Propulsion Development Engineer

Here at The Exploration Company, we are building spacecraft for humanity. 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: During the Design Phase; Define and maintain the test objectives and requirements Establish and justify, together with the pressure and fluidic system engineers, the architecture and the design (P&ID, PBS, interfaces) of the models and test rigs Design of thruster test rigs Define and select components, parts and sensors and manage their procurement Elaborate and maintain the schedule and cost, ensuring on-time and on-cost of the pressure syst
