Job Description
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.
- 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.
- 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
- Wellness Resources
