About the Role
Canada Rocket Company is building a sovereign launch capability for Canada. This role is for a fluids analyst proficient in first-order calculations, CFD, and custom code development. You will contribute to design, analysis, development, operation, and reuse in a fast-paced environment, shaping the propulsion and stage fluids systems of an orbital launch vehicle program.
Responsibilities
- Analyze fluid transients, water hammer, priming, two-phase flow, cavitation, flow-induced loads, and feed system coupling across engine and stage fluid systems.
- Perform thermal-fluid analysis of cryogenic propellants including chilldown, boiloff, and thermal conditioning.
- Run trade studies on system architecture and operating points to inform design decisions.
- Develop and validate pressurization system models to size pressurant requirements and predict ullage behaviour.
- Build, run, and maintain system-level models in tools such as EcosimPro, ESPSS, Flownex, Fluent, CFX, or in-house Python/MATLAB codes.
- Support cold flow, hot fire, stage test, and flight campaigns with pre-test predictions and post-test data reconciliation.
- Support anomaly investigations and root-cause analysis for fluid-related issues.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience with fluid analysis.
- 7+ years of experience with cryogenic fluids.
- Inclination toward a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment with rapid hardware development using iterative design-build-test cycles.
