Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Denver & Boulder, CO

Lead design, integration, commissioning, and sustainment of propulsion test stands, GSE, fluid-mechanical and electrical/controls systems. Own instrumentation/DAQ, run static-fire campaigns, perform hazard and risk assessments, obtain permits, and provide hands-on troubleshooting and cross-functional test leadership at remote test sites.

Perform high-fidelity CFD and 1D steady-state/transient fluid modeling for solid rocket motor systems. Support design, testing, and qualification by analyzing data, correlating models with tests, driving design improvements, participating in reviews and failure investigations, and mentoring peers while producing technical reports and documentation.

Lead conceptual and preliminary turbomachinery design as an SME, perform design trades and analyses, collaborate on manufacturable, flight-ready designs, support engine test and development, and troubleshoot performance and reliability issues for existing turbopumps.

Design, develop, and own combustion device hardware (injectors, chambers, nozzles, catalyst beds) through full lifecycle. Modify and qualify components, maintain combustor performance models, assemble and test prototypes, and collaborate with manufacturing, analysis, and test teams to improve performance, manufacturability, and part consistency. Produce work instructions and acceptance/qualification tests.

Manage daily transaction posting and maintain general ledger integrity through reconciliations, journal entries, month/year-end close, amortization/accrual schedules, bank reconciliations, internal controls, PBC preparation, cost accounting support, and cross-functional process improvements.

Lead clean-sheet liquid rocket engine design, system integration, and prototype test/validation. Mentor engineers, derive requirements, write assembly/work instructions, and iterate designs to meet performance, manufacturability, and qualification goals through to production readiness.

Design, develop, and validate fluid and mechanical propulsion components (gimbals, actuators, valves, fluid systems). Own designs from concept to production, derive requirements, write assembly/work instructions, assemble and test prototypes, and collaborate with interfacing teams to integrate and validate components across engine programs.

Lead clean-sheet design, development, and validation of fluid and mechanical propulsion components (gimbals, actuators, valves, fluid systems). Derive requirements, produce CAD designs, write assembly/work instructions, assemble and test prototypes, support system integration, and mentor team members through design-to-production and flight qualification.

Lead end-to-end aerospace/defense programs: own schedule, budget, risks, customer relationships, and deliverables. Coordinate cross-functional teams, prepare program review materials, manage contract scope, support capture/business development, and ensure on-time delivery while complying with ITAR/EAR and security clearance requirements.

Lead development and deployment of manufacturing processes and capital equipment for solid rocket motor production. Serve as process owner and SME, design and source machines, support hands-on production builds, create SOPs/work instructions, drive continuous improvement, and collaborate with design engineering to ensure manufacturability and quality.
