Manufacturing Engineer I, Turbomachinery
About The Position
The Manufacturing Engineer I will produce components and assemblies for fuel and oxidizer turbopumps used in the Aeon-R and Aeon-R Vac engines. The role owns manufacturing trades and develops processes for fabricating, testing, and delivering critical Aeon-R hardware and subassemblies. It serves as the primary point of contact between manufacturing and design teams as the Aeon-R architecture is optimized and manufacturing operations scale. The position calls for someone comfortable working through ambiguity and independently driving projects to completion, including challenging issues involving rocket turbopumps and additively manufactured hardware. The engineer works at the interfaces of design, development, and analysis of turbomachinery, collaborating with multidisciplinary groups. The Engine Manufacturing team is focused on producing flight engines at rate for Terran R after developing and refining processes for initial development engines.
Requirements
- Degree in engineering or a related technical field.
- Experience with turbopump assembly procedures, including rotor balancing, interference fits, clearance checks, structural proofing, and leak checks.
- Manufacturing process experience in fluids testing, machining, and additive manufacturing.
- Knowledge of general assembly and test procedures, including tolerance stack-up analysis, structural proof testing, and pressurized leak checks.
- Experience with Siemens NX or other CAD and analysis tools.
- Experience with tooling design, including conceptualization, modeling and drafting, and detailed analysis.
Nice To Haves
