As part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will serve as the integrator of the thermal and fluid systems of the MK1 Lunar Lander. In your role as MK1 Vehicle Thermal and Fluids Integrator on the Vehicle Systems Engineering team, you will be responsible for defining and managing the integrated thermal and fluid system requirements, interfaces, design parameters, and test scope across the full vehicle lifecycle from design through verification and validation. Your expertise and leadership will be critical to ensuring the thermal and fluid systems of the lander are properly defined, integrated, tested, and certified for mission success.
Responsibilities:
Own and maintain integrated vehicle-level thermal and fluid system requirements and lead their verification and validation
Define and manage integrated thermal and fluid interface control documents (ICD) across vehicle subsystems
Own and maintain the vehicle leak budget, ensuring all contributions are tracked, dispositioned, and within acceptable limits
Serve as the vehicle level component temperature limits owner, ensuring all hardware operates within defined thermal margins across all mission phases and has been tested to the necessary levels
Define and manage design parameters related to integrated thermal and fluid systems
Define proof and leak test scope and success criteria for pressurized fluid systems across the vehicle
Own or support vehicle test scope for integrated vehicle tests involving thermal and fluid systems, including integrated vehicle thermal vacuum testing, tanking tests, and proof and leak tests
Define test objectives and success criteria in test matrices, traced to requirements, design parameters, budgets, and interfaces
Review test procedures involving pressurized cryogenic and non-cryogenic fluid systems and support test execution
Review and interpret test data to assess performance and health at both the system and component level, and to anchor and validate analytical models
Support test and operation efforts by investigating root cause and corrective actions and dispositioning non-conformances and event reports related to thermal and fluid systems
Collaborate with internal stakeholders to define requirements, dependencies, and resource needs associated with delivering integrated thermal and fluid systems and executing associated testing
