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.

We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced Electrical Engineer to play a key role in designing, developing, and overseeing the deployment of electrical systems for our various propulsion test benches.

This is a dynamic, hands-on engineering position that combines systems-level thinking with practical implementation, demanding both deep technical expertise and the ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams.

Key responsibilities:

• Lead the design and development of electrical systems and architecture for propulsion test benches, including power distribution, signal conditioning, and control systems.

• Specify and review electrical schematics, panel layouts, and wiring diagrams to ensure system integrity and compliance with industry standards.

• Contribute to the fabrication and testing of electrical cabinets and harnesses.

• Collaborate with the team to integrate sensors, actuators, power supplies, and DAQ systems.

• Conduct system-level troubleshooting and debugging, using advanced diagnostic tools (e.g., oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs).

• Perform root cause analysis and implement engineering solutions to improve system robustness and reliability.

• Provide technical leadership during assembly, commissioning, and test operations.

• Document all designs, test results, and configuration changes; contribute to standard operating procedures and risk assessments.

• Ensure all electrical systems comply with safety and regulatory standards.

What we would love to see from you:

• Minimum of a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related technical field.

• Over 3 years of experience in electrical engineering, in an aerospace propulsion testing environment.

• Strong understanding of electrical design principles, system integration, and instrumentation.

• Proven experience working with wire harness design, routing, and integration in complex systems.

• Hands-on experience with cabling and harness manufacturing

• Proficiency in using common electrical test equipment and CAD tools (e.g., EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical).

• Knowledge of electrical standards and best practices for high-reliability applications

• Familiarity with test bench operations would be a plus

• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, evolving environment with a hands-on approach.

• Fluency in English, both written and verbal.

• A passion for space exploration and a mindset focused on innovation, precision, and safety.
