Senior Aerothermal Engineer at Reditus Space

Job Description Reditus space is building the next-generation infrastructure to provide sustainable and scalable access to microgravity. We are developing reusable free-flyer reentry vehicles to enable routine, dependable, and high cadence return from orbit, unlocking new commercial, scientific, national security, and public health capabilities. The aerothermal team is responsible for predicting the aerodynamics and aerothermal environments our flight vehicles experience during all phases of their missions. Aerothermal engineers use engineering models, simulation, and direct flight testing in order to provide the most accurate predictions in iterative development of evermore reliable and performant vehicle architectures. The team works closely with the GNC (guidance, navigation, and control) team in order to enable them to safely land and recover our vehicles once their mission is accomplished. Moreover the team supports engineers responsible for vehicle structures, avionics, and propulsion during their design efforts. Aerodynamics engineers are expected to have a clear understanding of the flow fields experienced by our vehicles through the various flight regimes, from subsonic th
