Impulse is seeking a Propulsion Analyst (Fluids) to analyze spacecraft propulsion fluids systems and components. In this role, you will perform analysis of propulsion-related subsystems for liquid rockets, including propellant, pressurization, and feed systems. You will develop, validate, and maintain analytical models for performance prediction, trend identification, and requirements verification. Key responsibilities include designing tests and processing data to validate models and set system requirements, creating workflows to automate data processing and review, and interfacing with propulsion designers, test engineers, GNC, structures, and integration teams to translate engineering questions into analytical tasks.
This is a technical individual contributor role focused on fluids analysis and modeling within a spacecraft propulsion context. You will work cross-functionally to support propulsion system development and validation.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 1+ year of demonstrated experience with fluids network modeling analysis using commercial software (e.g., SINDA/FLUINT, GFSSP)
- Demonstrated analytical capability through coursework, research, internships, or professional experience involving modeling, data analysis, or simulation
- Strong fundamentals in compressible and incompressible fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer, including hand calculation methods
- Proficiency in scripting languages for analysis and data processing (Python or other)
- Ability to communicate complex results clearly to technical and cross-functional stakeholders
