Universe Basic Programmer Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

As a Propulsion Systems Engineer with ULA this engineering function provides engineering design, systems integration, subcontract management, product technical support and anomaly resolution for propulsion ground fluids systems (pneumatics, cryogenics, hydraulics). This role is focused on ground systems supporting Centaur V throughout all processing phases at the launch site.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develops system and component designs and requirements to satisfy overall propulsion systems requirements.   
• The position requires mechanical design capability as well as understanding dynamic, structural and fluids analysis concepts.  
• Must have the capability to perform system integration and perform system level trade studies to optimize designs for manufacturing, producibility, safety, and performance. 
• Generates engineering drawings as well as assembly and testing requirements. 
• Provides direct support to design team, suppliers, the factory, and the launch site to ensure production schedules are met, resolve anomalies, oversee acceptance testing, and streamline operations to improve efficiency. 
• When anomalies occur, supports causal analysis that leads to effective resolution and corrective actions that prevent recurrence. 
• Reviews the as-built product (hardware and associated software) and product test data to verify that the final product configuration and performance meets requirements and is ready for test and/or flight.  Develops design improvements that reduce cost and risk and/or improve vehicle performance.
• As a condition of employment, you must be able to obtain and thereafter maintain a favorable National Agency Check Inquiry (NAC-I) in accordance with Air Force Instruction 31-501 entitled Personnel Security Program Management, or an equivalent approval, so that you have continuous unescorted access to all ULA work locations (including controlled/restricted areas) to perform your assigned work.
