As a Senior Engines Design Engineer, you will have extreme ownership over all aspects of a components design, analysis, manufacturing, testing, and validation for an advanced reusable rocket engine (components like thrust chambers, reentry heat shields, injectors, turbomachinery, actuators, ignitors, etc). You will be a key member of engines development team working through all phases of the product lifecycle. You will seek out state-of-the-art design and manufacturing techniques and tools to solve challenging problems, and you will continuously iterate and improve your designs. You must be ready to stay focused, move fast, self-direct, and learn on the fly.

  • Create models, drawings, and coordinate manufacturing of various components for the engines team
  • Develop and execute qualification test plans to ensure readiness for flight (proof, vibration, thermal cycle, life cycle, flow testing, hotfire, etc)
  • Present and clearly communicate design, analysis, and test results
  • Own root cause investigations and redesigns to improve reliability or manufacturing throughput.
  • Track risks and execute appropriate mitigation plans.
  • Develop and maintain test requirements and test plans
  • Manage project schedules, risk, and budget

Qualifications

  • Exceptional command of fundamentals
  • Experience with detailed mechanical design including machined parts, additive parts, weldments, fasteners, seals, and translating/rotating assemblies
  • Experience in designing, analyzing, and testing rocket engine components; thrust chambers, regenerative cooling channels and heatshields, injectors, turbomachinery, actuators, ignitors, gimbals, feed systems, engine layouts, etc.
  • Experience in GD&T, axial/radial tolerance stackups, and material selections
  • Experience post-processing test data to evaluate component performance and health
  • Proficiency in heat transfer, compressible and incompressible flow, and cryogenics
  • Proficiency with CAD tools (Siemens NX preferred)
  • 8+ years of experience in design, build, and testing of rocket engine components
  • Excellent written and verbal communication
  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering, or similar
  • Willing to relocate to Seattle, WA

Benefits

  • Equity - We are pleased to offer equity in the form of stock options to all regular, full-time employees. 
  • Comprehensive benefits program including subsidized medical, dental, and vision insurance 
  • Company-paid life and disability insurance 
  • 401(k) plan with employer match
