Eligibility

• We strongly prefer working with individuals who are passionate about aerospace and are willing to work with us for the long term.

WHAT IT TAKES ?

• If you have wondered where the center of gravity of the Penrose Stairs lies, this is for you.
• Even better if you have spent more than 100 hours trying to figure out the best material for Space Elevator Tethers.
• Preferably, you have also googled: “Inconel vs. carbon composites for 3d printing”

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Responsible for build of initial development hardware, ensuring efficient manufacturability and modifying design as needed (Can’t “stress” this point enough – pun intended)
• Perform, document, and present static, dynamic, custom-modal, thermo-mechanical, fatigue and fracture analyses
• Perform initial sizing analyses by hand calculation, detailed structural analysis using Finite element analysis tools
• Perform detailed fluid system layout and/or mechanical design utilizing CAD and understanding of materials
• Seek out and evaluate state-of-the-art analysis techniques and tools
• Identify and procure long lead items such as machining parts, seals, forgings, etc.
• Coordinate and perform development and qualification efforts of hardware
• Design and build testing equipment or stands
• Manage the transition from development to production for flight quality hardware

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline
• Experience with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and commercial tools
• Excellent understanding of fatigue and fracture mechanics principles
• Ability to work extended hours and weekends as needed.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Master’s degree or PhD in an engineering discipline
• Strong background in solid mechanics and structural dynamics (custom-modal, transient, and random vibration analysis)
• Expert on fatigue, crack initiation, propagation mechanisms and metallic failure prevention
• Familiar with crack growth analysis codes
• Excellent oral and written communication skills
• Ability to deliver against an aggressive schedule

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

• Must be available to work extended hours and weekends as needed.

What you could take away?

• Your work will directly impact the company’s (and the rocket’s) trajectory.
• You will learn rocket science from some of the most senior and respected minds in ISRO.
• You will work on shaping space policy in India.
• You will dirty your hands in a global supply/chain optimization problem.
