WE RECRUIT DREAMERS Open Position: Recovery Systems Engineer (Parachutes & Descent Architecture) — Turin, Italy

(Note: We are an early-stage deep-tech startup. This is currently an unpaid, experience-building role designed for those who want to build real flight hardware from the ground up).

A successful launch is only half the mission; bringing the vehicle back safely is the ultimate test. As our Hermes suborbital vehicle falls back to Earth, we need a dedicated engineer to command its safe return.

IMF.Rockets is looking for a passionate Recovery Systems Engineer to join our core team in Turin. You will take complete ownership of designing the parachute deployment mechanisms, managing ejection kinetics, and developing the descent architecture that will safely recover our flight hardware.

- Descent Architecture: Designing and integrating the complete dual-deployment parachute system (drogue and main chutes).
- Ejection Mechanics: Managing the structural loads, ejection kinetics, and thermal protection for the recovery bay.
- Simulation & Modeling: Running simulations to predict descent trajectories, wind drift, and impact velocities (utilizing MATLAB/Simulink or similar).
- Systems Integration: Working closely with the avionics and software teams to ensure ejection events trigger flawlessly based on live flight telemetry.
- Hardware Prototyping:



Transitioning from digital CAD models to physically testing ejection systems and parachute deployments in the lab and field.

Who We Are Looking For: You do not need decades of experience; you just need to be passionate, relentlessly curious, and ready to learn fast. We value grit, determination, and a hands‑on mindset far above a perfect resume.

Ideal Profile:

- Student or recent graduate in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering.
- Based in Turin and able to work physically in our lab.
- Proficient with 3D CAD tools (SolidWorks/Fusion 360) and comfortable with basic mathematical modeling (MATLAB).
- A hands‑on builder who loves testing, iterating, and analyzing raw data.
- Someone who understands that every failure on the test stand is simply data for the next success.
- Work on real flight hardware, not theoretical textbook problems.
- Gain unparalleled, hands‑on experience in rocketry and recovery kinetics.
- Be part of a young, ambitious team actively shaping the future of accessible spaceflight.
- Contribute to a vehicle that will actually fly to the edge of space.

Our Values:

- Perseverance
- Learning by doing
- Safety and responsibility
- Challenging what’s known and pushing beyond limits
