About the Team
The Stage Fluids team designs and delivers the propellant, pressurant, pneumatics, and other fluid systems that turn structures into functioning rockets. The team has full ownership across design, production, test, and flight, maintaining a holistic view of Terran R, focused not on isolated parts but integrated functionality. Working on-site at the factory means you’re never far from the hardware, enabling rapid iteration and tight feedback loops across design and manufacturing. You won’t just be handed requirements: you’ll be expected to ask the right questions, collaborate with partners across the company, and ultimately find the best solutions for Terran R.

Here are some examples of projects you could be working on:
- Partnering with third-party vendors in the design and analysis of gas storage COPVs
- Working with other thermo-fluid engineers on vehicle gas system design and operation
- Establishing test campaigns for the qualification and acceptance of COPVs
- Performing tests and reviewing data
- Supporting integration COPVs on the rocket
- Selecting, vetting, and managing vendors
- Performing trade studies to improve gas storage solutions for the near future vehicles
- Assessing long-term COPV design and manufacturing plans
