How You’ll Fulfill Your Mission

• Design flight hardware components, assemblies, and interfaces. Engineering responsibility from initial design to launch performance. 
• Analyze components through hand calculations and FEA to show positive margin on design for flight critical hardware. 
• Validate hardware through rigorous qualification and acceptance tests. 
• Deliver quality results in a fast-paced work environment, while maintaining flexibility with changing priorities. 
• Document the progression of hardware development through design reviews, technical drawings, and work instructions. 
• Collaborate across teams to deliver a seamlessly integrated launch vehicle.
