Fluid Systems Engineer III – Rplf Rcs – New Glenn

Requirements

• Minimum of a B.S. degree in engineering
• 5+ years of experience with spacecraft or launch vehicle fluid system component design or test
• Experience with aircraft, spacecraft, or launch vehicles in the detail design of aerospace or equivalent type fluid systems and components
• Proficiency in crafting engineering drawings with GD&T (ASME Y14.5)
• Working knowledge of fluid components such as valves, tubing, fittings, pressurized hardware, seals, and bearings
• Proven understanding of material properties and treatments
• Component testing and qualification experience
• Knowledge of fabrication, integration processes and quality control relative to valves, machined components
• Experience with design for reliability, manufacturability, assemble-ability, operability
• Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Responsibilities

• You will design, develop, and qualify individual fluid subsystems (i.e., propellant fill / drain, pressurization, pneumatics, etc.)
• Design and route fluid subsystems (i.e., pressurization, pneumatics, reaction control)
• Complete trade studies to select components and system schema that meet performance, cost, manufacturability, and schedule requirements
• Work with fluid components (i.e., solenoid valves, thrusters, pressure vessels, and instrumentation).
• Work with 3D CAD programs (Creo preferred) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) programs (ANSYS Preferred).
• Deliver completed designs using best draft practicing per ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards along with clear and well documented analysis reports.
• Work closely with other groups to ensure your systems work together, resolving issues with calculated risk.
• Following design efforts, you will lead and participate in component and system level testing and data analysis.

Preferred Qualifications

• Proficiency in 3D CAD programs (Creo Pro/E and Pro/E Piping)
• Experience with cryogenic and oxygen systems
• Hands on experience building and testing complex mechanical assemblies
• Solid understanding of fabrication, integration processes, and quality control techniques relevant to tubes, machined components, and welded hardware
• Experience with Type III or Type IV COPVs
• Experience with nozzles and thrust vectoring
• Knowledge in the use of FEA analysis tools (ANSYS preferred)
