About the role
The turbopump is the heart of the engine and sets its performance ceiling, and in this role, you will own pieces of it outright. You are the responsible engineer for the design definition, interfaces, fabrication, build, and test performance of your hardware — ore to orbit. As you trade different designs in the design space, you will own the case that your hardware meets its requirements and define what needs to be proven by analysis, what needs to be proven on the stand, and the plan that closes both.
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 with hardware from design through build and test
- Experience selecting materials and manufacturing processes 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
More about this role
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Current energy and data systems rely on complex logistics and outdated infrastructure.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,...
