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 propulsion system, and that's why we, at The Exploration Company, are dedicated to developing our cutting-edge Propulsion Systems ensuring the highest level of efficiency and reliability in our space endeavours.
As a Future Projects Propulsion Engineer, your responsibilities will include:
Developing functional performance models of propulsive systems using simulation frameworks such as Ecosim and codes in Python.Analysing, documenting, and presenting complex analysis results to estimate key parameters of a propulsion system (e.g., mass budgets, pressure losses, flow rates, thruster performance).Contributing to the evaluation and preliminary optimization of various spacecraft concepts in terms of performance, operation, cost and reliability/safety.Guiding the technology roadmaps of the company by identifying the technological locks that need to be overcome in relation to these concepts.Exploiting functional performance models to lead architecture trade studies, sensitivity analyses, and risk assessments.Collaborating closely with system engineers and other advanced concepts engineers to ensure compliance of the propulsion architecture with the spacecraft requirements and mission characteristics.What we would love to see from you:Minimum of a master's degree in Aerospace Engineering or a related field.Strong knowledge of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and propulsion systems.Proven experience working on functional propulsion modelling and analysis.Proficiency in engineering software tools for simulation and modelling (e.g., Ecosim, Amesim).Proficiency in the Python programming language.Experience with storable and or cryogenic liquid bipropellant propulsion systems is a plus.Fluency in English.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.
