About The Position
IRPI is a dynamic research and engineering firm at the cutting edge of space exploration technology. While our innovations often result in advanced Environmental Control and Life Support Systems (ECLSS) products, our core work involves broader research and development of pioneering aerospace systems. We tackle complex challenges, from designing specialized components for microgravity environments to developing novel thermal management solutions. Our team collaborates closely with NASA, private space enterprises, and leading aerospace contractors to turn innovative concepts into reality. If you are a creative and hands-on Mechanical or Aerospace Engineer passionate about R&D and solving unique engineering problems for space, we want you on our team! As a Mechanical Engineer focused on Aerospace Research & Development at IRPI, you will be instrumental in the entire lifecycle of innovative aerospace hardware. Your role will be highly varied, involving conceptual design, detailed analysis (thermal, fluid, structural), hands-on prototyping, and rigorous experimental validation. You'll have the opportunity to work on diverse projects, such as designing phase separators for low-gravity applications, performing sophisticated thermal modeling, setting up and conducting unique experiments, analyzing data (including image processing for data extraction), and leveraging advanced manufacturing techniques like 3D printing.
