This position requires deep technical expertise in combustion science, thermal dynamics, and heat treatment metallurgy.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop combustion chambers, thermal management systems, heat exchangers, fuel/air delivery systems, and related aerospace hardware.
• Perform thermodynamic, fluid-flow, heat-transfer, and combustion analyses to evaluate system and component performance.
• Develop analytical models and conduct computational simulations to predict thermal and fluid behavior.
• Perform CFD and other numerical analyses as appropriate to support design decisions.
• Define and execute component and system-level testing, including development of test plans, instrumentation, procedures, and data-reduction methods.
• Analyze test data and correlate experimental results with analytical and computational models.
• Support design reviews, trade studies, root‑cause investigations, and technical risk assessments.
• Develop engineering requirements, specifications, test procedures, reports, and other technical documentation.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical design, manufacturing, materials, controls, test, quality, and program teams.
• Provide engineering support during prototype fabrication, assembly, testing, qualification, and production.
• Identify opportunities to improve system performance, reliability, manufacturability, cost, and thermal efficiency.
• Troubleshoot hardware and test issues and develop corrective actions.
• Support configuration management, drawing reviews, and engineering change processes.
• Ensure designs comply with applicable aerospace standards, customer requirements, and company engineering processes.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of analysis methods, test capabilities, and engineering processes.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• 3+ years of relevant engineering experiencein combustion, thermal systems, propulsion, energy systems, or a related field.
• Experience with engineering analysis and technical problem-solving.
• Experience developing, conducting, or supporting engineering tests.
• Proficiency with engineering software and data-analysis tools.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and technical documentation.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary engineering and manufacturing environment.
