Job description
• Role & Company / Project Overview: InspeCity is hiring a high-ownership Propulsion Systems Engineer to lead the architecture, integration, verification, and launch compliance of satellite propulsion systems from concept through in-orbit operations. This role operates in the Aerospace / Space Technology industry based on-site in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. • Key Responsibilities & Daily Duties: 1. Requirements & Architecture: Translate mission needs into propulsion requirements and system architectures. Maintain end-to-end traceability and lead technical reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, MRR, TRR, FRR). 2. Integration & ICDs: Serve as the focal point for Interface Control Documents (ICDs), ensuring seamless compatibility across structures, thermal, power, avionics, GNC, and flight software. 3. Launch Vehicle Compliance: Coordinate qualification evidence, range safety, pressurized systems compliance, and approvals with launch providers (e.g., SpaceX Rideshare, ISRO). 4. Technical Budgets & Risk Analysis: Manage system technical margins (mass, power, thermal, volume). Lead safety and reliability assessments (FMECA, FTA, DFMEA/PFMEA, SSPP). 5. Verification, Testing & Operations: Develop V&V plans and verification matrices. Drive development testing, TRRs, anomaly resolution, and propellant loading/in-orbit readiness. 6. Cross-Functional Leadership: Act as the primary technical authority to resolve system-level design conflicts between propulsion research and satellite engineering teams. • Required Qualifications, Skills & Experience: - Basic Education: Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Systems Engineering, or a related discipline. - Basic Experience: 3+ years managing requirements, system integration, and V&V for complex hardware products (aerospace industry experience preferred). - Technical Expertise: Ability to design propulsion systems from scratch using hand calculations and fluid/combustion/thermal simulations. - Standards & Safety: Familiarity with pressurized system standards (ANSI/AIAA S-080A/81B, ASME BPVC), safety practices (FMECA), and spaceflight qualification guidelines (SpaceX, ISRO). - Lifecycle Reviews: Hands-on experience contributing to or leading PDR/CDR milestones. - Preferred Education: Master’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering. - Preferred Experience: 5+ years of hardware team leadership experience. - Tool Proficiency: Proficiency in CFD/thermal modeling tools (ANSYS, Siemens NX, OpenFOAM) for compressible, two-phase, or combustion flow. - Working knowledge of satellite mission analysis and tools like JIRA/Confluence. • Working Hours, Shifts & Location Details: - Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka, India (On-site). - Work Environment: On-site role with exposure to high-pressure, thermal, electrical, and propellant test environments. - Fast-paced hardware development environment requiring agility and periodic travel between Thane and Bengaluru facilities. • Application Instructions: - Send your resume to the designated recruitment contact.
