RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Design, build and integrate fluid and pneumatic systems to support RS1 ground operations that comply with ABL, Test Site and Range requirements. Work with mechanical and electrical engineers to ensure clean cross functional design
• Develop test plans for ground fluid systems, and complete ATP/checkouts testing to verify functionality. Inclusive of planning, documentation, and execution of test campaigns
• Support the development of internal standard manufacturing/integration processes (fabrication, inspection, etc.) that comply with ABL, Test Site and Range requirements and deliver quality ground fluid systems
• Create and present internal and external technical documentation that clearly conveys design intent, adherence to standards, requirements, and specifications
• Manage project’s schedule, compliance with internal and external requirements, budget, milestones, and track status
• Interface with technicians to coordinate builds, logistics, support, and requirements

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or similar field
• Has completed an internship with ABL Space Systems
• Experience utilizing CAD design software (e.g. NX, CATIA, CREO/PRO-E)
• Experience routing fluid and electrical systems
• Hands-on experience using fluid components
• Experience working across engineering groups to define requirements and implement solutions

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• M.S. from an accredited university in engineering or science
• Minimum 2 years of experience working in space, aerospace, or equivalent professional environments with direct hands-on experience developing complex fluid systems
• Ability to review complex fluid P&IDs
• Ability to size fluid components based on flow, pressure, and thermal requirements
• Experience working with high-pressure systems
• Understanding of manufacturing processes and GD&T
• Experience with Teamcenter or other PLM system

WHAT WE LOOK FOR:

• Critical thinking: ABL engineers understand the “why” behind all design decisions, operational events and test outcomes
• Ability to deal with ambiguity: ABL engineers must be comfortable defining their own pathway to an objective
• End-to-end ownership
