The posting

Here at The Exploration Company, we are building spacecraft for humanity.

Here at The Exploration Company we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable orbital space vehicle that aims to eventually be refuellable in orbit - and potentially fly humans in the long run.

The heart of a spacecraft lies in its engine, 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 are seeking a talented Combustion Engineer to join our Future Project division. As a key member of our engineering team, you will be responsible for contributing to designing, analyzing, and optimizing combustion devices for cryogenic rocket engines.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Provide support to global combustor fluidic system development through application of both theory and/or CFD.

- Drive and/or contribute to injector design and optimisation against combustor requirements and design intent using theory and/or CFD.

- Support definition of instrumentation for hot-fire testing and assist with post-test data interpretation and CFD/model correlation.

- Reduce and analyse hot-fire test data to derive performance and combustion-stability metrics, and maintain associated data processing tools

- Support design reviews with clear technical justification of analysis methods, assumptions, and margins.

WHAT WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE FROM YOU

- Minimum of a Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.

- 3+ years of relevant/equivalent experience in combustion, propulsion, or reacting-flow engineering.

- Solid foundation in bi-liquid rocket combustion processes.

- Strong background in reacting-flow CFD (e.g. ANSYS, OpenFOAM, Converge) using RANS and/or LES

- Strong scripting and data-analysis ability in Python or similar

- Exposure to liquid rocket injector CFD.

- Experience with combustion of cryogenic propellants.

- Familiarity with combustion instability, thermoacoustics, or uncertainty quantification is beneficial.

- Experience supporting or participating in hot-fire test campaigns is beneficial.

SKILLS AND BEHAVIOURS

- Structured and methodical approach to problem solving.

- Demonstrated rigour: checks reference calculations, documents assumptions, and treats a discrepancy between prediction and test as a problem to be solved rather than dismissed.

- Ability to work under technical uncertainty and iterate models as test data becomes available.

- Clear written and verbal communication of assumptions, methods, and conclusions.

- Comfort working in cross-disciplinary teams across thermo-mechanical, systems, and test engineering.

- Strong analytical rigor and attention to detail.

- Demonstrates behaviors consistent with The Exploration Company's core values of Mission, Vision, Integrity, Excellence, and Teamwork.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
