About the role

  • Turbomachinery Fluidic Design Engineer contributing to design and optimization of propulsion systems. Working in multidisciplinary teams to deliver turbomachinery meeting stringent mission requirements.

Responsibilities

  • Contribute to the design, analysis, and optimization of rocket turbopumps, turbines, and secondary flow systems.
  • Own the fluidic development and validation of components.
  • Perform CFD analyses for pumps and turbines.
  • Develop and maintain numerical methods, in-house tools, and preliminary design codes.
  • Investigate off-design performance, dynamic stability, and fluid-structure/cycle coupling.
  • Correlate simulation and test data to validate models and improve predictive capability.
  • Produce technical documentation and participate in design reviews.
  • Collaborate with mechanical and test engineering to ensure integrated system performance and manufacturability.
  • Support the definition, instrumentation strategy, and execution of component and turbopump test campaigns.

Requirements

  • Strong understanding of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and turbomachinery principles.
  • Experience with CFD tools (e.g., ANSYS Fluent/CFX, Cadence Fine/Turbo, OpenFOAM).
  • Familiarity with numerical modeling, scripting, and data processing (Python, MATLAB, or similar).
  • Ability to interpret and correlate experimental turbomachinery data.
  • Fluency in English (written and spoken).
  • Solid communication skills and effectiveness in multidisciplinary engineering environments.
  • MSc or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field.
  • Completion of a specialized turbopump course (highly valued).
  • Hands-on experience in turbomachinery design, CFD, test analysis, or performance evaluation.
  • Experience in rocket turbomachinery, high-speed turbopumps, turbine aerodynamics, or adjacent industries (aerospace, energy, cryogenics).

Benefits

  • Flexible working hours
  • Professional development opportunities
