Role OverviewThe Launch Site Development team is hiring for high-impact, dynamic engineering positions for those who thrive on solving real problems in diverse environments. Design, commission, and operate mission-critical fluid systems across a growing portfolio of launch sites, from historical US-based pads to greenfield builds in extreme locations including Wallops Flight Facility and Esrange, Sweden.
What You Will Do
Design, build, and activate new fluid systems across a global launch portfolio including Vandenberg Space Force Base (CA), Wallops Flight Facility (VA), Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (FL), and Esrange Space Center (Sweden). Lead design reviews and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to drive fluid system upgrades, streamline operations, and establish standardized processes across all launch sites.
Why It Might Be a Fit
This role requires a strong background in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related field, with experience designing, building, and operating complex fluid systems. The ideal candidate will be able to prioritize and execute tasks in a high-pressure fast-paced environment, and have a willingness to support off-hour shifts during launch operations.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering or related engineering discipline
- 5+ years of hands-on experience with mechanical systems, structural systems, propulsion systems, fluid systems, flight hardware or test operations
- Experience designing, building, troubleshooting and/or operating complex fluid systems
- Demonstrated experience with interpretation and design of P&IDs
- Experience with hazard and risk analysis tools (i.e., FMEA, FMECA, FHA, HAZOP, etc.)
- Able to prioritize and execute tasks in a high pressure fast-paced environment
- Ability to self-motivate and take the initiative to ensure your systems are functional and operating at peak performance
- Ability to adapt to shifting project and/or scope change requirements
- Ability to convey complex technical information clearly and concisely to technical and non-technical audiences
- Comfortable working in launch site environments with field testing, lifting equipment, and hazardous materials
- Willingness to support off-hour shifts during launch operations (nights/weekends as needed)
- Demonstrated project management experience, including vendor management, ability to communicate with senior leaders, development of budgets and schedules, etc.
- Basic working knowledge of standards and regulations (ASME, NFPA, NEC, AFSPCMAN 91-710, NASA-STD-5005, GSFC-STD-8009, etc.)
Benefits
- Generous health, dental and vision plans with low plan deductibles
- Parental leave
- Educational reimbursement
- Short term disability
- Flexible PTO options
