Reporting To: Kevin Miller, SVP of Engineering
Compensation: $140,000 - $180,000 / year
Description
As a Senior Design Reliability Engineer at Impulse, you will own the standardization and implementation of Impulse's design process. You will lead cross-functional efforts on setting design standards, margining approach, configuration management, and templates.
Responsibilities
  • Define and document design standards and best practices for structures, propulsion, avionics, composites, mechanisms, and more
  • Define and document our margining approach
  • Own the design release workflow processes, from CAD to PLM to MRP and ERP
  • Define the design review process, templates, and milestones
  • Create and manage tools to compile design-informing data and information, traceability of changes, and key decision points
  • Provide design-for-reliability guidance during design reviews and build planning
  • Develop and implement robust design configuration management processes
  • Use build and flight data to influence requirements, assumptions, and decisions
  • Act as a specification custodian for our design, margining, configuration, and release processes
  • Ensure product integrity by holding the line on quality standards, extreme-owning design containments, and driving corrective actions to completion
  • Liaise with build reliability, quality, and flight reliability to solve problems together

Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
  • 5+ years of experience in hardware design and analysis for aerospace, automotive, or high-reliability systems
  • Demonstrated experience supporting design-for-manufacturing of builds, integration, or test of primary structures and/or complex mechanical or electromechanical systems
  • Strong problem-solving skills with demonstrated root cause analysis experience
  • Strong theoretical and working knowledge of GD&T

Preferred Skills and Experience
  • 8+ years of demonstrated design reliability experience with spacecraft, launch vehicles, aviation, robotics, or hardware
  • Familiarity with AS9100, ISO 9001, or similar quality systems (practical application preferred over documentation focus)
  • Demonstrated experience with reliability engineering concepts (FMEA, reliability growth, Weibull analysis)
  • Demonstrated background working closely with cross-functional teams
  • Demonstrated experience supporting rapid development or prototype-to-production transitions

Additional Requirements:
  • Flexible schedule and willing to travel as needed
