Who We're Looking For

Quantum Space is redefining mobility and maneuverability in space. Our high-mobility spacecraft platforms support national security, civil, and commercial missions with unmatched flexibility and propulsion capability. We build fast and iterate quickly.

We are seeking a Technician II – Propulsion to support the assembly, integration, testing, and fueling of spacecraft propulsion systems and components. This role is ideal for a technician with several years of experience in spacecraft, aerospace, automotive, or related technical industries who can independently execute propulsion AI&T activities while supporting mission-critical spacecraft development and flight operations.

You will work closely with propulsion, mechanical, systems, manufacturing, and test engineering teams to support development and flight spacecraft programs. This is a hands-on role focused on execution, troubleshooting, hardware integration, and safe propulsion operations.

Where You'll Make an Impact

• Perform assembly, integration, and test (AI&T) activities on development and flight spacecraft propulsion systems and components
• Perform hazardous spacecraft fueling and propellant handling operations in accordance with approved procedures and safety requirements
• Contribute to the design of spacecraft propulsion systems and components by providing feedback on manufacturability, integration, and testability.
• Troubleshoot propulsion hardware and test issues and provide feedback to engineering teams
• Support spacecraft integration and mission readiness activities
• Operate within fast-paced development environments supporting high-reliability spacecraft systems

What It Takes

• High school diploma or GED
• 3+ years of relevant experience performing assembly, integration, and test activities in the spacecraft, aerospace, automotive, or related technical industries
• Demonstrated ability to own completion of tasks with minimal oversight
• Demonstrated ability to independently troubleshoot

Nice-to-Have Experience

• Demonstrated ability to perform AI&T and fueling tasks for spacecraft propulsion systems
• Demonstrated ability to perform semi-automated tube welding
• Demonstrated ability to review, interpret, and execute AI&T procedures
• Demonstrated experience performing spacecraft fueling operations
• Demonstrated experience performing leak checks, pressure testing, and fluid system verification
• Demonstrated ability to machine aerospace-grade components using CNC equipment
• Demonstrated experience creating and interpreting CAD models and engineering drawings

What You'll Get

Ownership – Contribute directly to the development and operation of mission-critical spacecraft propulsion systems
Innovation – Support advanced propulsion technologies enabling next-generation spacecraft mobility
Impact – Help deliver reliable propulsion systems supporting national security, civil, and commercial missions
Growth – Join a cross-functional engineering team operating at the center of spacecraft development, integration, and mission execution
Compensation – Competitive salary range: $50,000 - $100,000, equity, and comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, generous leave, HSA, 401(k) matching, and equity participation
