Launcher Propulsion Engineer

Here at The Exploration Company, we are building innovative aerospace technologies that advance the future of space transportation. 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 propulsion system engineer to help us conceptualize new launch and space trasportation solutions, to mature critical technologies and drive the projects towards implementation stage.

You will be part of the Launch Systems Team in the Future Programs Department, and will report to the Lead Launcher Programs.

Key Responsibilities

In your capacity as a Future Projects Propulsion System Engineer, your role will be continuously evolving, but day to day your duties will include: Define propulsion system architectures for future projects within the TEC launcher programs, including, but not limited: Perform trade-offs and technical investigations at system and subsystem level.

Define system-level requirements and ensure flow down and consistency of lower-level requirements. Define concept of operations and operational procedures for propulsion systems Define and maintain the functional and product breakdown of the system.

Create and maintain the technical budgets (mass, propellant, inert gas, power, etc.) Contribute to the development, V&V and industrialization plan.

Contribute to the MAIT concept trade-offs Contribute to the co-engineering sessions between the engineering team and potential external partners (setup the agenda, coordinate priorities, take decisions, take the MoM, track the actions).

Own propulsion-specific future projects, work packages and bids within the launcher programs Support the commercial and program teams in writing and negotiating proposals for Future Projects.

Provide propulsion system related project work Coordinate datapack definition and delivery, RIDs management and day-to-day work with subcontractors What we would love to
