As a Staff Propulsion Engineer at Air Vehicles, you will serve as a key contributor in the selection and integration of Solid Rocket Motors (SRMs), ignition systems, Thrust Vector Control (TVC) systems, and ordnance on missile platforms. Your daily tasks include designing prototype components, conducting ground static fire tests, and collaborating with SRM vendors to develop strategic partnerships. You will also lead CAD design for structural integration and motor cases, ensuring compliance with manufacturing methods such as machining and filament winding. The role requires extensive experience in propulsion engineering, particularly with tactical missiles and launch vehicles, along with proficiency in internal ballistics codes and propellant burn-back models. Preferred skills include hands-on testing experience, knowledge of TVC systems, and expertise in NX/Teamcenter, Python, and MATLAB. This position demands a deep understanding of solid rocket motor integration challenges at scale within the defense industry.
