Physical Sciences Inc., an Employee-Owned company, located just north of Boston in Andover, seeks an engineer with a strong background in research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) of airbreathing propulsion, rocket propulsion, and combustion systems. This position has an emphasis on rotating detonation engine development.
Applicants for this position should have experience researching new technologies for advanced combustion systems and thermodynamic systems. This job opening is in the field of propulsion, with projects for airbreathing combustors, rotating detonation engines, rotating detonation rocket engines, gas generators, and igniters. These projects include challenges in additively manufactured materials, novel flow geometries, injectors, and chamber/nozzle cooling systems. Work will be performed primarily at PSI’s propulsion and energetics testing facility in Epping, NH, and occasionally at PSI’s headquarters in Andover, MA.
The individual will play a key role in growing a diverse portfolio of innovative technologies funded by the DoD and NASA. Candidates are expected to contribute to existing programs and should be highly motivated to independently pursue opportunities to develop their own research activities in allied areas. PSI is making investments in new propulsion and energetics facilities, and we are searching for talented engineers to be a part of this growth.
