Rocket Systems Engineer

This role handles overall rocket technical design, analysis, and system specification work. Responsibilities include designing the rocket system and integrating and optimizing subsystems through flight-path, motion, load, vibration modal, and safety analyses.

The engineer defines and allocates design requirements for propulsion, structures, control mechanisms, avionics, and communications subsystems. The role also coordinates and manages specifications for each subsystem and their interfaces, evaluates design trade-offs, analyzes technical risks, and prepares technical documents, plans, specifications, and verification materials.

The engineer works with the project office to balance technical objectives, schedules, and costs. The system group is responsible for defining the functions and performance required for launch missions and verifying that the designed and manufactured rocket meets those requirements as a complete system.

The group oversees the relationships among liquid rocket components including engines, tanks, control mechanisms, vehicle structures, avionics, and wireless communications. It coordinates competing requirements and complex design conditions, incorporates customer needs from satellite operators, and supports compliance with relevant regulations. The group works with component designers to determine vehicle specifications and verify overall functions and performance.
