Your space-enabled career begins here

Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer 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 endeavors.

We are seeking a talented Combustion Device Design Engineer to join our Propulsion Systems division. As a key member of our engineering team, you will be responsible for designing, analyzing, and optimizing combustion devices for cryogenic rocket engines.

Key responsibilities:

• Support the functional and hydraulic design of combustion devices

• Review subsystem requirements and carry out trades to define combustion device architecture

• Lead combustion devices components and assembly test campaigns (configuration definition, test preparation, execution and results analyses)

• Develop and update fluidic models based on literature review and/or experimental data

• Iterate subsystem designs using simulated and/or real-world test data

What we would love to see from you:

• Master’s degree or higher in Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline with a minimum of 3 years of related experience

• Hands-on experience developing hardware from concept to working prototypes

• Strong technical fundamentals in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and heat transfer

• Proficient with CAD (Siemens NX is an asset), or other design and analysis (FLUENT or OpenFOAM preferred) software

• A system engineering approach to problem-solving and design trades

• Experience writing software in languages like Python

• Familiar with cryogenic fluids is an asset

Why you should join us!

What makes us special here at The Exploration Company and why we think you will enjoy working here is:

• 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?

We'd love to hear from you if you wish to be a part of our journey. Please submit your CV now for immediate consideration and we will be in touch shortly.
