About This Opportunity

Who We Are: The Propulsion & Energy Machinery Section performs engineering R&D in the fields of gas turbine combustion, air-breathing propulsion, industrial heat and power, and liquid propulsion. Our technologies are powering a cleaner future and advancing state-of-the-art propulsion systems for air and space flight. Objectives of this Role: Support the design, analysis, and testing of systems and components used in a variety of propulsion and energy processes. Typical application areas include: supercritical CO2 oxy-fuel combustion systems, gas turbine combustion systems, and launch vehicle components. Apply principles of machine design, piping/pressure vessel design, process controls and instrumentation, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer to develop test systems and specify components. Many systems operate at extreme pressure and temperature conditions. Apply knowledge of fabrication methods, assembly, and geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T) to ensure component...
