Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.
The heart of a spacecraft lies in its propulsion system, and that's why we, at The Exploration Company, are dedicated to developing our own cutting-edge Propulsion Systems ensuring the highest level of efficiency and reliability in our space endeavours.
We want you as a talented Propulsion Development Engineer to help us in our mission by supporting in the development, manufacturing and testing of the Nyx Earth Propulsion systems. In order to qualify the propulsion systems a multitude of tests will be required spanning from functional tests, cold flows to system level hotfires.
This testing will allow for the verification and validation of all the propulsion subsystems. You will be designing test rigs to validate flight design, assembling and lastly performing the testing on the test rigs to provide critical data needed to validate simulation models.
You will report to the Propulsion Development Models Principal Engineer.
Key responsibilities:
In your capacity as a Propulsion Development Engineer, you will be responsible for the on-time and on-cost design, development and testing activities linked to the propulsion sub-systems.
Your role will be continuously evolving, but day-to-day responsibilities will include:
