Propulsion Test Engineer

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.
