About the Role
We are seeking a Propulsion Aerothermal Analyst skilled in first-order calculations, CFD, and custom analysis code development. This role involves working across design, analysis, development, operation, and reuse scenarios in a dynamic environment. The position is ideal for a detail-oriented individual who wants to influence critical design decisions and shape the propulsion fluid systems for an orbital launch vehicle program.
Responsibilities
- Perform aerothermal design of propulsion components, including injectors, thrust chambers, nozzles, valves, and other fluid system parts.
- Analyze regenerative, film, and radiation cooling schemes and size cooling channels to maintain material temperature limits.
- 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 propellant systems, covering tank thermal management, chill-down, boil-off, thermal conditioning, and insulation performance.
- Develop and validate pressurization system models (autogenous, helium, or self-pressurizing) to determine pressurant requirements and predict ullage behavior.
- Build, run, and maintain steady-state and transient thermal and fluid models using tools such as Thermal Desktop/SINDA, Fluent, CFX, EcosimPro, ESPSS, Flownex, or in-house Python/MATLAB codes.
- Conduct trade studies and sensitivity analyses on system architecture, cooling, geometry, and operating points to guide design decisions.
- Support cold flow, hot fire, stage test, and flight campaigns with pre-test predictions and post-test data reconciliation.
- Identify thermal and fluid risks and failure modes, support anomaly investigations and root-cause analysis, and recommend design or operational mitigations.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in one or more of the following: Aerothermal analysis of aerospace propulsion components, Creating and running 1-D flow networks for component sizing, Performing 3-D CFD analysis on propulsion components, Combustion analysis including liquid injection modelling, Aerothermal analysis of cryogenic propellant systems.
- Demonstrated inclination toward a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment with rapid hardware development using iterative design-build-test cycles.
- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related field.
