Propulsion & High Energy Systems Engineer at Wardstone

We are looking for a Propulsion and High-Energy Systems Engineer to own the development of the impulse-generation systems that power our first product, Hailstorm. This includes gas generators, micro-thrusters, solid propulsion elements, high-pressure systems, fast-acting valves, detonation-assisted dispersal systems, and high-temperature/pressure fluid dynamics. You will design, analyze, prototype, test, and iterate propulsion and dispersal hardware capable of producing extreme accelerations, high mass flow, and low latency response times. You will work side-by-side with the founders, mechanical, electrical, and controls engineers. You will own the on-vehicle high energy systems from concept to demonstration High-Impulse System Design Design/select compact propulsion and impulse systems: gas generators, cold-gas thrusters, and solid micro-motors. Model combustion, mass flow, thrust curves, chamber pressures, and heat transfer. Evaluate tradeoffs between solid, liquid, or other propulsion architectures. High-Pressure & High-G Hardware Design pressure vessels, regulators, burst disks, check valves, fast-response actuators, and timing mechanisms. Simulate structural integrity under hi
