Chemical Engineer (Solid Propellants)
About this role
Chemical Engineer
We are looking for a Chemical Engineer to develop and improve the propellants and laboratory capability behind our solid rocket propulsion systems. You will combine practical laboratory work with engineering judgement, working on formulation, preparation, characterisation, incoming-material inspection, and the scale-up of propellant solutions from laboratory experiments to propulsion hardware.
Responsibilities
- Develop, formulate, prepare, and improve solid propellants for different propulsion requirements.
- Plan and conduct laboratory experiments, characterise materials, and document results clearly.
- Work with propulsion engineers to connect formulation, processing, material properties, and motor performance.
- Support incoming-goods inspection, supplier engagement, and the evaluation of specialist chemicals and raw materials.
