Want to enter the Space Industry - Our client also seek graduate premier-super-minds for thier recruitment intake. Awarded a First Class Classification, Engineering, IT Software Design degree, Masters and Ph.D.

Job Introduction:
•  No aerospace experience required- we welcome fresh graduates as well as those with hands-on backgrounds in aviation, automotive, manufacturing, offshore  operations, industrial systems, construction, or adjacent industries.
• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related field.

• No aerospace experience needed-we value unique backgrounds and perspectives
• Demonstrated ability to safely operate common power tools.
• Ability to deliver on tight schedules, especially when unconventional & creative solutions are necessary.
• This role may require travel to production and launch locations, up to 10%
• Valid driver's license to operate vehicles on the test site.

• Nice to haves but not required
• Proficiency in 3D modeling and drafting, including GD&T.
• Strong engineering fundamentals in Thermal Fluid Systems and Structures.
• Hands-on fabrication experience for complex assemblies.

• Working knowledge of fluid components and ability to understand/develop fluid P&IDs for large-scale test systems.
• Experience safely operating complex fluid systems, including high pressure gas, cryogenic fluids, flammables, and hydraulics
• Technical writing or documentation experience.

Responsibilities:
• As a Propulsion Test Engineer II, you will work with test stands and test articles (high-energy components, engines, and full stages) for Terran R. You'll have the opportunity to see a heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle and its many parts come to life through testing.

• You'll solve a variety of technical problems across broad ranges of timeframe, complexity, and impact, and continuously improve processes to move faster and more efficiently.

• The role includes three focus areas - Design & Build, Operations, and Integration.
• You'll initially be placed on a team in one focus area, with opportunities to work across focuses as you develop in the role, particularly between Operations and Integration which work closely together.
• Design fluid systems (gas, liquid, cryogenic) including Piping & Instruction Diagrams. (P&IDs), analysis, and component selection.

• Design structural and mechanical systems
•  including 3D modeling, analysis, and fabrication drawings.
• Source components and develop detailed fabrication work instructions.

• Bring new test stands to life by managing fabrication, activation, and initial operations.
• Design and implement upgrades to operational test stands to enable new test capabilities.
• Maintain test stands through preventive maintenance and rapid response to anomalies & equipment failures.

• [Operations Focus].
• Conduct test operations on high-energy components, engines, and stages.
• Control test stand and test article through GUIs and automation while monitoring cameras and telemetry.
• Conduct flight acceptance, qualification, and development testing campaigns to validate designs and continuously improve the rocket.
• Develop and optimize GUIs, procedures, control automation, and data review processes.

• Prepare test articles for testing through inspections, functional checks, leak checks, and managing non-conformances.
• Bring new test stands to life and support modifications and maintenance on existing facilities.
• Operations Engineers typically work a scheduled morning or evening shift
• [Integration Focus].
• Manage test articles through test prep, post-test processing, and repairs.

• Author work instructions for test articles and coordinate work with technicians and quality inspectors.
• Manage non-conformances, author corrective work instructions, and implement part requirements.
• Maintain work instructions current with evolving build specifications and drive standardiastion across sites.
• Incorporate feedback and optimize part usage to streamline hardware flow and reduce waste.
• Integration Engineers typically work a scheduled morning or evening shift.
