional teams, support launch operations and refurbishment.

Build and lead the Launch & Propulsion analysis organization: define analysis philosophy and margin policy; oversee structural, thermal, and CFD analyses; develop toolchain and automated workflows; correlate models with test/flight data; hire and grow the team; set documentation and V&V standards; coordinate with design, test, manufacturing, and assurance; and present substantiation at program milestones.

Lead design, analysis, testing, and manufacturing integration for the vehicle primary structures (airframe, tanks, thrust structure, interstages). Optimize for minimum mass, strength, stiffness, fatigue, thermal resilience, and rapid reuse. Drive FEA and hand calculations, execute structural test campaigns, close failure modes through rapid design-test-learn cycles, and support flight operations and refurbishment.

Lead hydrodynamic design of rocket engine turbopumps from concept through test and qualification. Predict head, flow, efficiency, and suction margin across operating conditions; perform meanline/throughflow and single-/multiphase CFD analyses; define and execute pump test campaigns; iterate with manufacturing; support hot-fire operations, anomaly investigations, and design improvements; develop tools and best practices.

Lead development and analysis of launch and spacecraft trajectories, orbital propagation and station-keeping, mission design and contingency planning, flight dynamics simulation tooling, and cross-disciplinary systems investigations to validate guidance and control profiles.

Own aerospace fluid subsystems from concept through flight, including propulsion valves, feed systems, tanks, pressure controls, and pneumatic systems. Design, analyze, integrate, test, and document hardware while balancing performance, manufacturability, cost, and schedule. Perform fluid, structural, thermal, tolerance, and FEA analyses; execute qualification and acceptance testing; troubleshoot anomalies; and support manufacturing, vehicle integration, hot-fire testing, fill/drain operations, and refurbishment.

Design, analyze, test, and deliver flight mechanisms from concept through flight. Responsibilities include structural and kinematic design for low mass, FEA and tolerance analysis, authoring qualification tests and drawings, hands-on prototyping and manufacturing support, troubleshooting anomalies, and supporting launch operations and refurbishment planning.

Own the design and lifecycle of spacecraft liquid cooling loops for GPU compute hardware. Responsibilities include fluid-system analysis, component sizing, mechanical packaging, ground testbed development, qualification testing, documentation, supplier coordination, anomaly resolution, and cross-functional spacecraft integration. The role requires hands-on hardware development from concept through flight and expertise in fluids, thermal systems, mechanical design, and space-environment qualification.

Own the end-to-end design, analysis, testing, qualification, and flight integration of deployable spacecraft radiator panels and mechanisms. Responsibilities include structural and thermal design, deployment kinematics, mechanism reliability, manufacturing integration, CAD and FEA, ground testbed development, qualification testing, anomaly resolution, and cross-functional spacecraft integration.

Design, analyze, build, test, and flight-qualify vehicle mechanisms (e.g., landing gear, separation systems). Drive structural/kinematic design for low mass while meeting strength, fatigue, and life requirements. Create CAD/FEA models, author test campaigns and drawings, support manufacturing, troubleshoot hardware, and support launch and refurbishment activities.
