Experience with P&ID’s, 0D/1D thermal/fluid networks for gases and liquids - Takes initiative for continuous improvement (not just completing assigned tasks) - Flexibility to work in fast-paced and high-growth environment - Attentive to detail and maintain a high level of quality in all work PERKS &

BENEFITS - Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, including Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) - 401(k) program and transparent stock option plan - Self-managed and flexible time-off policy, including PTO, paid holidays, and sick time - Flexible work environment ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Astro Mechanica is an equal opportunity employer.

ABOUT US: Astro Mechanica is a vertically integrated aerospace company building a faster, more connected future.
Our mission is to democratize high-speed flight by making supersonic travel flexible, accessible, and sustainable.
We believe that rapid, on-demand, point-to-point global mobility will become the new standard for moving people and goods across the planet.
In the near term, we are developing adaptable, high-speed systems to close aircraft performance gaps for the United States government.
WHO WE ARE: We’re a team of passionate engineers dedicated to advancing aerospace.
We’re generalists with specialist depth, united by a flat structure and a shared obsession with building things that work well.
We move fast, stay pragmatic, and let engineering excellence speak louder than hierarchy.
In this role, your mission will be to architect, analyze, build, and test critical fluid systems for the propulsion systems.
You will collaborate between propulsion, aircraft, and test teams to deliver optimized fluid hardware for the flight vehicle, proven through rigorous ground testing.
You are attentive to detail and enjoy solving nuanced, interconnected problems.
