Propulsion Data & Modeling Engineer

The role

You will develop analysis, post processing, and prediction tools to support testing and design for Nyx Earth Propulsion System Development Models. You will bridge the gap between design and hardware testing by working with design and testing teams to ensure integration and validation of propulsion subsystems.

What you will do

• Develop analysis, post processing, and prediction tools to support testing and design activities.
• Define test setup configurations with pressure and feed system engineers.
• Conduct fluid modelling and analyses to verify test rig repeatability.
• Support the creation of test plans for propulsion subsystems.
• Design and develop propulsion analysis and post processing tools.
• Collaborate with pressure and feed system engineers to anchor fluidic models.
• Provide on-site support during propulsion test campaigns.
• Perform test campaigns and analyze results in real-time.
• Conduct pre-test and post-test reviews and elaborate test reports.
• Update and correlate fluidic models based on test results.

Required qualifications

• Minimum of a bachelor's degree in a related Engineering discipline.
• +3 years of related experience in complex fluid systems, fluidic modeling, data analysis and data post processing.
• Strong engineering fundamentals in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and combustion principles.
• Proficiency in python for fluid analyses, data post processing and model anchoring.
• Proficiency in conducting fluid analyses using classical hand calculations.
• Excellent collaboration skills for working effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
• Fluency in English.
• Strong oral and written communication skills.
• Strong analysis and problem-solving skills.
• Strong organizing and prioritization of tasks.
• Strong team player with a proactive mindset.
