TL;DR · Mechanical Engineer, Rocket Motor Systems

As a Mechanical Engineer in the Rocket Motor Systems team, you will play a crucial role in designing and analyzing solid rocket motor components such as motor cases, nozzles, propellant grains, igniters, and ignition safety systems. Your daily tasks will include performing CAD design activities, conducting finite element analysis for structural and thermal systems, generating engineering drawings, and overseeing the development of critical subsystems from inception to completion. This role requires proficiency in NX CAD software and Abaqus FEA, along with a solid understanding of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and hardware manufacturability. Experience with propulsion systems is essential, as you will be working on complex projects that demand meticulous attention to detail and strong initiative.

What you'll do

  • Perform CAD design activities for mechanical components of rocket motor systems.
  • Conduct finite element analysis to assess structural and thermal performance.
  • Generate, review, and release engineering drawings for product definition.
  • Develop critical subsystems from initial concept through final production.
  • Ensure manufacturability and apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing principles.

What we're looking for

  • 2+ years of experience in mechanical design and analysis.
  • Proficiency in NX CAD software and Abaqus FEA software.
  • Strong understanding of hardware manufacturability and GD&T certification.
  • Experience with propulsion systems and thermal system analysis.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret Security Clearance.
