About the role

Firehawk Aerospace in Addison, TX, seeks a Ballistician to lead solid rocket motor grain geometry and nozzle design. You will work with design, thermal-structural, R&D, and manufacturing teams to translate thrust requirements into detailed, validated grain shapes using in-house scripts, ANSYS Fluent, and CFD tools. Ideal candidates have 7+ years in internal ballistics, strong modeling and reporting skills, and a passion for propulsion innovation within a defense-forward environment.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
