Team: Freyja Propulsion Team Member

Manager: Freyja Propulsion Team Coordinator

Work description

The goal of the propulsion team is to develop a hybrid engine to power the rocket for a potential participation in EuRoC ‘24. The development of this hybrid engine is divided into two main parts: combustion chamber and oxidizer tank. This role will be performing  across-the-board tasks supporting all subsystems, instead of focusing on a specific one. This equips the member with a good overview of the whole engine, and makes them invaluable for the system integration. This role is also deeply involved in the manufacturing of the various engine components.  

Responsibilities

• Perform across-the-board tasks within the propulsion team.
• Have a good general  overview of all the propulsion subsystems and their integration.
• Take an active part in the manufacturing of the various components.
• Attend weekly meetings.
• Active on Discord and any other communication channels used by the project.
• Write documentation.
• Attend tests and launch.

Competencies

Required

• Interest in system integration.
• General interest in hybrid rocket propulsion systems.
• Interest in manufacturing.
• Willingness to put in the work: ~10 hours per week.

Meriting

• Metalworking experience, i.e. working with mill, lathe, CNC, welding.
  
• Previous experience with any of the hybrid rocket engine subsystems:
• • Combustion Chamber
  • Pressurization and Pressure Relief
  • Oxidizer Fuel Injection

Manager: Freyja Operations Team Coordinator

Work description

The operations team is responsible for any non-technical aspect of the EuRoC team, including but not limited to budget and accounting, PR activities, sponsors and other external communication, logistics before and during the competition.

Operations team members will assist in the work of the operations team, contribute with ideas, and even take lead in specific tasks as assigned by the responsibles.

Responsibilities

Team: Mjollnir Propulsion Team Member

Manager: Mjollnir Propulsion Team Manager

Work description

The propulsion team member of the Mjollnir propulsion team is expected to learn how the propulsion system of the Sindri engine works but not in any detail. The role holder is part of the propulsion team as a general member and is therefore not responsible for any of the parts or subsystems in particular but should however be available to assist another member of the team in discussions and wherever there may be a need for more people in that specific period of time.

This role holder may, after discussing with the team manager, choose to adopt a more specific role (i.e Thrust chamber responsible or CAD-engineer) within the team if needed and suitable. 

Responsibilities

• Attending weekly meetings.
• Be willing to learn and assist the propulsion team with diverse tasks related to the engine.
• Be familiar with the Sindri engine propulsion system.

Competencies

Required

• Have an interest in rocket propulsion.
• Good communication skills in english.

Meriting

• Understand how a hybrid rocket engine works.
• Previous experience using Fusion360 or similar programs.
• Previous experience within 3D-printing.
• Previous experience with manufacturing of metal components.
