We deliver the half of the rocket that stays on the ground. As a Senior Ground Fluid Systems Engineer at Isar Aerospace, you deliver the ground fluid infrastructure required for safe, reliable, and rapid test and launch of the Spectrum rocket. This includes test-rigs for development, qualification, and acceptance of launch vehicle and propulsion systems as well as entire launch bases. You work hand-in-hand with Propulsion and Launch Vehicle development teams to translate their requirements into functional designs and concepts of operations. You tackle complex engineering challenges across multiple projects and phases – from concept to detail design, execution, commissioning, and handover to site owner and operator.
Job Responsibility:
Design fluid systems for test and launch facilities, including rocket engine test-rigs, structure pressurization test-rigs, integrated stage testing rigs, launch pads, etc.
Perform sizing calculations and/or numerical simulations for fluid systems, including cryogenic propellants storage, conditioning, and distribution systems, high-pressure gas distribution and pressurization systems, etc.
Select and procure suitable fluid hardware, including tanks, pumps, heat-exchangers, valves, pressure regulators, safety-valves, instrumentation, etc.
Prepare technical documentation, such as PFDs and P&IDs, hardware lists, datasheets, technical notes etc. that serve as a basis for manufacturing planning and execution
Lead and contribute to system design reviews and risk assessments
Act as a technical point of contact and subject matter expert for the project and operation teams, consulting on fluid system questions and decisions
Mentor junior and mid-level engineers and contribute to structuring and expanding knowledge in the team with guidelines, checklists, processes, presentations, etc.
Requirements:
B.Sc. or M.Sc. degree in aerospace, mechanical, process/energy/chemical engineering or an equivalent qualification
At least 5 years of relevant professional experience in aerospace, oil & gas, energy, chemical industry, engineering service provider or similar
In-depth experience in the design and/or operation of high-pressure gas and cryogenic liquid systems, ideally, in the context of rocket testing and launching facilities
Experience with design and safety analyses and reviews, including HAZOPs
Expert knowledge of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics and their application to real hardware like valves, regulators, etc.
Strong analytical skills and able to apply theoretical knowledge to find practical solutions to complex fluid mechanic and/or thermodynamic engineering problems
In-depth knowledge of industry standards and technical regulations which are common in plant engineering (e.g. ASME, ISO, DIN EN, PED, AD2000, ATEX)
Nice to have:
Modeling and simulation of fluid systems by means of software such as EcosimPro, Python/Matlab script, and/or CFD
Hands-on experience with fluid systems, e.g., assembly of piping systems, participating in commissioning or testing operations, etc.
