Senior Propulsion Engineer, SRM

What You’ll Drive

Own end-to-end solid rocket motor development from formulation and motor build through hot-fire testing and design iteration
Develop and refine propellant formulations, processing methods, grain configurations, and motor designs
Plan and execute hot-fire tests, analyze performance and failure data, and turn results into the next hardware iteration
Identify and resolve technical risks across combustion, materials, manufacturing, and motor performance
Make independent engineering decisions and drive rapid build-test-learn cycles with mechanical, manufacturing, avionics, and test teams

What We’re Looking For

Bachelor's degree or higher in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, or a related technical field
5+ years of relevant experience in solid rocket propulsion, energetic materials, combustion, or closely related hardware development
Demonstrated experience owning end-to-end solid rocket motor development across propellant formulation, motor build, hot-fire testing, data analysis, and design iteration
Strong understanding of solid propellant combustion, internal ballistics, and motor performance
Demonstrated ability to make independent engineering decisions and drive rapid build-test-learn cycles
U.S. citizenship required due to the nature of the national security programs this role may support and the potential need to access classified information
