As Turbomachinery Fluidic Engineer, you will work directly with our turbomachinery department and play an important role in developing turbomachinery for propulsion systems. This role brings with it the opportunity to work with a broad range of rocket turbomachinery systems that serve the launch industry at large, each of which presents unique engineering challenges.
This role primarily involves being the responsible engineer for the fluid dynamics development of centrifugal cryogenic pumps, in addition to overseeing the development of similar cryogenic pumps.
As experienced engineer, it is required that you organize and execute plans to achieve technical and system requirements, that you are able to draw conclusions from pump test data to validate fluid dynamics design methods, and finally that you introduce methodologies for analytical tool implementation aiming at improving the fluid dynamic design and predictive capabilities of pump performances.
This role requires strong working knowledge of fluid dynamics and turbomachinery principles. As part of the turbomachinery fluid dynamics team, you will constantly interact with the turbine aerodynamics development and work closely with mechanical and testing team to develop high-pressure cryogenic pump elements.
Initially, you will be directly responsible for the development of the liquid oxygen and liquid methane pumps of the ARCOS engine, Pangea Aerospace’s flagship aerospike system.
