Job Summary

Seeking a Thermo-mechanical Engineer to design, analyze, and optimize combustion devices for cryogenic rocket engines in the Future Projects division. You’ll support structural/thermal analyses, run FEA, develop reduced-order models, and drive life assessment and reliability for reusable hardware. Collaboration with combustion/fluids engineers, instrument strategy, and design reviews will shape structural and thermal requirements, material selection, and risk assessments across the propulsion system.

Location: France

Workplace: Onsite

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Field Service, Maintenance & Skilled Trades

Key Responsibilities

•Support structural and thermal analysis of combustion device hardware including injector heads, faceplates, combustion chambers, manifolds, and structural interfaces.
•Perform finite element analysis (FEA) and establish practical design suggestions and margin assessments for hardware development.
•Develop and apply analytical and reduced-order models to estimate heat transfer, structural loads, and thermal boundary conditions to inform design trades and hardware maturation.
•Support hardware development and maturation, including design iteration, development planning, test definition, and post-test assessment of structural and thermal performance.
•Drive life assessment activities, including low-cycle fatigue, thermal fatigue, cyclic loading, margin tracking, and damage accumulation for reusable hardware.

Key Requirements

•Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
•Experience (academic, internship, or professional) in structural or thermal analysis of high-performance mechanical systems.
•Strong fundamentals in solid mechanics, heat transfer, and pressure-loaded structures.
•Experience with FEA tools such as ANSYS, NASTRAN, Abaqus, or equivalent.
•Ability to interpret complex thermal and pressure boundary conditions and apply them appropriately in structural models.
