Fluid System Development Engineer

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Support architecture and detailed design of fluid systems: schematics (P&IDs), component selection, routing/layout, mounting, and serviceability.
• Size components and lines using first principles and simple models (pressure drop, flow rates, heat transfer) and validate assumptions with test.
• Partner with mechanical/electrical/software teams on sensors, controls, and fault detection for fluid subsystems.
• Create and execute development tests: leak checks, performance characterization, endurance screening, and instrumentation plans.
• Own tight feedback loops: capture issues, propose design changes, and re-test quickly with strong documentation.
• Support producibility: BOM rationalization, supplier engagement, assembly procedures, and verification checklists.

Job requirements

• BS in Mechanical, Aerospace, or related engineering discipline.
• Comfortable working with physical hardware and learning hands-on (fittings, tubing, seals, pumps/valves, instrumentation).
• Strong fundamentals in fluids/thermo and an engineering mindset that balances performance, safety, and maintainability.
• Clear, collaborative communicator who can translate field observations into actionable design improvements.
