Role summary
Here at The organization Company, we are building spacecrafts for humanity.
We are also developing advanced propulsion capabilities to support our reusable spacecraft programs. We are building a dedicated test capability for storable, hypergolic propulsion systems in the 100–800 N class.
Responsibilities
- Supporting development of a vacuum hot fire test facility which will be used to develop and qualify orbital thrusters - in tandem with the main designer/team leader
- Translate propulsion test needs into facility, utilities, and ground support equipment requirements
- Define instrumentation, data acquisition, and control systems for safe hot-fire testing.
- Interface effectively with internal engineering teams, customers, and external partners.
- Manage suppliers and manufacturing activities; support in integration and verification.
- Support planning and execute commissioning, acceptance testing, and entry-into-service activities.
- Support hazard analyses (, HAZOP, risk assessments) and implement mitigation measures.
- Develop procedures for handling, testing, maintenance, and emergency response.
- Integration of thruster into test bench
- Support operations of test facility and perform hot fire, cold flows, decontamination and maintenance activities
- Perform maintenance activities of the test facility
- Degree in aerospace, propulsion system, mechanical, chemical engineering, or a related discipline.
- 2+ years of hands-on experience with propulsion test benches, preferably with storable/legacy propellants.
- Strong background in fluid systems, pressurized systems, and ground support equipment.
- Knowledge of safety-critical systems, industrial automation, and test operations.
- Excellent communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- We’re Agile - we make decisions fast whilst keeping our goals and systems in mind
- We’re Open and Collaborative - we are transparent about risks and obstacles, so that we can cooperate to overcome them
- We have a lot of Fun - we refuel our energy knowing we are democratising space. It’s a wonderful and rare opportunity, are YOU up for the challenge?
