Propulsion Analyst (Fluids)

Impulse SpaceRedondo Beach, CA
Onsite

About The Position

As a Propulsion Analyst at Impulse, your core responsibility will be to analyze a variety of spacecraft propulsion fluids systems and components.

Requirements

  • 1+ year of demonstrated experience with fluids network modeling analysis with commercial software (e.g. SINDA/FLUINT, GFSSP)
  • Demonstrated analytical capability — coursework, research, internships, or professional experience involving modeling, data analysis, or simulation
  • Strong fundamentals in compressible & incompressible fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and heat-transfer, including hand calculation methods
  • Proficiency in scripting languages for analysis and data processing (Python or other)
  • Ability to communicate complex results clearly to technical and cross-functional stakeholders

Nice To Haves

  • 3+ years of demonstrated experience performing data analysis, model development, or numerical simulation for liquid rocket systems

  • Familiarity with Thermal Desktop and/or ANSYS Workbench
  • Familiarity with ANSYS CFX, ANSYS Fluent, and/or Star-CCM+
  • Advanced proficiency with a commercial CFD tool through all stages of the workflow (geometry prep, mesh generation, setup, convergence, post-processing)
  • Familiarity with Python libraries (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Plotly, Jupyter)
  • Proficiency building automated data analysis workflows or reporting tools

Responsibilities

  • Perform analysis of propulsion related subsystems for liquid rockets – including but not limited to propellant, pressurization, and feed systems
  • Develop, validate, and maintain analytical models for performance prediction, trend identification, and requirements verification
  • Design tests and process data to validate models and set system requirements
  • Create workflows to automate data processing and review
  • Interface with propulsion designers, test engineers, GNC, structures, and integration to translate engineering questions into analytical tasks

Benefits

  • Stock options
  • Medical coverage
  • Vision coverage
  • Dental coverage
  • 401(k) retirement plan
