This role requires a BS in engineering and 2+ years of fluid systems experience, and U.S.

Qualifications

• Minimum of a B.S. degree in engineering.
• 2+ years of professional engineering experience with complex fluid systems.
• Demonstrated experience with spacecraft or launch vehicle fluid system component design or test or manufacturing.
• Demonstrated practical understanding of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.
• Solid understanding of fluid components such as valves, pressure vessels, flex elements and fittings.
• Knowledge of fabrication, integration processes and quality control relative to tubes/piping and machined components.
• Working knowledge of materials and treatments.
• Experience troubleshooting fluids hardware.
• Project management skills, including supplier management, scheduling, and budget tracking.
