Develop and implement manufacturing processes for fluids systems hardware, build and validate bending and welding work cells, create assembly work orders and mBOMs, design tooling, author work instructions and test procedures, optimize production systems, and support manufacturing scale-up while ensuring quality, safety, and reliability.

The role involves designing and testing mechanisms for rockets, collaborating across teams, and managing the entire design cycle from conception to testing.

Support development and scaling of paint and thermal protection system (TPS) manufacturing for Terran R. Own material application from release to installation, create build flows, mBOMs, and work orders, support first builds, resolve shop-floor issues, monitor part movements for safety, and coordinate with engineering, supply chain, and external partners to meet production objectives.

Own the design, manufacturing, testing, qualification, and flight readiness of assigned combustion hardware. Coordinate across disciplines to ensure thermally and structurally robust components, apply thermodynamics, thermal, structural, and fluid principles, and support production and qualification for rocket engines.

Responsible Engineer for combustion hardware with end-to-end ownership from design through manufacturing, testing, qualification, and flight. Coordinate across disciplines to ensure thermally and structurally robust components, apply thermodynamics, thermal, structural, and fluid engineering fundamentals, and drive manufacturability and qualification for rocket engine combustion devices.

Provide strategic legal counsel for buy-side commercial transactions and disputes, lead negotiation of technology, manufacturing, parts, commodities, and capex agreements. Develop scalable contracting standards, manage post-execution risks and disputes, and partner cross-functionally to align commercial, financial, and legal objectives.

Lead vehicle-level fluid system architecture for propellant, pressurant, and pneumatic subsystems. Drive cross-functional integration, perform thermofluids sizing and analysis, define test and qualification plans, and support CONOPS and operational validation to ensure flight-ready fluid systems.

Lead a small team to design and package propulsion integration hardware and overall engine layout. Manage projects, mentor engineers, perform fluid and structural analyses, use CAD and FEA tools, and collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to produce manufacturable, lightweight engine designs leveraging 3D printing and traditional manufacturing.

Manage a fluids analysis team for aerospace vehicle development, performing thermal-fluid calculations and overseeing analysis for complex systems while mentoring engineers.

As a Senior RF Engineer, you will design, develop, and test RF systems for deep-space communication, focusing on architecture and integration with spacecraft. You'll work hands-on from concept to readiness, tackling engineering challenges alongside cross-functional teams.
