About the role
- You will report to the Head of Propulsion.
- This is a hands-on role for someone sharp and practical who is comfortable owning a discipline without an expert above them.
Responsibilities
- Own grain design and internal ballistics.
- Build motor performance models for total impulse, peak and average thrust, specific impulse, and throat erosion.
- Design the dual-pulse architecture.
- Design the head-end igniters.
- Own the case and nozzle integration. The structural design of the case may sit with the vehicle engineering team
- Support customer engagements and SBIR pursuits with quick concept work on additional motor sizes, especially when the revenue is real.
- Direct dual-pulse motor design or dual-thrust grain experience (pulse-separation devices, dividers, multi-composition grains).
- Tactical, munition, or missile-class motor design experience.
- Head-end igniter design experience.
- Hands-on grain casting or hands-on tooling design, so you know what you are asking of the manufacturing engineer when you change geometry.
Requirements
- A clearance is not required for this position.
- Must be a U.S. Person.
Skills
- B.S. in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering, Physics, or related field.
- Fluency with composite-propellant solid motor design.
Compensation
- America is critically deficient in production of defensive munitions- we currently produce shipborne interceptors in the few hundreds per year while our adversaries are producing offensive threats in the tens of thousands per year.
- Furientis was started to help solve this problem- introducing a new class of cost-effective, high production rate, interceptor missiles.
- We're seeking motivated individuals who internalize this problem and are eager to apply their past experience in similar industries (aerospace, defense, automotive/racing, robotics) and out of the box thinking to solve this problem for the US and its allies.
Company info
- The Propulsion Team designs, builds, and flies the solid rocket motors that power our interceptor.
- We own the chemistry, the motor and grain design, the ground test campaigns, and the range operations.
Visa & Work Authorization
- Must be a U.S. Person
