  • 6+ years of experience in turbomachinery thermal and fluid analysis using ANSYS.
  • Strong foundation in heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamic principles.
  • Exceptional analytical skills and attention to detail.
  • Ability to foster trust and maintain professional relationships while promoting an inclusive culture.
  • Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to collaborate effectively with external stakeholders.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident, or legally admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
  • Willingness to work on-site with occasional travel.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • M.S. in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Experience with cryogenic systems and electric motor-driven pumps.
  • Familiarity with all phases of the turbomachinery lifecycle in flight vehicle applications.
  • Experience in engineering analysis related to Non-Conformance (NC) issues concerning turbomachinery components.

Benefits:

We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability, a 401(k) plan with company matching, and an Education Support Program.

Paid Time Off includes up to four weeks per year, based on scheduled hours, plus up to 14 company-paid holidays.
