About this position About Canada Rocket Company Canada Rocket Company is developing Canada's first medium-lift launch vehicle. We are a team of veterans from SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, ArianeGroup, Pangea Propulsion, Tesla, MDA, and more, bringing over a century of combined launch and space systems experience back to Canada. Our mission is to provide reliable, independent access to space for Canada and its allies in a rapidly expanding global market. Our approach is defined by pragmatic engineering: We utilize a single 725 kN engine that scales from light- to medium-lift via engine clustering We lean on easy, proven technologies to reach orbit faster, avoiding the pitfalls of complex or novel designs We test early and often, catching problems on the bench instead of at the pad Backed by over $20M in funding secured within our first four months, including the largest all-Canadian seed round in the sector and an $8.3M Department of National Defence grant, we are moving with the speed and institutional backing required to meet Canada’s orbital launch needs.
About the role We are looking for a Propulsion Thermal Analyst who is equally proficient in applying first order calculations as they are to running SINDA or developing their own analysis code. You will work across design, analysis, development, operation, and reuse scenarios in a fast-moving development environment. This is a highly technical role for someone who wants to be close to details, make consequential design decisions, and help establish the propulsion and stage fluids systems of an orbital launch vehicle program from the ground up. What You Will Do Perform thermal analysis of engine and stage fluid systems during static and flight operations, transients, and re-entry Build and run steady-state and transient thermal models using tools like Thermal Desktop/SINDA, ANSYS, or in-house codes to predict temperatures, heat fluxes, and thermal gradients Analyze regenerative, film, and radiation cooling schemes and size cooling channels to keep wall temperatures within material limits Couple thermal models with structural (thermal-stress), fluid (CFD), and combustion analyses to support integrated multidisciplinary assessments Characterize heat
