We are seeking a Propulsion Design and Integration Engineer to own the systems architecture, mass properties, packaging, requirements flow down, and coordination across propulsion, structures, aerodynamics, and controls. You will ensure the whole vehicle meets performance targets and integrates all subsystems into a coherent, testable design.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead vehicle level design and integration of propulsion, controls, aerodynamics, structures, and avionics
Develop and maintain architecture models, mass properties, center of gravity/stability margins
Perform trade studies and requirements allocations for performance, weight, and space
Create system level 3D CAD assemblies for integration reviews
Coordinate with Component leads (propulsion, materials, CFD, test) to manage interfaces
Establish systems engineering artifacts (requirements, verification matrix,ICDs)
Support simulation activities with input to GNC and CFD teams
Participate in design reviews, hazard analyses, and test readiness reviews
Requirements
B.S./M.S. in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering
5–12+ years experience in aerospace vehicle design or systems integration
Experience with multi-discipline design of propulsion systems, missile or launch vehicles
Strong systems thinking with demonstrable integration deliverables(ICDs, PODs, integration plans)
Proficiency in CAD (CREO, NX, CATIA) and systems engineering tools
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with integrated air-breathing/rocket systems, hypersonic vehicles, or tactical missiles
Familiarity with model based systems engineering (MBSE)processes
Experience in lead design of complex aerospace vehicles across multiple disciplines
