Design fluid component hardware to meet cost, performance and schedule constraints
Design and route complex fluid subsystems (i.e., pressurization, pneumatics, propellant utilization)
Create and own the development, acceptance and qualification test activities for your hardware
Work with fluid components (i.e., solenoid valves, pneumatic valves, regulators, pressure vessels and instrumentation)
Work closely with other groups to ensure your systems work together, resolving issues at an accelerated pace while managing risk
Good project management skills are vital, including supplier management, scheduling, and production interfacing
Work with 3D CAD programs (Creo preferred) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) programs (ANSYS Preferred)
Deliver completed designs using best draft practicing per ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards along with clear and well documented analysis reports

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or equivalent
Engineering experience with complex fluid systems
Demonstrated experience with spacecraft or launch vehicle fluid system component design
Experience with aircraft, spacecraft, or launch vehicles in the detail design of aerospace or equivalent type fluid systems and components
Solid understanding of fluid components such as valves, tubing, pressurized hardware, flex elements, seals, and fittings
Proficiency in crafting engineering drawings with GD&T (ASME Y14.5)
Knowledge of fabrication, integration processes and quality control relative to tubes/piping, machined components, and welded hardware
Working knowledge of material properties and treatments
Experience diagnosing and fixing fluids hardware
