As Fluid Systems Engineer you will own the development of the Propellant Management Unit (PMU) of ATHENA, the subsystem responsible for storing, conditioning and delivering ionic liquid propellant to the thruster. The PMU operates at low pressures, delivers flow rates in the μL/s range and handles an ionic liquid propellant that is conductive, hygroscopic, and sensitive to dissolved or trapped gas. The current PMU design is functional and flight-heritage is accumulating, but the design requires continued engineering development toward production readiness. Developing and qualifying the in-vacuum propellant filling setup, including outgassing protocols, contamination control and fill calibration procedures. Characterising PMU performance: flow delivery, pressure stability, gas management and fill accuracy. Writing and maintaining test procedures, assembly instructions and qualification documentation. Working closely with the thruster and power electronics teams during integrated testing and firing campaigns. You will work closely with colleagues responsible for thruster unit assembly and testing, and collaborate across the power electronics and systems teams during integrated campaigns. Your time will be split between the office and the cleanroom, with ownership of the full design-build-test cycle for the PMU and filling setup. Background in vacuum systems engineering, precision fluidics, analytical instrumentation, or a closely related field, demonstrated either through industry experience or research. Experience designing or assembling precision sealed systems (seals, fittings, polymer-to-metal interfaces). Proficiency in mechanical CAD (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or equivalent). Direct experience with ionic liquids or electrochemical systems. Experience with low-pressure pneumatic proof testing and pressure system compliance. A full-time contract of 40h per week. ~ Flexible working hours, allowing you to manage your schedule for better work-life balance. ~ Hybrid work model – work remotely up to 9 days per month. ~ Extra holidays – in addition to 23 vacation days , enjoy 6 additional days off during the Christmas period (from 24 December to 2 January, both included). ~ Private health insurance, fully covered by the company. ~ Learning & Development – €1000 per year budget for training, courses, and professional growth. ~ Culture and values interview: a chat with our People team to ensure we share the same mindset and values. xcskxlj Hay opciones de teletrabajo/trabajo desde casa disponibles para este puesto.
