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 turbo machinery for our reusable engines.

• 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 turbo machinery or rocket-engine component experience, including design/build/test of turbopumps or related systems
• Strong knowledge of fluid/rotor dynamics, cryogenics, bearings, and rotating machine behavior
• Proficiency in CAD (Siemens NX, Solid Works, 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
