Fluid Systems Development Engineer

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential aerospace client in Munich, Germany, seeking a Fluid Systems Development Engineer to join their advanced propulsion program. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge space transportation technologies while working with a talented engineering team on critical fluid system development.

Our client is developing next-generation propulsion systems, and this role will be central to the Storm engine project, focusing on fluid system architecture, component integration, and test validation.

Responsibilities

• Translate engine-level functional and performance requirements into fluid-system requirements, architectures, and development priorities
• Lead architecture trade-off studies, sensitivity analyses, and risk assessments to support robust design decisions
• Define and manage the development roadmap for fluid-system sub-assemblies, from concept through maturation and qualification
• Lead the design of fluid systems and the selection, development, and integration of their components, including make-or-buy decisions
• Define and manage verification and validation strategies, including requirements, test specifications, acceptance criteria, and evidence of compliance
• Design and specify pneumatic equipment required to support demonstrator test campaigns and test-article operations
• Analyze test data to assess system performance, identify discrepancies, and validate fluid-system models
• Feed test results and lessons learned back into system design, requirements, and future development activities

What We're Looking For

• Master's Degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline (or bachelor's degree with substantial relevant experience)
• Minimum 2 years of proven experience developing propulsion fluid systems
• Strong knowledge of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and cryogenic fluids
• Good knowledge of fluid components (check-valves, pressure regulators, etc.)
• Fluency in English; proficiency in German or French is an asset
• Basic knowledge of aerospace standards (e.g., ECSS, NASA guidelines)
• Experience writing scripts in Python
• Experience using 3D CAD software (Siemens NX is a plus)
• Experience with modeling and simulation tools (e.g., EcosimPro) is a plus
• Hands-on experience developing hardware from concept to working prototypes is an asset
• Strong collaboration, communication, analysis, and problem-solving skills
• Excellent organizational skills and ability to prioritize tasks under time constraints
• Passion for space exploration and aerospace innovation
