• B.E./ https://jobeax.com/link/2DENLGgQM7whDhaE or M.E./ https://jobeax.com/link/s1WvHFV9ITSwCkyS in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.  
  

• 0–1 year of experience in propulsion systems , experimental engineering, or related fields.  
  

• Candidates with relevant academic projects, internships, or hands-on laboratory experience are encouraged to apply.  
  

Responsibilities:

• Assist in the research, design, and development of monopropellant propulsion systems and associated components such as injectors, catalyst beds, feed systems, valves, and thrusters.  
  

• Support component development, experimentation, testing, and design iterations under the guidance of senior engineers.  
  

• Conduct literature reviews and support experimental studies related to propellant decomposition, catalysis, thermal behaviour, and propulsion performance.  
  

• Assist in cold-flow, catalyst/decomposition, thermal, and hot-fire testing.  
  

• Support prototype assembly, integration, checkout, and testing of propulsion hardware.  
  

• Assist with instrumentation setup, sensor integration, calibration, data acquisition, and test execution.  
  

• Perform basic post-processing and analysis of experimental data.  
  

• Support troubleshooting of hardware and test-system anomalies.  
  

• Assist in propulsion test-stand development, hardware fabrication, inspection, and integration.  
  

• Prepare and maintain test procedures, checklists, test reports, and technical documentation.  
  

• Follow applicable laboratory, propellant handling, and pressure-system safety procedures.  
  

Requirements

• Sound understanding of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, gas dynamics, and rocket propulsion fundamentals.  
  

• Basic understanding of monopropellant propulsion, injectors, catalyst beds, and fluid systems.  
  

• Familiarity with propellant decomposition and catalytic processes.  
  

• Basic understanding of engine plumbing and P&ID interpretation.  
  

• Familiarity with CAD (SolidWorks) and engineering calculations.  
  

• Ability to work in laboratory and hands-on hardware testing environments.  
  

• Good analytical and problem-solving skills with a willingness to learn through experimentation and troubleshooting.  
  

• Good technical documentation and communication skills.  
  

• Ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary engineering team.  
  

Preferred Skills  

• Academic or project experience with monopropellants, catalyst systems, or propulsion testing.  
  

• Basic understanding of CFD and engineering simulation tools.  
  

• Familiarity with LabVIEW or equivalent DAQ/test software.  
  

• Basic working knowledge of Python or MATLAB for data post-processing and analysis.  
  

• Exposure to thrust measurement, pressure/temperature instrumentation, and propulsion test systems.  
  

• Knowledge of reaction kinetics, catalytic decomposition, or thermal analysis.
