About MomentuX Systems

MomentuX Systems develops mission-critical systems for the space and defence sectors, engineered to perform in demanding operating environments.

We combine solid engineering fundamentals with hands-on execution, taking systems from first-principles analysis and design through prototyping, testing, qualification, and deployment.

We are looking for a hands-on R&D; Engineer with strong fundamentals in fluid mechanics and turbomachinerywho enjoys solving challenging engineering problems.

You will work on the development of compact, high-speed centrifugal pumps, taking concepts from first-principles calculations through impeller design, rapid prototyping, experimental testing, and performance optimization.

This is a core R&D; and product development role, not an equipment selection or package engineering position. We are looking for engineers who can develop new designs, challenge assumptions, investigate problems, and translate engineering theory into working hardware.

What We're Looking For

Impeller Design & Turbomachinery Fundamentals

- Hands-on experience designing centrifugal pump impellers from first principles, rather than relying solely on established standards, empirical correlations, or existing designs.
- Strong understanding of fluid mechanics and turbomachinery fundamentals.
- Ability to independently perform flow, pressure, head, and power calculations.
- Understanding of Euler's turbomachinery equation and velocity triangles.
- Experience determining blade/vane inlet and outlet angles.
- Impeller diameter, width, and flow passage sizing.
- Slip factor,



hydraulic losses, and efficiency estimation.
- Experience in volute design and sizing.
- Understanding of cavitation, NPSH, and pump operating limits.
- Ability to predict and generate pump performance curves.

R&D;, Prototyping & Experimental Validation

- Ability to translate analytical calculations into practical mechanical designs.
- Comfortable with CAD, rapid prototyping, and 3D printing.
- Experience designing and setting up physical pump test rigs.
- Hands-on experience with instrumentation, flow and pressure measurements, and experimental validation.
- Comfortable building, testing, modifying, and troubleshooting hardware.
- Ability to compare analytical predictions with experimental results, identify discrepancies, and iterate designs to improve performance.

Engineering Approach

- Strong first-principles thinking, physical intuition, and problem-solving ability.
- Ability to approach unfamiliar engineering problems systematically.
- Willingness to challenge assumptions and investigate unexpected results.
- Genuine interest in hands-on research, experimentation, and product development.
- CFD experience is an advantage but not mandatory. Strong engineering fundamentals and physical understanding matter more than software proficiency.

Education B.E./B.Tech, M.E./M.Tech/MS, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline.

We value engineering fundamentals, independent problem-solving, technical curiosity, and hands-on R&D; experience more than degree level or years of experience.
