P08107: First Stage Solid Rocket

Staffing Requirements

We are currently searching for motivated and interested engineers to fill the roles below!

In addition to the criteria outlined below, all team members should be able to carry out tasks dependably and responsibly. Each team member's input is valuable and expected throughout the duration of the project.

**Staffing for 2007-2008**
Name	Discipline	Role / Skills
Dr. Jeffrey Kozak	ME	Faculty Guide Will work closely with the team on an on-going basis to facilitate success.
Dr. Dorin Patru	EE	Faculty Consultant Will provide electrical engineering support, specifically as related to integration with other METEOR teams
Tony Nimeh	ME	Project Manager & Support Engineer Will be responsible for managing and integrating the different specialist engineers, as well as coordinating team-wide design efforts to allow idea-sharing. Will be responsible for material ordering as well. Will also have input on initial specification development, as well as support any needed FE/CFD analysis.
Chris Wergin	ME	Systems Engineer Should have experience with control systems, particularly with actuation. Will be responsible for leading analysis of system (fluid flow/valve actuation/electrical load etc.). Will be expected to use software to produce accurate behavioral models of system components. Experience in Simulink a plus.
TBD Student	ME	Structural/Fabrication Engineer Should have experience with material mechanics, machine design, and a strong aptitude for machining/fabrication. Will be responsible for designing structural elements of test fixtures, as well as lead the integration with Flying Rocket Body. Will be expected to use CAD to create engineering drawings. Finite Element Experience a plus. (ANSYS)
TBD Student	ME	Fluidics Engineer Should have experience with fluid mechanics / transport phenomena, and a strong aptitude for high-speed flow analysis. Will be responsible for leading design and analysis of flow characteristics into and out of thrusters. Will also be expected to contribute significantly to "alternative methods" investigation if necessary. CFD Experience a plus (FLUENT/COMSOL)
Chad Eberhart	ME	Thermal Engineer Should have experience with heat transfer, and a strong aptitude for thermodynamic analysis. Will be responsible for leading design and analysis of fuel delivery system for thrusters. Involves analyzing thermal conductivity around combustion chamber, and its effect on the cold gas.
TBD Student	EE	Electrical Engineer Should have experience with sensor integration into systems. Will be responsible for designing and maintaining interface to Flying Rocket Body (and will collaborate with that team P08106). Will also be responsible for ensuring integration with Guidance System.
