We're reinventing aircraft from the engine forward. Backed by Y Combinator and a16z.
About the role
Generate CAD models, detailed engineering drawings, and apply appropriate GD&T Architect thermal systems and develop 1-D fluid network models to predict system behavior, transient responses, and sensitivities
What they're looking for
- 5+ years hands-on experience in propulsion or similarly complex thermal environments
- Proficient in CAD modeling (Siemens NX), drawing generation, and GD&T
- Strong understanding of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid behavior
- Experience designing and analyzing thermal systems using CFD and 1D network modeling tools
- Informed on instrumentation types and limitations, and ability to anchor models with test data
- Takes initiative for continuous improvement (not just completing assigned tasks)
More about this role
Astro Mechanica is a vertically integrated aerospace company developing a scalable technology platform to power critical infrastructure, mission operations, and the future of flight. We apply aerospace engineering and quality standards across our products, delivering high performance, reliability, and efficiency for the most demanding operating environments.
