Propulsion Engineer

Strativ Group; Zürich; Vor Ort; CHF 130.000 - 180.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Strativ Group client is building the next generation heavy Kickstage for in-space logistics, with an In-Orbit Demonstration mission. They seek a Propulsion Fluidics Engineer to own the full fluidic architecture of the spacecraft and drive from concept to flight at a well-funded Swiss space startup.

The role focuses on hot gas main engine feed design, cold gas RCS systems, and rigorous verification/validation methods, with hands-on testing and launch campaign support on-site in Switzerland.

Qualifikationen

• Degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering (required).
• 2+ years experience with propellant feed systems, valves and regulators (space/aero/auto).
• Strong background in fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and heat transfer.
• Experience with CAD and fluidics modeling (NX, Python, MATLAB).
• Hands-on experience building and testing prototypes.

Aufgaben

• Size and design the hot gas Main Engine Feed System from concept to flight.
• Size and design the Cold Gas RCS Thruster and Feed System.
• Define propulsion verification and validation methods.
• Design fluidic GSE for testing, validation and launch pad fueling.
• Support AIT campaigns: troubleshooting, functional tests, environmental test support.

Jobbeschreibung

Our client is building the next generation heavy Kickstage, redefining in-space logistics with autonomous spacecraft. Their first mission is an In-Orbit Demonstration: a small satellite class spacecraft performing orbital maneuvers and deploying a payload into a precise target orbit.

They're looking for a Propulsion Fluidics Engineer to own the full spacecraft fluidic architecture. This is a chance to take an entire spacecraft from concept to flight at a pioneering, well funded Swiss space startup.

What you'll do:

• Size and design the hot gas Main Engine Feed System, concept to flight
• Size and design the Cold Gas RCS Thruster and Feed System
• Define propulsion verification and validation methods
• Design fluidic GSE for testing, validation and launch pad fueling
• Get hands on in AIT campaigns: troubleshooting, functional tests, environmental test support

What they're looking for:

• Degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering
• 2+ years with propellant feed systems, valves and regulators (space, aero or automotive)
• Strong fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and heat transfer background
• CAD and fluidics modeling (NX, Python, MATLAB or similar)
• Hands on experience building and testing prototypes
• Full time, on site in Switzerland
