Perform computational fluid dynamics analysis for propulsion system components and thruster plumes to guide design and integration. Conduct simulations of valves, regulators, and injectors while characterizing plume-induced thermal and force effects. Requires an M.S. or Ph.D. in aerospace and 3+ years of hands-on CFD experience in propulsion or fluid dynamics.

Key Highlights
Perform CFD simulations of propulsion components including valves, regulators, and injectors
Model thruster plume characterization from near-field continuum to far-field rarefied flow
Validate and correlate CFD models against cold-flow and hot-fire test data
Key Responsibilities
Perform CFD simulations of propulsion components to characterize internal flow, pressure drop, and flow-induced loads.
Support design trade studies by predicting component-level performance in steady-state and transient conditions.
Model thruster plume characterization and assess plume-induced thermal, contamination, and force/torque effects.
Predict performance parameters such as thrust coefficient and specific impulse to support thruster and nozzle design.
Collaborate with propulsion design engineers and structural/thermal analysts to translate CFD results into design inputs.
Validate and correlate CFD models against test data from cold-flow and hot-fire testing.
Maintain and improve CFD simulation workflows, meshing practices, and tools.
Produce technical reports and analysis documentation for design reviews and certification.
