Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Turbomachinery Verified today
About the Role
You will produce components and assemblies for the fuel and oxidizer turbopumps of the Aeon-R and Aeon-R Vac engines. You will own the manufacturing trades and develop processes for fabricating, testing, and delivering critical Aeon-R hardware and subassemblies.
You will serve as the main point of contact between the manufacturing and design teams as you optimize Aeon-R architecture and scale manufacturing operations. You should thrive in ambiguity and drive projects to completion, with the passion and tenacity to work through challenges unique to rocket turbopumps and additively manufactured hardware.
What You Will Do
- Design and refine manufacturing processes for turbopump assembly, rotor balancing, interference fits, clearance checks, structural proofing, and leak checks
- Conduct tolerance stack-up analysis, structural proof testing, and pressurised leak checks
- Interface with design teams to optimise Aeon-R hardware architecture and inform new iterations
- Develop tooling concepts, models, drafts, and detailed analysis
- Collaborate across multidisciplinary teams in a fast-paced aerospace environment
About You
- Degree in engineering or related technical field and 5+ years of relevant experience
- Experience with turbopump assembly procedures, including rotor balancing, interference fits, clearance checks, structural proofing, and leak checks
- Manufacturing process experience: fluids testing, machining, additive
- Knowledge of general assembly and test procedures, including tolerance stack-up analysis, structural proof testing, and pressurised leak checks
- Experience with Siemens NX or other CAD and analysis tools
- Experience with tooling design, including conceptualisation, modelling, drafting, and detailed analysis
Nice to Have
- Experience working with additively manufactured engine hardware
- Experience with GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and industry specifications
- Experience in a startup or agile development environment
- Experience working in a flight development program
