About this role

Mission Brief We deliver the half of the rocket that stays on the ground. As a Senior Fluid Systems Design Engineer at the Ground Systems department of Isar Aerospace, you deliver the ground fluid infrastructure required for safe, reliable, and rapid test and launch of the Spectrum rocket. This includes test-rigs for development, qualification, and acceptance of launch vehicle and propulsion systems as well as entire launch bases.

You work hand-in-hand with Propulsion and Launch Vehicle development teams to translate their requirements into functional designs and concepts of operations. You tackle complex engineering challenges across multiple projects and phases – from concept to detail design, execution, commissioning, and handover to site owner and operator. Your Role in Our Space Mission: Design fluid systems for test and launch facilities, including rocket engine test-rigs, structure pressurization test-rigs, integrated stage testing rigs, launch pads, etc.

Perform sizing calculations and/or numerical simulations for fluid systems, including cryogenic propellants storage, conditioning, and distribution systems, high-pressure gas distribution and pressurization systems, etc. Select and procure suitable fluid hardware , including tanks, pumps, heat-exchangers, valves, pressure regulators, safety-valves, instrumentation, etc. Prepare technical documentation , such as PFDs and P&IDs, hardware lists, datasheets, etc.

that serve as a basis for manufacturing planning and execution Lead and contribute to system design reviews and risk assessments , ensuring safety, reliability, and compliance Act as a technical point of contact and subject matter expert for the projects and operations teams, consulting on fluid system questions and decisions Mentor junior and mid-level engineers and contribute to structuring and expanding knowledge in the team with guidelines, checklists, processes, presentations, etc.

Depending on interest and experience: Lead or support factory and site acceptance tests for fluid systems Lead or participate in commissioning planning and hands-on site operations Support test and launch campaigns on-site or remotely with operations or data analyses. Qualification Checklist Education and Experience: B.Sc. or M.Sc. degree in process/energy/chemical/aerospace/mechanical engineering or an equivalent qualification At least 5 years of relevant professional experience in aerospace, oil & gas, energy, chemical industry, engineering service provider or similar In-depth experience in the design and/or operation of high-pressure gas and cryogenic liquid systems, ideally, in the context of rocket testing and launching facilities <span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":
