Aerospace Engineer I II – Altitude Simulation Systems

Agile Space Industries is seeking a Aerospace Engineer I/II focused on altitude simulation systems to support the design build and operation of propulsion test stands.

This role is responsible for developing and operating systems that simulate high-altitude environments using vacuum generation compressible flow control and thermal management.

You will work across design and operations to develop systems using multi-stage vacuum systems mechanical pumps and motive gas (Steam GN2 etc) driven ejectors venturi pumps and multi-stage systems.

This is not a purely analytical role. You will be expected to understand how altitude systems behave during live test operations and support systems from concept through commissioning.

You are responsible for making the environment match the mission.

Responsibilities

• Support the design and development of altitude simulation systems including:
• Vacuum generation design using motive gas (steam GN2) or mechanical pumping
• Ejectors venturi pumps multi-stage systems and mechanical pumps
• Diffusers and exhaust flow management systems
• Develop and maintain P&IDs system layouts and flow schematics
• Perform compressible flow analysis including mass flow pressure ratios and choked flow behavior
• Support modeling and evaluation of vacuum performance including pump down behavior steady-state capability and transient response
• Support design and integration of venturi and ejector systems including nozzle sizing and multi-stage performance
• Assist in evaluation of thermal effects including heat transfer icing condensation and flow conditioning
• Support integration of altitude systems with propulsion hardware controls and instrumentation
• Participate in commissioning and live test operations including system tuning and performance validation
• Troubleshoot system anomalies related to flow vacuum performance and thermal behavior
• Maintain configuration control and ensure accurate as-built documentation
• Collaborate with Test Operations to ensure systems are operable reliable and aligned with test objectives

Level Expectations

Aerospace Engineer I

• 03 years of experience
• Supports altitude system design under guidance
• Assists with calculations layouts and documentation
• Participates in system checkout and test support

Aerospace Engineer II

• 25 years of experience
• Executes portions of system design independently
• Owns subsystems such as ejector stages or motive gas routing
• Supports system performance evaluation and troubleshooting

• Bachelors degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering
• Strong demonstrated understanding of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics
• Exposure to compressible flow or gas systems
• Ability to read P&IDs and mechanical drawings
• Familiarity with engineering tools such as MATLAB or Python
• Willingness to support hands-on test operations

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with ejectors venturi pumps or vacuum systems
• Experience with high-pressure gas systems
• Familiarity with diffuser systems or exhaust flow management
• Experience supporting test stands propulsion systems or industrial gas systems
• Exposure to thermal analysis or heat transfer applications

Work Environment

Combination of analysis design and hands-on test support

Exposure to high-pressure gas systems vacuum systems and active propulsion test environments

You are not analyzing flow.

You are shaping the environment the engine lives in.
