Lead Propellant Analyst, Solid Rocket Motors

Castelion Corporation; Torrance (CA); In loco; USD 150.000 - 210.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Castelion seeks a Senior Propellant Analyst to support the design, development, and qualification of solid rocket motors for next-generation hypersonic defense systems. You will analyze propellant grains, influence grain geometry and formulation, and work closely with manufacturing and test teams to drive flight-ready hardware.

In this fast-moving startup environment, you’ll own critical analyses, translate results for engineering partners, and help ensure mission success while navigating DoD

Competenze

• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in propellant grain analysis, solid rocket motor design, or related propulsion disciplines.
• Strong understanding of propellant grain structural mechanics.
• Experience with finite element analysis tools (Abaqus, NASTRAN, ANSYS) for propellant grain stress analysis.
• Comfortable working in ambiguous, rapidly evolving technical environments.

Mansioni

• Conduct structural and stress analysis of propellant grains under mechanical, thermal, and pressure loading.
• Use analytical methods, finite element analysis, and propulsion software to evaluate grain geometry and stresses.
• Collaborate with motor design engineers and manufacturing to influence grain geometry and propellant formulation.
• Support propellant grain qualification activities, including aging studies and flight readiness assessments.
• Exemplify technical excellence and accountability for work.
• Communicate technical content to partner teams efficiently.
