We are looking for a skilled, fast-learning individual who will serve as a central member of the team and take immediate ownership of rocket engine design efforts as a responsible engineer.  This role will be part of the technical organization, responsible for clean sheet system design, development, and validation of a variety of propulsion hardware, as well as technical guidance and mentoring of a team responsible for engine hardware. Candidates will be expected to have ownership from the initial concept phase to a production-ready design.

Responsibilities:

  • Liquid rocket engine system design and analysis, including performance predictions and packaging to meet requirements
  • Clean sheet design and system integration of engine components
  • Design modifications of existing components and prototypes to increase performance, improve manufacturability, or resolve limitations
  • Mentor other engineers at Ursa Major on topics including design of components, system sizing, component testing, and system-level architecture and development for multiple engine programs
  • Derive requirements from top level engine and test objectives
  • Write, review, and update work instructions for the assembly of engine components as well as establish appropriate acceptance and qualification tests
  • Assemble and test first article prototypes
  • Work closely with interfacing teams to ensure successful integration of component designs into the engine system.  Support validation and recursive design during engine development.

 

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering
  • 5+ years of relevant mechanical design experience
  • Liquid propellant rocket engine design, test, or analysis
  • Demonstrated proficiency with computer aided design and drafting 
  • Experience with geometric dimensioning and tolerancing per ASME Y14.5
  • Working knowledge of and hands-on experience with fluid, mechanical, and electrical systems
  • Strong understanding of aerospace and defense industry standards and requirements
  • Desire to take ownership and help wherever needed on the team
  • Able to delegate tasks and lead large project scope
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and stay flexible based on customer demands and company priorities along with daily firefighting

Desired Experience 

  • Master's or PhD in mechanical or aerospace engineering
  • Prior track record leading technical teams
  • Demonstrated proficiency with basic principles of design for additive manufacturing
  • Demonstrated proficiency with fundamental manual or CNC machining equipment and processes (milling, turning)
  • Familiarity with closed cycle rocket engines
  • Experience operating in ISO 9001 or AS9100 certified organizations
  • Experience with SMC-S-016 Test Requirements
  • Experience with structural, fluids, and thermal analysis using Ansys FEA software
  • 5+ years of PTC Creo or Siemens NX CAD programs and Windchill PLM software
  • Component testing and validation experience in both low and high energy states
  • Direct experience with flight qualification and flight support

Colorado law requires us to tell you the base compensation range of this role, which is $121,000 - $152,000, determined by your education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities. What we can't quantify for you are the exciting challenges, supportive team, and amazing culture we enjoy.
