Propulsion Analyst, Launch Vehicle Development

We are supporting a fast-moving launch company developing next-generation rocket vehicles from concept through flight. The team is building at an early-stage, 0-to-1 phase, so this role suits someone who enjoys ambiguity, ownership, and working closely with propulsion, vehicle, test, and systems teams.

The Role

You will support propulsion system analysis across liquid rocket engine and/or vehicle-level propulsion architecture, helping drive design decisions through modelling, simulation, trade studies, and performance evaluation.

Responsibilities

• Perform propulsion system analysis for launch vehicle and rocket engine development
• Build and maintain models for engine performance, fluid systems, thermodynamics, and vehicle-level propulsion behaviour
• Support trade studies across engine cycle, propellant selection, feed systems, pressurisation, cooling, and performanc...
