The posting

Here at The Exploration Company, we are building innovative aerospace technologies that advance the future of space transportation.

We are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit, and which carries cargo – and potentially humans in the long run. We are also developing different types of propulsion systems to power our future vehicles and missions. As a talented Propulsion Test Engineer, you will be responsible for the test and analysis of our future propulsion systems.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

In your capacity as a Propulsion Test Engineer, your role will be continuously evolving, but day to day your duties will include:

- Prepare and execute tests at the engine and component level to evaluate hardware performance.

- Developing test plans, test objectives and schedules consistent with requirements and timelines; leading daily test operations and generating test reports.

- Autonomously leading risk assessment analyses and defining mitigation actions to ensure personnel and hardware safety during all test campaigns.

- Interpreting P&IDs and generating test sequences, balancing the risk, needs of the test and the limits of the test bench and test article.

- Working hand in hand with development engineers, test bench team, AIT team and external partners to support all test operations on internal and external test facilities.

- Supporting rapid test data processing with component development engineers to guide the remainder of the test campaign and plan future test campaigns.

- Defining, developing and updating test procedures and guidelines to improve test operations.

- Preparing technical documentation, including detailed procedures, test reports, design reviews, and performance analyses.

WHAT WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE FROM YOU:

- Bachelor's, master's or PhD in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field (master's and above preferred).

  • 3–5 years of experience in propulsion testing or related fields.
  • Proficiency in propulsion chemistry, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics.
  • Proven hands-on experience with engine testing or equivalent.
  • Background in cryogenic propulsion will be a big plus.

- Experience with commonly used simulation tools in propulsion testing (e.g., CEA).

- Proficiency in python programming language is a plus.

- Exposure to CAD Software (Siemens NX, CATIA, or similar) and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing.

- Strong problem-solving and analytical abilities.

- Excellent communication and leadership skills, with the ability to convey complex concepts to diverse audiences.

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.
