Summer 2026 | Launch Systems Development
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Executing all necessary phases of projects while prioritizing the safety and efficiency of space platforms such as satellites, orbit transfer vehicles, and launch systems, based on specified engineering requirements.
- Having knowledge of reusable launch systems and propulsion systems based on sustainable aviation fuels.
- Analyzing components in high-vibration and high-pressure environments.
- Designing subsystems and equipment deemed necessary for conducting system-level tests.
- Conducting studies on the material behaviors of various materials at cryogenic and high temperatures in the development of launch vehicle systems.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, or Chemical Engineering from a university.
- Experience with the use of any 3D CAD software (preferably CATIA V5/V6, etc.).
- Ability to use computational engineering support applications at a basic level (preferably Ansys, MATLAB, Python, COMSOL, ABAQUS, LabVIEW, PTC Creo).
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
- Knowledge of hazardous systems (high pressure, high energy, hazardous liquids/gases, cryogenic, hypergolic, pyrophoric fuels) and measures to prevent potential dangers.
- Familiarity with manufacturing methods and processing techniques, additive manufacturing, forging, casting, shaping, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, coating, non-destructive testing, heat treatment, leak testing, thermal control paints, and laser/plasma cutting and bending.
- Acquaintance with instrumentation and control components (pressure transducers, thermocouples, RTDs, strain gauges, accelerometers, flowmeters, load cells, relays, solenoids, pneumatic valves).
- Experience in combustion chamber design, analysis, manufacturing, testing, and engine ignition.
- Experience in the design and production of propellant gases and gas systems.
