About the role
As a Fluids Engineer, you will own a critical fluid system from concept through flight. Depending on your background and team priorities, your assignment will be on Propulsion fluid design (main propulsion valves, throttling valves, Engine fluid routing and manifolding, etc), Vehicle propulsion feed systems (prevalves, propellant feedlines, etc), Vehicle tank pressure controls (vent valves, repress system, etc), or vehicle pneumatic systems (inert gas valves, regulators, fluid routing, and storage for actuation...
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related field
- 3+ years of experience designing fluid system hardware (valves, regulators, tanks and pressure vessels, tubing, fittings, or manifolds) for flight vehicles or high-performance hardware
- Experience taking hardware from concept through build, integration, and test
- Strong fundamentals in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, structural mechanics, materials, and manufacturing processes
- Experience with fluid system analysis: pressure drop and flow sizing, structural analysis of pressure vessels, or thermal-fluid modeling
- Proficiency with CAD (NX, SolidWorks, CATIA, or Creo) and creating engineering drawings to ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards

Mission
Cowboy Space Corporation is solving the global energy crisis by building the infrastructure for abundant, resilient space-based solar energy. We are tackling one of humanity’s most complex engineering challenges with a world-class team dedicated to delivering a revolutionary power platform. Cowboy Space Corporation is transforming how civilization powers, computes and connects - from orbit to Earth.
Background
Cowboy Space Corporation is building the infrastructure to power and connect the orbital economy. Our modular, scalable satellites collect sunlight in Low Earth Orbit to enable multiple integrated applications: transmitting energy via infrared lasers (space-to-earth and space-to-space), powering on-orbit high-performance computing clusters (GPU/TPU), and providing secure, high bandwidth optical data transport.
Current energy and data systems rely on complex logistics and outdated infrastructure. Cowboy Space Corporation overcomes these challenges by enabling direct, on-demand, secure, and scalable energy distribution and data processing from space. This will revolutionize how we operate in orbit and on Earth, supporting the rapidly expanding space industrial base,...
