On December 17, the Internet exposed a recruitment information map published by Xiaopeng Motors on relevant recruitment websites. This picture shows that the position to be recruited by Xiaopeng Automobile this time is a bit special, it is a "senior ballistic design engineer". Does this already show that Xiaopeng really wants to enter the private rocket field? This is possible.
Xiaopeng's recruitment information shows that the position requires relevant candidates to have a master's degree or above, and to graduate from aircraft design and ballistic design related majors; proficient in flight mechanics, orbital mechanics, missile flight mechanics and other knowledge; proficient in C/C++ programming language, simulation software, ballistic power modeling, trajectory optimization algorithms, etc.; with more than 3 years of work experience in related positions.
After being recruited, the senior ballistic design engineer will be responsible for the overall program design of the small rocket, the numerical calculation of ballistic performance, the landing area and safety analysis of the small rocket, and the coordination of flight test and test data analysis, and put forward optimization suggestions.
In the private rocket space, Musk's SpaceX is currently in the lead, and it is developing reusable space rockets. Some experts believe that once this rocket research is successful, it may trigger the next scientific and technological revolution.
