Propulsion Development Engineer II Security Clearance

Position: Propulsion Development Engineer II with Security Clearance
Space is a war fighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it. OUR MISSION True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors - enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.

OUR VALUES
* Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.
* What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.
* It's the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together. YOUR MISSION As a Propulsion Development Engineer at True Anomaly, you will be an integral contributor to the buildout and early operations of our new Denver Front Range propulsion test facility. Working directly alongside our Propulsion Development and Test team, you will support the full arc of facility development - from requirements and trade studies through detailed design, fabrication oversight, installation, and commissioning, operations, and propulsion testing.

This is an early-career role with broad exposure: on any given week you may be running analysis to support a trade study, reviewing vendor drawings, supporting a proof pressure test, or helping develop a test procedure. You will grow quickly, work on hardware that matters, and contribute to a propulsion test capability being built from the ground up. RESPONSIBILITIES Requirements & Trade Study Support
* Support the development and maintenance of test stand requirements documentation and requirements traceability matrices under the direction of senior engineers.
* Assist in the preparation and execution of trade studies evaluating facility infrastructure options, GSE configurations, and test stand design alternatives; compile data, build comparison matrices, and contribute to formal trade study reports.
* Research commercially available components, instrumentation systems, and facility equipment; summarize findings and support vendor engagement.
* Help to maintain documentation of the test stand configuration as requirements evolve and design decisions are made. Design & Drawing Support
* Support the Senior Development Engineers in the development of CAD models and engineering drawings for test stand structures, fluid system components, and GSE hardware.
* Review vendor and supplier drawings for compliance with design requirements and interface specifications; work redlines and open actions to closure.
* Assist with P&t and markup, maintaining revision control and supporting design review preparation.
* Help develop fabrication packages and bill of materials for test stand hardware under senior engineer guidance. Analysis & Verification
* Perform or support engineering calculations for pressure systems, including flow sizing, pressure drop analysis, proof and burst margin verification, and relief device sizing.
* Support structural analysis activities for test stand hardware, including load estimates and margin checks.
* Assist with requirements verification planning and maintain verification status matrices tracking compliance across facility systems.
* Support development and review of hazard analyses and facility safety documentation. Fabrication, Installation & Commissioning Support
* Support procurement activities including preparation of purchase requisitions, review of supplier technical proposals, and tracking of long-lead hardware deliveries.
* Assist with oversight of fabricated hardware during build and assembly; document nonconformances and support disposition.
* Participate in installation and commissioning activities at the test facility site, including system walkdowns, installation verification, and acceptance testing.
* Assist with proof pressure testing, leak checks, and functional verification of installed systems; collect and reduce test data. Test Operations Support
* Contribute to the development of test plans, test procedures, and data acquisition configurations for early test campaigns.
* Support test execution as a test stand operator or…
