About the Role
iRocket is seeking a senior Solid Rocket Motor Engineer to lead the design, building, and testing of solid rocket motors. This role requires an engineer capable of managing an SRM from initial concepts through production, with a blend of analytical, design, manufacturing, and hands-on technical skills.
Responsibilities
- Lead solid rocket motor IR&D portfolio, including sizing, design, analysis, development, build, and test activities from concept through production maturation.
- Design and integrate motor cases, propellant grains, insulation/liners, igniters, nozzles, closures, interfaces, and related SRM components.
- Perform or direct internal ballistics, performance, structural, thermal, mass-properties, margin, and design-trade analyses.
- Generate and review engineering drawings, specifications, bills of material, build documentation, and configuration-controlled technical data.
- Collaborate with manufacturing personnel and suppliers to resolve producibility issues, select materials and processes, and build flight-representative hardware.
- Plan and support motor assembly, instrumentation, static-fire testing, data reduction, post-test inspection, anomaly resolution, and design iteration.
- Drive design-for-manufacture and design-for-scale decisions to improve repeatability, affordability, throughput, and production readiness.
- Provide technical leadership across multidisciplinary teams and mentor engineers and technicians.
Requirements
- Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, propulsion, or a closely related engineering discipline.
- Minimum of 5 years of directly relevant SRM design/development experience; 10+ years strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated experience designing and building solid rocket motors, with meaningful involvement in motor assembly and static-fire or flight-test activities.
- Strong working knowledge of SRM internal ballistics, grain geometry, case/nozzle/insulation design, materials, manufacturing methods, and propulsion-system integration.
- Ability to independently drive a motor development effort while making sound technical decisions in a fast-paced hardware environment.
