Senior Propulsion Design & Integration Engineer

We are seeking a Propulsion Design and Integration Engineer to own the systems architecture, mass properties, packaging, requirements flow down, and coordination across propulsion, structures, aerodynamics, and controls. You will ensure the whole vehicle meets performance targets and integrates all subsystems into a coherent, testable design.

Key Responsibilities:​

• Lead vehicle level design and integration of propulsion, controls, aerodynamics, structures, and avionics​
• Develop and maintain architecture models, mass properties, center of gravity/stability margins​
• Perform trade studies and requirements allocations for performance, weight, and space​
• Create system level 3D CAD assemblies for integration reviews​
• Coordinate with Component leads (propulsion, materials, CFD, test) to manage interfaces​
• Establish systems engineering artifacts (requirements, verification matrix,ICDs)
• Support simulation activities with input to GNC and CFD teams​
• Participate in design reviews, hazard analyses, and test readiness reviews​

Requirements

​

• B.S./M.S. in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering​
