As a Mechanical Engineer II at Impulse for our Vehicle Engineering Team, you are responsible for the design, build, test/analysis & integration of your hardware– working with cross-functional engineering teams to accomplish this. This means cradle-to-grave ownership of primary/secondary structure and critical space mechanisms in support of Impulse’s collection of next generation advanced propulsion space vehicles. Own all aspects of hardware development and execution, from concept through launch and orbital maneuvers Formulate the comprehensive cradle to grave Road Map for your hardware Establish driving loads and develop efficient structural design using first principles to inform critical architecture decisions on primary and secondary structures Perform and document analysis with clear objectives to support design intent including hand calculations, finite element analysis, and kinematic analysis Identify, specify, and source commercial components to support design intent as required Incorporate manufacturing trades into conceptual design to explore different construction methods including machined, formed, welded, composite, or other opportunities Proactively guide all aspects of your hardware’s maturity, project managing your hardware’s end users, stakeholders, and adjacent contributors to ensure all aspects of the system continue to mature together and that your assumptions are well understood outside yourself and remain valid Communicate effectively to ensure adjacent designs (such as propulsion, electrical, software and controls subsystems) are accounting for and supporting your hardware assumptions Produce engineering drawings with required specifications for manufacturing Generate Test Plans and provide direct support to ensure successful execution of your hardware’s structural qualification and acceptance testing.
