Cryogenic Propellant Management Engineer
il y a 3 semaines
Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.
The **Cryogenic Propellant Management Engineer **will work in a technical environment focused on the management and optimization of cryogenic propellant systems like tanks, pumps and heat exchanger that could imply fluid phase change and operation in micro-gravity.
The role requires a strong understanding of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and thermal management in cryogenic environments, as well as expertise in microgravity fluid dynamics. Collaboration across multidisciplinary teams will be vital to ensure the success of propellant management systems in high-stakes conditions.
**Key responsibilities**:
- Perform propellant management system performance analysis of ground testing conditions
- Perform propellant management system performance analysis of flight conditions with cryogenic propellants (especially in micro-gravity)
- Analyse propulsive system behaviour in all phases of operation, including chill-down, transient and steady-state, to investigate anomalies, and advise on design improvements
- Design and optimize chill-down procedures for the cryogenic pumps.
- Develop computational models to simulate chill-down and thermal management dynamics of the engine within cryogenic lines, valves, heat exchangers and electrical equipment housings (such as pump inverters and batteries)
- Reconstruct and anchor data from ground and flight performance into propellant management system models
- Contribute to roadmap evolution for propellant management tool development
- Contribute to the definition of propellant system architecture and specifications
**What we would love to see from you**:
- Master's degree or PhD in fluids dynamics, thermodynamics
- Specialization in space propulsion engineering would be appreciated
- Minimum of 3 years of experience working in fluid mechanics modelling and analysis
- Experience with CFD software (YALES2, OpenFOAM,...)
- Strong knowledge of phase change, heat transfer principles or equivalent is an asset
- Experience in storable or cryogenic propulsion is an asset
- Experience in testing is an asset
- Fluent in English
