Volund is building propulsion for America’s next industrial revolution.
We design propulsion systems for cost, agility, and scale, combining advanced automation, precision manufacturing, and rapid iteration to move from prototype to production at unprecedented speed.

Intelligent manufacturing is engineering at scale.
At Volund, engineers operate across the full stack, from concept and simulation to process code and machine execution, ensuring that what is designed can be built and what is built can be scaled.

Volund is looking for engineers to develop small gas turbine engines. Our goal is to provide energy dense designs that deliver performance according to program inputs. There are multiple engineering positions available. We are looking for those who want to contribute to the team and take ownership in getting the job done. Specifically, for the Design Engineer role, we are looking for an experienced turbomachinery designer who will own the mechanical engine designs from clean sheet to production, support test rig designs and who will work closely with our manufacturing team. Experts in the field who can wear multiple hats in our dynamic development environment are desired.

  • Support engine development from cradle to grave.
  • Join a world class team to deliver propulsion at scale.
  • Creation of 3D geometry and entire rotating assemblies for engine components.
  • Optimize designs for thrust to weight ratio and for DFx.
  • Conduct structural analysis, fatigue modeling and life estimation as needed.
  • Iterate with other engineers and the manufacturing team to optimize systems.

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering.
  • Minimum 5-7 years of experience in gas turbine design, jet engine. development, or high-speed rotating machinery.
  • Experience in rotating assembly and static structure design.
  • Experience with the relevant materials, alloys, and manufacturing methods to produce turbomachinery designs.
  • Proficiency in CAD tools such as NX, SolidWorks, CREO, CATIA, Onshape, Fusion 360 or Polyworks. NX is prefered.
  • Familiarity and experience working in Teamcenter or Windchill is strongly desired.
  • Ability to work well in a fast-paced team environment is a must.
Preferred Experience:
  • Working specially with jet turbines, UAS and directly relevant programs.
  • Hands on experience with cold and hot gassing of experimental turbomachinery designs.
  • Experience with turbomachinery test rig development.
