Description
The role involves designing and developing next-generation turbopumps for rocket engines. The engineer will lead the design process from initial concept through to flight qualification. Responsibilities include performing hydrodynamic sizing, flowpath design, and detailed mechanical analysis for turbopump components. The position requires close collaboration with production teams to ensure designs are successfully translated into flight hardware. Additionally, the engineer will support component testing, resolve development issues, and implement design improvements to optimize performance and manufacturing efficiency.
Required Qualifications and Skills
Candidates must hold a Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline and possess at least one year of experience in turbomachinery design. Preferred qualifications include a Master's degree or higher in aerospace, aeronautics, or mechanical engineering. Applicants should demonstrate a strong understanding of pump hydrodynamic and aerodynamic design, as well as fundamental mechanical principles. Proficiency in CAD software and simulation tools like Ansys is considered beneficial.

About the company
SpaceX
Description
SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches the worlds most advanced rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk to revolutionize space transportation, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary. SpaceX has gained worldwide attention for a series of historic milestones. It is the only private company ever to return a spacecraft from low-Earth orbit, which it first accomplished in December 2010. The company made history again in May 2012 when its Dragon spacecraft attached to the International Space Station, exchanged cargo payloads, and returned safely to Earth a technically challenging feat previously accomplished only by governments. Since then Dragon has delivered cargo to and from the space station multiple times, providing regular cargo resupply missions for NASA. For more information, visit www.spacex.com.
