Design Engineer (Sounding Rocket Program)

Responsibilities

Participate in configuration control and design reviews (PDR, CDR).
Coordinate closely with computational simulation engineers to validate structural integrity.
Support ground testing, structural testing, and design iteration.
Support material selection and manufacturing process definition.
Develop detailed 3D CAD models and engineering drawings.
Perform tolerance stack- up and fit- check analyses.
Design primary and secondary rocket structures (airframe, interstages, motor casing interfaces, payload section, fins).
Contribute to mass optimization and structural efficiency efforts.

Requirements

Knowledge of aerospace materials (aluminum alloys, composites, high- strength steels).
Familiarity with systems engineering processes.
Familiarity with manufacturing processes (CNC machining, composite layup, welding, bonding).
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline.
Understanding of structural load paths, vibration environments, and high- acceleration systems.
Proficiency in CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, Siemens NX, or equivalent).
Experience working in cross- functional engineering teams.
Exposure to structural testing and hardware qualification.
Strong problem- solving skills and attention to detail.
Experience in launch vehicles, sounding rockets, missile systems, or UAV structures.
Minimum 3–5 years of mechanical design experience (aerospace or high- performance mechanical systems preferred).
