## Description (the employer's text)

### Your Main Responsibilities

### Your Key Responsibilities

- Create a Phase 0/A design study of a propulsion system: Use Space Systems Engineering principles to create a complete propulsion system considering cross-subsystem topics.
- Fluid System Architecture & P&IDs: Derive and conduct fluidic system architecture tradeoffs, create and maintain Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs).
- Mechanical Design & CAD: Conduct mechanical design tradeoffs, model system components and assemblies, and make technical drawings.
- Component Selection & Specification: Trade, size, and specify critical fluid system and mechanical hardware, including tanks, control valves, and temperature sensors.
- Structural Design & Analysis: Conduct preliminary structural hand calculations to verify hardware integrity under launch loads, vibration, and thermal environments.
- Electrical & Instrumentation Interfacing: Work with the Avionics team to define and design electrical interfaces for propulsion components, specifying wire harnesses, connector types, and pinouts for power, telemetry, and command and control.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Coordinate with manufacturing, test, and system safety teams to ensure designs meet assembly, testing, and operational constraints.
### Your Qualification

- Studying aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, systems engineering or a related field
- Good understanding of the thermodynamic and fluidic behaviour of propellants
- Proficiency in mechanical design and CAD software (e.g. Fusion, NX, CATIA, or similar) and a foundational understanding of engineering drawings
- Familiarity with fluid system schematics (P&IDs) and common fluidic/pneumatic hardware components
- Familiarity with working across multiple space subsystems
- Proactive, self-directed working style, able to manage complex tasks independently and in a structured way
- Strong verbal and written communication skills for technical documentation and design reviews
- Fluent in English; German is a plus
- Ideally: Experience working in a student (rocketry or satellite) team
### Our Benefits

- An exciting work environment encompassing the whole process from the development, building, and launch of space propulsion systems
- Flexible working time
- Combination of working in the office, at home, and on the go
- Professional skills development through a broad base of responsibilities and freedom
- Engage directly and actively participate in the end-to-end development processes of an expanding NewSpace start-up
