Turbo Pump Engineer

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.

Requirements

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.

Benefits
