  • Design fluid systems for test and launch facilities, including rocket engine test-rigs, structure pressurization test-rigs, integrated stage testing rigs, launch pads, etc.
  • Perform sizing calculations and/or numerical simulations for fluid systems, including cryogenic propellants storage, conditioning, and distribution systems, high-pressure gas distribution and pressurization systems, etc.
  • Select and procure suitable fluid hardware, including tanks, pumps, heat-exchangers, valves, pressure regulators, safety-valves, instrumentation, etc.
  • Prepare technical documentation, such as PFDs and P&IDs, hardware lists, datasheets, technical notes etc. that serve as a basis for manufacturing planning and execution
  • Lead and contribute to system design reviews and risk assessments
  • Depending on interest and experience: lead or support factory and site acceptance tests for fluid systems
  • lead or participate in commissioning planning and hands-on site operations
  • support test and launch campaigns on-site or remotely with operations or data analyses.

Requirements:

  • B.Sc. or M.Sc. degree in aerospace, mechanical, process/energy/chemical engineering or an equivalent qualification
  • 0 to 5 years of relevant professional experience
  • In-depth knowledge of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics and their application to real hardware like valves, regulators, etc.
  • Strong analytical skills and able to apply theoretical knowledge to find practical solutions to complex fluid mechanic and/or thermodynamic engineering problems
  • Basic knowledge in the design and/or operation of high-pressure gas and cryogenic liquid systems for rocket testing and launching facilities
  • Adjusting self-sufficiently and quickly to a changing work environment
  • Available for occasional international travel to our test and launch sites
  • Fluent in English

Nice to have:

  • Modeling and simulation of fluid systems by means of software such as EcosimPro, Python/Matlab script, and/or CFD
  • Hands-on experience with fluid systems, e.g., assembly of piping systems, participating in commissioning or testing operations, etc.
What we offer:
  • Employee Participation Program: Share in our success through our virtual company share program
  • 30 days of vacation
