  • Support system-level performance assessments, including power budgets, thermal analysis, structural loads, and dynamic response.
  • Support drawing reviews, test plan reviews, and assembly and integration plans relevant to LM design integration activities.
  • Conduct trade studies to optimize propulsion and avionics integration for system performance and reliability.
  • Define and verify electrical, mechanical, and thermal interfaces between propulsion components and vehicle avionics.
  • Provide technical oversight on propulsion system integration, ensuring alignment with system requirements and mission constraints.
  • Support hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) testing, qualification, and system-level validation efforts.
  • Participate in technical interchange meetings (TIMs) with Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, NASA, and other stakeholders.
  • Contribute to system-level design reviews (Checkpoint Reviews, Subsystem Reviews, PDR, CDR, etc) by providing propulsion integration expertise.
  • Identify risks and mitigation strategies related to propulsion and avionics integration, ensuring a robust and mission-ready system.

Required Skills, Education, And Experience

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 8 years of experience in propulsion system integration, solid rocket motor systems, or spacecraft propulsion.
  • Strong understanding of solid rocket motor (SRM) integration, reaction control systems (RCS), and spin stabilization techniques.
  • Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment with multiple stakeholders.
