Responsibilities

• Take ownership of end-to-end turbopump design
• Develop preliminary 1D codes to size impellers and turbines
• Identify and trade strategies to meet design requirements and select the right approach
• Work with subject matter experts to support advanced design and analysis challenges
• Execute design work, considering manufacturing and operational constraints
• Develop, test, and qualify the product
• Develop production methodology and support initial builds
• Design and build test hardware and production tooling

Basic Qualifications

• B.S. in any engineering discipline from an accredited university
• ‍2+ years of industry experience in a turbomachinery engineering role

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Demonstrated ability utilizing CAD design software (e.g. NX, CATIA, CREO/PRO-E)
• Demonstrated analysis capability using hand-calcs as well as finite element analysis (e.g. ANSYS, ABAQUS, NASTRAN) and computational fluid analysis (e.g. Fluent, Fine/TURBO, StarCCM+)
• Strong understanding of compressible/incompressible flow and thermodynamics, especially as they apply to centrifugal impellers and axial turbines
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes and GD&T
• Aerospace hardware design and development
• Writing and executing test procedures for complex hardware operations

What We Look For

• 1. Critical thinking: ABL engineers understand the "why" behind all design decisions, operational events and test outcomes.  
• 2. Ability to deal with ambiguity: there is no roadmap and ABL engineers must be comfortable defining their own pathway to an objective. 
• 3. End-to-end ownership: projects are delivered fully complete and ready for flight; there is no one to pick up the slack of partially complete work.
