Launch Fluids Engineer: Cryogenic & High-Pressure Systems

SpaceX; Florida; Vor Ort; USD 120.000 - 180.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

SpaceX is seeking a Fluids Engineer for Launch Hardware Engineering in Florida. You will design, build, and activate cryogenic and high‑pressure fluid systems supporting Starship and Superheavy Booster operations, and coordinate cross‑discipline engineering efforts.

Responsibilities include piping design/analysis, component selection, on‑site fabrication oversight, and real‑time performance troubleshooting, with opportunities to lead field teams and develop innovative fluid solutions.

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline.
• 1+ years of experience with fluid systems or process engineering.
• Master’s degree in mechanical, aerospace or chemical engineering.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience with cryogenic fluid systems in a professional setting or outside the classroom project team.

Aufgaben

• Design, build, and activate cryogenic, high pressure, oxygen‑clean, hydraulic, or other fluid systems to support the launch and processing of Starship and Superheavy Booster.
• Utilize knowledge of thermodynamics, fluid flow, and control theory to design and analyze launch and production fluids systems.
• Model piping assemblies using CAD software and perform piping stress analysis.
• Read and develop detailed piping and instrumentation diagrams of complex fluids systems.
• Select components, such as valves, pumps, piping, tanks, and filters, and provide detailed specifications for their purchase.
• Coordinate with engineers from other disciplines to establish a complete system design.
• Manage the fabrication and installation of fluid systems and other construction projects at launch/test sites, hands‑on in the field.
• Perform planning, analysis, and troubleshooting of system performance during real‑time activation operations and post‑test data reviews.
