## About the role

The turbopump is the heart of the engine and sets its performance ceiling. In this role you are the responsible engineer for a set of turbopump components: their design definition, their interfaces, how they get built, and how they perform on the stand. You will trade designs, and you will own the argument that your hardware meets its requirements, including which of those requirements get closed by analysis and which have to be proven in a test cell. Your parts go from ore to orbit with your name on them.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or related engineering field
- Proficiency in 3D CAD and in producing released, manufacturable design definitions with sound geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and tolerance stack-ups
- Working knowledge of turbomachinery fundamentals
- Hands-on experience taking a design through build and test
- Familiarity with material and manufacturing process selection for high-stress, high-cycle applications
- Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum
