Propulsion Development Engineer (m/f/d)

Job description

Mission Brief Serve as the technical owner for bearing configuration and life analysis, rotor dynamic stability assessments, dynamic seal performance, and associated development testing. Additionally, you will maintain the top-level turbopump CAD Your Role in Our Space Mission: - Develop analytical and empirical models to perform comprehensive rotodynamic analyses, including stability and critical speed mapping (Campbell diagrams). Refine such models based on test data. - Design and validate bearing configurations in cryogenic applications, drive continuous improvement for rotating system reliability and analyze bearing health through test data and hardware inspections. - Develop, analyze, and validate dynamic seal concepts (e.g., labyrinth seals, brush seals, face contact seals) for performance, wear, and leakage criteria. - Lead seal and bearing development test campaigns, including planning, instrumentation definition, execution oversight, and data interpretation. - Collaborate with test facility responsibles to ensure proper test setup. - Collaborate with structural mechanics team for turbopump rotor related investigations. · - Maintain the top-level turbopump CAD assembly, lea...
