Imagine joining a propulsion team where your work directly shapes the certification and qualification of solid rocket motors for advanced aerospace applications. You will take ownership of the design and technical certification process for propulsion systems, ensuring full compliance with MIL and STANAG requirements. Work at the intersection of design, analysis, and testing, driving the qualification of rocket motors from concept through certification. This role combines design, data analysis, and standards interpretations.
Tasks
- Perform design, analysis, and development of rocket motor and pyrotechnic articles.
- Conduct in-depth data and performance analysis with focus on iterative design and improvement.
- Support the design for qualification and certification of rocket motors in accordance with MIL-STD and STANAG standards.
- Interpret certification requirements and translate them into engineering and test specifications.
- Prepare technical reports, qualification matrices, and compliance documentation in line with military and aerospace standards.
- Define and execute qualification and verification test plans, including functional, vibration, thermal, and pressure testing.
- Perform risk analysis such as FMEA/FMECA.
- Work closely with design engineers on motor hardware design, insulation, and igniter integration to ensure certifiability from the start.
- Support failure investigations, root cause analyses, and updates to design or test procedures to maintain compliance.
- Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to align design validation and certification timelines.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Propulsion Engineering.
- 3–5 years of experience in rocket motor design and certification.
- In-depth knowledge of design for MIL-STD, STANAG, or equivalent aerospace qualification standards.
- Previous experience qualifying rocket motors or ignition safe and arm devices according to NATO standards.
- In-depth knowledge on risk analysis, FMEA or similar.
- Hands-on experience with static firing tests, propellant handling, or motor integration.
- Familiarity with pressure vessel design and combustion analysis is a plus.
- Strong analytical and documentation skills.
- Able to interpret data, write clear test reports, and maintain compliance records.
- Comfortable working across disciplines: mechanical, thermal, materials, and systems engineering.
- Willingness to travel to different Destinus sites in Switzerland (max. 20%).
- Fluency in English.
Benefits
- Work on cutting-edge projects that redefine aerospace.
- Collaborate with top engineers from all over the world.
