Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVincent San Miguel is a propulsion engineering manager with 11–12 years of hands-on experience designing and modeling propulsion and aerothermal systems for aerospace and defense platforms. He has progressed from academic modeling and rocket lab leadership at Penn State to senior engineering roles in aeroacoustics and exhaust systems, and now leads propulsion engineering at Northrop Grumman. Vincent combines deep computational modeling and finite-element expertise with practical product delivery on autonomous and strike platforms, bridging physics-based simulation and flight-worthy hardware. He has led multidisciplinary teams across aeroacoustics, thermal subsystems, and high-strain-rate materials, often tackling problems like rocket fin flutter and exhaust aerothermal integration. Based in Redondo Beach, he brings both research rigor and industry execution to complex propulsion challenges. A detail that sets him apart is his background in relativistic MHD and cold-spray bonding simulations, reflecting a curiosity that spans from fundamental physics to applied propulsion.
