Job description

TRC is working alongside a nimble firm in the aerospace arena that is seeking a Sr Propulsion Engineer to help a small team of engineers advance novel concepts for high-speed flight research through modeling and simulation. US Citizenship required.  Position can sit remote or in Atlanta.  


This Propulsion Engineer will combine deep expertise in propulsion and thermal systems with hands-on hardware development experience. The ideal candidate has worked on propulsion system design, modeling, analysis, integration, and testing across rocket, airbreathing, or advanced propulsion systems. This is a highly technical role for an engineer who enjoys balancing analytical work (performance modeling, thermal/fluid analysis, design studies) with hands-on activities such as system integration, test preparation, and hot-fire testing. Candidate must have thermal desktop experience.


Key Responsibilities

  • Perform propulsion system design studies, cycle analyses, and performance trade assessments.

  • Design and develop propulsion components including thrust chambers, ignition systems, valves, tanks, and pressurization systems.

  • Create thermal and fluid system models to evaluate performance and reliability.

  • Support propulsion system integration across mechanical, electrical, and fluid subsystems.

  • Participate in ground testing, data analysis, and model validation.

  • Collaborate with suppliers, partners, and customers, including government stakeholders.

  • Present technical progress, system performance, and development plans to customers.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.

  • Strong understanding of propulsion systems, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, and combustion.

  • Experience with CAD tools such as SolidWorks, NX, CATIA, or Creo.

  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills.

  • U.S. Citizenship and ability to obtain a DoD Secret Clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Master's degree and 5+ years of relevant aerospace experience.

  • Experience with liquid rocket engine integration and testing.

  • Knowledge of cryogenic systems, fluid network modeling (GFSSP, ROCETS), and aerospace hardware.

  • Programming experience in Python, MATLAB, C/C++, or Fortran.

  • Leadership experience or desire to lead technical teams.
