How much do propulsion system engineer jobs pay per year?
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a propulsion system engineer?
What are some common challenges faced by propulsion system engineers, and how can they be addressed?
What is the difference between Propulsion System Engineer vs Mechanical Engineer?
| Aspect | Propulsion System Engineer | Mechanical Engineer |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Bachelor's or Master's in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Propulsion Engineering | Bachelor's or Master's in Mechanical Engineering or related field |
| Work Environment | Design, develop, and test propulsion systems for aerospace or automotive industries | Design, analyze, and manufacture mechanical systems across various industries |
| Industry Usage | Primarily aerospace, defense, and space sectors | Broadly used in automotive, manufacturing, energy, and aerospace sectors |
The Propulsion System Engineer specializes in designing and testing propulsion components, often within aerospace and defense industries, requiring specific knowledge of propulsion systems. Mechanical Engineers have a broader focus on mechanical systems across multiple industries. While both roles require strong engineering fundamentals, Propulsion System Engineers focus more on propulsion-specific design and testing, whereas Mechanical Engineers work on a wider range of mechanical systems.

TriVector's Experience and exceptional Performance adds measurable Value to every project. TriVector Services, Inc., is seeking qualified candidates to fill our Human Landing System (HLS) Propulsion Engineer position.
The HLS Propulsion Engineer will work in a highly integrated team performing technical and integration activities to support system development and certification of Auxiliary Propulsion Systems (APS), specifically Reaction Control Systems thrusters. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Follow and understand the HLS partner Systems Engineering approach to design, development, integration and test.
- Data analysis and anomaly resolution as needed.
- Review and provide assessments of HLS provider deliverables (such as milestone products, hazards, verifications, risks, and test reports).
- Support of the Human Lander program through technical insight by providing reviews and risk assessment and recommendations on NASA-partner engine systems and vehicle propulsion system design and development.
- Provide systems insight and lead risk mitigation efforts for Artemis III through Artemis V propulsion systems, identifying technical and programmatic risks and ensuring alignment with NASA safety, mission assurance, and flight readiness objectives.
- Lead systems engineering efforts for thruster integration, coordinating across multidisciplinary teams to ensure propulsion system requirements, interface control, and verification objectives are met in support of mission success.
- Develop models and analysis tools, provide analytical documentation such as trade studies, hazards assessments, fault tolerance designs, certifications for flight, launch vehicle data reviews.
- Provide insight and recommendations for subsystem and in-space environment model fidelity.
- Evaluate performance of system models in ground and flight operations
- Attend technical interchange, project planning, design review and other appropriate meetings to maintain a current knowledge base of design, requirements, issues, action items, and resolution activities.
- Perform system assessments, identify issues, pursue resolutions, document and present to engineering review board with rationale and recommendations.
- Evaluate vehicle changes for impacts to propulsion elements and vehicle integration.
- Verification and validation reviews for propulsion components, subsystems and integrated vehicle.
- Perform analysis and provide systems engineering skills to support various program engineering and integration.
Requirements
Required Qualifications:
- U.S. Citizenship is required.
- A degree in Engineering or related discipline required. Typically, educational requirements are the equivalent of a minimum of a Masters with at least 18 years of experience, or a BS with at least 20 years of experience.
- Must have experience with liquid propulsion system design, analysis, integration or development/verification testing.
- Experience with APS systems, including thrusters and RCS, is a requirement.
- Candidate must have experience with fluid/gas systems modeling
- Must have the capability to plan and perform systems engineering and analysis tasks independently and as a team.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office products such as Power-Point, Excel, and Word is required.
