MATERIALS RESEARCH... COMPONENT DEVELOPMENT United Technology's research and development groups are deliberately small to allow idea interchange, di rect guidance from established technical leaders and recognition of individual performance. Interviews now are being conducted relative to the following positions:
SENIOR PLASTICS DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER Will work under the general direction of the Project Manager to develop new ablative com posites and evaluate commercially supplied elastomeric and plastic materials for applica tion to cases, nozzles and insulation. Requires a BS or MS degree and eight years experience in the broad aspects of fundamental and ap plied plastics and elastomeric materials tech nology. Must be creative and self-sufficient.
MASS RATIO: 0.94! To extend the capabilities of rocket engines, United Technology Corporation is investigating advanced scientific concepts and develop ing unique materials systems and fabrication techniques. An example of the results of this program : UTC has successfully fired, on first attempt, an 800-pound weight solid propellant motor with a mass ratio of 0.94 — a first in the industry. Are you qualified to join one of UTC's materials research and com ponent development groups and contribute to this growing effort? For complete information, contact Mr. C. F. Gieseler, Dept. 101, United Technology Corporation, Box 358, Sunnyvale, California. Right: Photomicrograph of extremely light insulating material developed under UTC program. 78
C& Ε Ν
HIGH TEMPERATURE MATERIALS ENGINEER Will assume project responsibility for develop ment of ceramic insulating materials and cor relate fundamental characteristics with practical applications by laboratory investigation of form ing and fabricating processes. Must possess BS or MS degree and five years experience in high temperature materials technology. Ability to do independent work required.
ADVANCED DESIGN ENGINEER To assume responsibility for advanced design and follow through on fabrication, testing and evaluation of casings and thrust-vector control devices utilizing company proprietary concepts. Must have general knowledge of motor internal ballistics. A degree in Mechanical or Aeronauti cal Engineering with five years experience in rocket motor development is required.
COMPONENT DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER For work on advanced design concepts for fila ment wound rocket components—casings, noz zles and interstage attachments. Must have demonstrated creativity and ability to assume sole project responsibility. A Mechanical or Aeronautical degree with five years motor cas ing or structures experience is required. All qualified applicants considered without regard to race, creed, color or national origin.
