Full Job Description

General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) designs and manufactures first-of-a-kind electromagnetic and electric power generation systems. GA-EMS' expanding portfolio of specialized products and integrated system solutions support critical fleet, space systems and satellites, missile defense, power and energy, and process and monitoring applications for defense, industrial, and commercial customers worldwide.

We have an exciting opportunity available for a seasoned spacecraft thermodynamics/fluids engineer to support our team located in Englewood, CO. The Senior Spacecraft Thermodynamics/Fluids Engineer will support the development of satellite systems with the responsibility of developing technical solutions for the long-term objectives of the Division, while serving as a mentor and thought leader for our growing team of engineers

This Thermodynamics/Fluids Engineer will support all phases of assigned engineering programs from inception through completion. The successful candidate will be able to navigate disciplines outside of thermodynamics engineering and must collaborate effectively with technical staff, program managers and engineering management. Strong and confident decision-making ability is essential.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

Ability to analyze spacecraft, aerospace or mechanical components
Analysis of gas/liquid propulsion monopropellant and bi-propellant components/subassemblies into gas and liquid propulsion subsystems.
Lead the analysis and optimization of spacecraft fluid systems, with a focus on propulsion, slosh dynamics, plume impingement and aerophysics.
Perform advanced simulations and modeling of fluid behavior in spacecraft environments, including zero-gravity, extreme temperature variations, and vacuum conditions.
Develop and validate fluid system designs for both current and future spacecraft, considering mission-specific needs and operational challenges.
Leverage mechanical engineering background within the fundamental areas by designed aerospace vehicle structures and spacecraft.
Provide technical leadership in the design and testing of fluid systems, including defining requirements, selecting materials, and developing test plans.
Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance to enhance team performance and knowledge.
Prepare detailed reports, technical documentation, and presentations for stakeholders and management.
Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in fluid dynamics, spacecraft technologies, and industry standards.

We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.

Job Qualifications

Typically requires a bachelors degree, masters degree or PhD in engineering or a related technical discipline from an accredited institution and progressive engineering experience as follows; six or more years of experience with a bachelors degree, four or more years of experience with a masters degree, or two or more years with a PhD. May substitute equivalent engineering experience in lieu of education.
Expert-level knowledge of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, and materials science applied to spacecraft systems.
Proficiency in advanced fluid simulation tools (e.g., Star-CCM+ or similar platforms).
Strong background in spacecraft design and operations, with a focus on ensuring fluid system reliability in space environments.
Experience with space propulsion components such as propellant tanks, manifolds, regulators, valves are desirable. Familiarity with orbital station-keeping, space environments, and orbital achievement desirable.
Familiarity with Space Nuclear Propulsion is a plus.
Experience in fluid modeling of propulsion systems, including plume impingement, waterhammer, and pressure drop analyses.
Exceptional analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills, with a strong ability to develop innovative solutions.
Familiarity with all aspects of the satellite system design life cycle, including spacecraft level environmental testing, launch, and operations.
Must have a thorough understanding of engineering concepts, principles, codes, and theory; experience demonstrating a broad application of those concepts; and, expanding knowledge of principles, concepts, theory, and practices in related technical specialties.
Strong communication, leadership, presentation and interpersonal skills are required to enable an effective interface within departments, all levels of management, professional and support staff, customers, and government representatives. Ability to work extended hours and travel as required.
A Top-Secret/ SCI DoD Clearance is required.
