Here at The Exploration Company, we are building spacecrafts for humanity.
We are also developing advanced propulsion capabilities to support our reusable spacecraft programs.
We are building a dedicated test capability for storable, hypergolic propulsion systems in the 100–800 N class.
As the Vacuum Hotfire Test Stand Engineer, you will be part of the team that develops the propulsion test facility for legacy propellants (e.
, MON-class oxidizers and MMH-type fuels), from.
