Turbo Pump Engineer
Innovative Rocket Technologies Inc., Kensington Village Mobile Home Park, New York, United States
iRocket is pushing the frontier of reusable rocket propulsion. We’re looking for a Turbo Pump Engineer to design, analyze, and test turbomachinery for our reusable engines.
The Role
Design, model, build, and test high-performance turbopumps (inducers/impellers/diffusers) for cryogenic rocket engines.
Perform hydrodynamic, aerodynamic, bearing, and rotor-dynamics analysis for rotating assemblies.
Develop manufacturing plans and build books, manage tolerance stack-ups, and ensure as-built compliance.
Monitor performance trends, analyze cavitation, vibration, thrust-balance, and clearance growth.
Execute root-cause investigations, iterate designs to improve cost, lead-time, and reliability.
Work cross-functionally with manufacturing, test, and propulsion design teams.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering.
3+ years of turbomachinery or rocket-engine component experience, including design/build/test of turbopumps or related systems.
Strong knowledge of fluid/rotordynamics, cryogenics, bearings, and rotating machine behavior.
Proficiency in CAD (Siemens NX, SolidWorks, etc.), CFD/FEA, and test instrumentation.
Experience with machined, additively-manufactured parts, weldments, fasteners, seals, and rotating assemblies.
Strong communication and documentation skills, and ability to lead hardware workflows to delivery.
Benefits
Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)
Short Term & Long Term Disability
