Integration & Testing

You will be a hands-on engineer supporting assembly, integration and ground testing of turbopump systems. This area suits someone with a strong foundation in fluid systems and rotating machinery, plus a real interest in growing their turbomachinery expertise.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Planning, preparing and executing on-ground testing of turbopumps (including pumps and turbines) through cold-flow, spin tests and hot-fire support.
- Leading mechanical integration of turbopumps with feed systems, test stands and engine assemblies.
- Performing and verifying rotor balancing (static and dynamic) to defined requirements.
- Following and improving assembly procedures, torque specifications, cleanliness standards and inspection checklists.
- Analyzing test data (pressure, flow, temperature, vibration, speed) and supporting anomaly investigations.
- Working with design, manufacturing and quality teams to close out non-conformances and feed lessons back into design.
- Maintaining test documentation, assembly records and traceability.
- Presenting integration and test plans, readiness and test results at the PDR, TDR and VDR, closing out review actions and getting clearance at each stage.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- 2–5 years of experience in turbomachinery or rotating equipment.
- Hands-on experience with ground testing, test stand operations and instrumentation.
- Working knowledge of rotor dynamics and balancing requirements.
- Familiarity with assembly standards: torque control, fits and tolerances, bearing and seal installation.
- Ability to read engineering drawings and apply GD&T.;
- Experience with vibration analysis and data acquisition systems.
- Comfortable working on the shop floor and at test sites.
- Positive to have for this area
- Exposure to cryogenic fluids or high-pressure propellant systems.
- Experience with bearings and seals for high-speed rotating machinery.
- Familiarity with MATLAB/Python for data analysis, or CAD (SolidWorks, NX, CATIA).





KEY RESPONSIBILITIES ACROSS ALL ROLES

- Correlate test data with design and analysis predictions, and update models to match.
- Find the root causes of performance gaps and test anomalies, and turn them into design or process improvements.
- Own and present your work at the Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Test Design Review (TDR) and Validation Design Review (VDR), close out review actions and get clearance at each stage.
- Take part in cold-flow and hot-fire test campaigns, including test setup, on-site data review and post-test inspection.
- Work closely with design, manufacturing, quality and test teams to close out non-conformances.
- Keep design records, test documentation and traceability up to date.

WORK ENVIRONMENT

- This role is part of the Turbomachinery Department. It combines office-based engineering work with regular travel to assembly and testing sites to support turbopump builds, integration, and cold-flow and hot-fire testing.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS ACROSS ALL ROLEs

- B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech (Bachelor's or Master's) in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or equivalent.
- 2–5 years in turbomachinery or high-speed rotating machinery, plus the area-specific requirements above.
- Fresh graduates with strong fundamentals and relevant projects are welcome. Candidates with 2–5 years of experience should demonstrate practical experience in their focus area: pump or turbine design, rotor analysis, vibration and stability, or turbomachinery testing and integration.
- Python or MATLAB for engineering calculations and data analysis.
- Strong documentation habits and attention to detail.
- Keen interest in learning turbomachinery design, performance and failure modes.
- Common Good to Have
- Liquid rocket engine turbopump experience, especially with cryogenic propellants.
- Knowledge of safety protocols for high-pressure and hazardous test environments.
- Experience in aerospace, rocket propulsion, gas turbines or industrial pumps.
