New This Week
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.
Our Future Projects unit is dedicated to expanding and complementing these capabilities by conceptualizing and pre-developing new technologies, products and programs.
We want you as a talented systems engineer to help us in our mission by conceptualizing new technologies and products, characterizing stakeholders and use cases, translating these needs into system architectures, breaking them down into functional, specification and product trees, define and manage requirements and interfaces, and support technical trade-offs with a cross-functional engineering team. You will be part of the Future Projects Team working on the development of a robotic orbital station aiming at supporting the In Space Operations and Services eco-system, unlocking the resupply of servicers in satellites parts and propellant, and performing complexe robotic-assisted in-orbit experiments.
Key Responsibilities
Duties In your capacity as a System Engineer, your role will be continuously evolving, but day to day your duties will include:
