  • Lead component and system design for solid propulsion systems including hot gas thrusters, insulation, and pressure vessels.
  • Develop design concepts, 3D models, and detailed manufacturing drawings for aerospace components.
  • Conduct trade studies to develop component specifications and technical procedures.
  • Participate in shop floor activities to address nonconforming hardware and support production meetings.
  • Support engineering drawing updates and manage configuration change boards.
  • Develop test plans and conduct technical reviews for risk reduction and environmental testing.
  • Prepare technical reports for tolerance studies, engineering analyses, and failure investigations.
  • Create and deliver technical presentations for internal and external customers.

What we're looking for

  • Must be able to obtain a US Secret Security Clearance.
  • Bachelor's degree with at least 6 years of mechanical design experience, or a graduate degree with at least 4 years of experience.
  • At least 10 years of mechanical design experience in lieu of a degree.
  • Experience with CAD software tools (CREO) and PLM Systems (Windchill) is preferred.
