  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (mechanical, thermal, controls, electronics, systems) to ensure subsystem integration
  • Perform calculations and simulations to support sizing, performance prediction, and optimization
  • Support Test Readiness Reviews (TRRs), Failure Review Boards, and design reviews
  • Implement continuous improvements to increase test efficiency, safety, and reliability
  • Analyze test data, generate reports, and identify corrective actions

  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, P&IDs, and technical specifications
  • Strong problem-solving, data analysis, and communication skills
  • Ability to work in multidisciplinary teams and in a fast-paced, evolving environment
  • Experience with cryogenic fluids, high-pressure systems, or oxidizer/fuel systems
  • Experience with CAD, simulation tools (CFD, thermodynamics, structural), or propulsion modeling
  • Familiarity with propulsion test stands, plumbing, valve systems, or turbomachinery
  • Experience in space, launch vehicle, or high-reliability systems
  • Experience in formal test planning, instrumentation, and control software

Benefits
