Original job description

About the role

We are looking for a Propulsion Aerothermal Analyst who is equally proficient in performing first order calculations as they are in running CFD or developing their own analysis code. You will work across design, analysis, development, operation, and reuse scenarios in a fast-moving development environment. This is a highly technical role for someone who wants to be close to details, make consequential design decisions, and help establish the propulsion fluids systems of an orbital launch vehicle program from the ground up.

What you'll do

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 keep wall temperatures within material 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, including tank thermal management, chill-down, boil-off, thermal conditioning, and insulation performance

Develop and validate pressurization system models (autogenous, helium, or self-pressurizing) to size pressurant requirements and predict ullage behaviour

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 drive 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

Qualifications

Required

5+ years of experience with 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

Inclination toward a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment with rapid hardware development using iterative design-build-test cycles that are central to the engineering culture

Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related field

Preferred

Conjugate heat transfer analysis using Fluent or similar CFD tools on rocket engine components

Aerothermal design of liquid bipropellant rocket engines

Experience with methane systems, including methane delivery systems

Exposure to complex fluid systems as well as understanding the behaviour of the mechanisms in those systems

Turbomachinery fluid analysis proficiency

Structural analysis proficiency

Functional proficiency in CAD (NX) and Python

Advanced degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related field

Responsibilities

The Propulsion Aerothermal Analyst will design and analyze propulsion components, including injectors, nozzles, and cooling systems for an orbital launch vehicle. They will also develop thermal-fluid models, conduct trade studies, and support testing campaigns to ensure system performance and reliability.

Requirements

Candidates must have at least 5 years of experience in aerothermal analysis of aerospace propulsion components and proficiency in 1-D flow networks or 3-D CFD. A bachelor's degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering is required, with preference given to those with advanced degrees and experience in liquid bipropellant rocket engines.
