Top Engineering Jobs in CO

Performs high-fidelity structural and thermal analyses of solid rocket motor components using FEA and analytical modeling. Supports design iterations, material and geometry decisions, test-data correlation, manufacturing feasibility, nonconformance dispositions, failure investigations, design reviews, and continuous improvement. Develops technical documentation and collaborates with design, manufacturing, and test teams across development, qualification, and production programs.

Performs high-fidelity structural, thermal, and dynamic analyses for solid rocket motor components. Develops and validates FEA models using ANSYS, Abaqus, or NASTRAN; correlates models with test data; supports design, manufacturing, qualification, failure investigations, and production. Provides recommendations on geometry, materials, and thermal protection systems, assesses nonconforming hardware, develops engineering processes, and mentors analysis engineers.

Develops and leads system safety, mission assurance, reliability, and risk-management strategies for rocket motor and propulsion systems. Responsibilities include safety board coordination, hazard classification, risk registers, system-level failure assessments, lifecycle planning, flight-test safety, reliability assessments, and failure investigations. Collaborates with design, testing, manufacturing, mission operations, and program teams, while interfacing with Department of Defense safety review boards.

Perform high-fidelity transient and steady-state thermal analyses for aerospace components and systems under extreme conditions. Develop and validate models using Thermal Desktop, SINDA/FLUINT, and ITRAC; assess insulation, ablative materials, and thermal protection systems; correlate predictions with test data; and support design, manufacturing, testing, failure investigations, and technical documentation.

Analyzes solid rocket motor ballistics and propellant performance, develops and validates computational tools, reviews test data, supports energetic materials testing, investigates failures, and informs design and manufacturing decisions. Presents technical findings to internal teams, government partners, and commercial customers while collaborating across systems, design, and manufacturing functions.

Performs high-fidelity fluids analyses for solid rocket motor products using hand calculations, steady and transient CFD, and 1D modeling. Evaluates test data, correlates analytical models, supports design improvements, and collaborates with design, manufacturing, and test teams. Participates in design reviews, failure investigations, technical documentation, and continuous improvement. Provides mentorship and technical guidance to peers.

The Senior Embedded Software Engineer will design and maintain software for aerospace systems, debug hardware, and collaborate on software features in a reliable and high-performance environment.

Lead development of guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems from concept to flight-ready software. Design and simulate algorithms, translate requirements into embedded implementations, support HIL and flight test, analyze test data, coordinate across vehicle design, avionics, structures and testing, and document results while mitigating technical risk.

Lead technical owner for solid rocket motor product development and deployment. Direct multidisciplinary teams through design, analysis, testing, qualification, and production-readiness. Establish product architecture, drive trade studies, manage risk mitigation and test campaigns, oversee data reduction and correlation, and support customer technical exchanges to ensure performance, safety, and manufacturability.

Design, fabricate, and test prototype solid rocket motor hardware and manufacturing processes. Lead cross-functional communication, develop CAD models and drawings, create test plans, analyze test data, investigate failures, and manage schedules and documentation.
