Solid rocket motors are not throttlable: you light them, they burn in the predetermined pattern you packed the solid propellant into them for the exact flight profile you intended. Once lit, a solid rocket motor burns until empty. You would need to know the exact release height, local gravity and precise position you’re dropping your ‘Mech at to use such a pack, because the solid rocket motor would need its solid rocket fuel arranged internally to ether exact configuration, and any deviation from that flight pattern would cause it to fail.
