  • Work closely with development and design engineers, internal machine shops, and external vendors to make parts that are designed for manufacturability.
Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in aerospace, mechanical, welding, or materials engineering.
  • 1+ years of experience working with fluid system components and instruments such as valves, regulators, burst disks, pressure transducers, or resistance temperature devices.
  • Master's degree in aerospace, mechanical, welding, or materials engineering.
  • Experience with spacecraft or aircraft propulsion/environmental control systems.
  • Experience with fluid or gas handling systems.
  • Knowledge of principles of compressible and incompressible flow, thermodynamics, thermochemistry, mechanics, materials, and electrical circuits.
  • Experience with instrumentation and data acquisition, including familiarity with LabVIEW software.
Additional Requirements
  • Must be available to work long hours and weekends as needed.
  • ITAR Requirements: To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
