Role Overview
You will own the design and development of fluid system hardware for the vehicle’s propulsion, fluids, and thermal management architectures. This includes valves, regulators, fluid storage systems (tanks and pressure vessels), fluid routing (tubing, fittings, brackets, and manifolds), and integrated fluid subsystems. You will work across the full lifecycle—from concept and analysis through build, test, and flight—to deliver hardware that meets performance, mass, and reliability requirements in demanding launch and space environments.

About the Role
You will own the design and development of fluid system hardware for the vehicle’s propulsion, fluids, and thermal management architectures. This includes valves, regulators, fluid storage systems (tanks and pressure vessels), fluid routing (tubing, fittings, brackets, and manifolds), and integrated fluid subsystems. You will work across the full lifecycle—from concept and analysis through build, test, and flight—to deliver hardware that meets performance, mass, and reliability requirements in demanding launch and space environments.
Responsibilities
- Design valves (flow control, isolation, regulation, check, and relief) for propellant, pressurant, and thermal fluid systems used on propulsion and launch vehicle systems.
- Develop fluid storage hardware including propellant tanks, pressure vessels, and accumulators from concept through qualification.
- Design fluid routing architecture: tubing runs, manifolds, fittings, flex lines, and quick-disconnects for vehicle integration.
- Own fluid subsystem layout and integration, ensuring compatibility across propulsion, thermal, and pneumatic systems.
- Perform hydraulic and pneumatic analysis (pressure drop, flow distribution, water hammer, thermal transients) to size components and verify system performance.
- Perform structural analysis (FEA, hand calcs) and validate with test and flight data.
- Select materials compatible with propellants, pressures, and operating environments (cryogenic, high-pressure, corrosive).
