  • Perform mechanical, fluid, and/or electrical analysis of components and subsystems focused on fluid flow systems and chemical processes as related to valves
  • Work effectively with a cross-disciplinary team of engineers and technicians to fabricate and test prototypes and produce results within defined schedule and budget constraints
  • Conduct multiple analysis, design, and test activities simultaneously
  • Work with suppliers to specify components as needed
  • Engage in both early-stage, long-term development and near-term, flight program hardware design
  • Evaluate prototypes into flight-qualifiable hardware
  • Transfer knowledge and expertise to the next generation of valve designers, as well as mentor them
Requirements:
  • Minimum of a B.S. degree in mechanical, aerospace engineering, or related engineering field
  • 5+ years experience in designing and specifying valves
  • Demonstrated understanding of fundamental mechanical, electrical, thermodynamic, and fluid systems
  • The ability to use advanced engineering skills to design, develop, and evaluate the ECLS valves
  • Familiarity and experience with hands-on prototyping and design, experiment design, test methods, and general laboratory skills
  • Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion
  • Familiarity with manufacturing processes
  • Proficiency in Creo or similar CAD design tools
Preferred Qualifications:
  • 10+ years experience in designing and specifying valves
  • Experience with aircraft or spacecraft life support/environmental control (ECLS) technologies and architectures
  • Experience designing electronic systems combining hardware, firmware, and software
  • Exposure to designing safety or mission critical aerospace flight hardware compliant with DO-254
  • Exposure to development of high-reliability, radiation-tolerant, radiation-hardened flight hardware intended for prolonged exposure to extreme space environments
  • Experience with component design such as valves, actuators, mechanisms
  • Working knowledge of fabrication, integration processes, and quality control techniques relative to tubes, machined components, and welded hardware
  • Working knowledge of aerospace materials and treatments
  • Experience with preparing and executing test planning, test readiness reviews, and test conducting
  • Experience with test facility instrumentation and Data Acquisition and Control Systems
  • Ability to transition between analysis and design to build and test activities
  • Excellent verbal, written, and graphical communication skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic work environment
  • Strong project management and team leadership skills
Benefits:
  • Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability, 401(k) with a company match of up to 5%, and an Education Support Program
