Bordeaux, France The Exploration Company Temps plein
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 are dedicated to developing our own cutting-edge Propulsion Systems ensuring the highest level of efficiency and reliability in our space endeavours.

We are seeking a talented Ignition System Design Engineer to join our Propulsion Systems division. As a key member of our engineering team, you will be responsible for the design and development of the ignition systems for a high-thrust Liquid Rocket Engine.

Key responsibilities:
  • Lead trade-offs regarding the architecture of ignition systems for a high-thrust Liquid Rocket Engine
  • Lead the design of the selected systems, including the maturation needs of these components
  • Ensure that detailed hydraulic and combustion analyses are performed, reviewed and meet the required performance and reliability targets
  • Closely cooperate with the other team members to successfully and collaboratively design and manufacture ignition systems
  • Participate to the components and assembly test campaigns (configuration definition, test preparation, execution and results analyses)
  • Iterate on the design of the ignition systems using simulated and real-world test data
  • Prepare technical documentation and contribute to reviews
  • Interact with suppliers and manufacturers but also with customers as a project key contributor

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, combustion dynamics, thermodynamics and heat transfer
  • Proficient with CAD software (Siemens NX is an asset)
  • Experience with CFD software (ANSYS FLUENT is an asset)
  • A system engineering approach to problem-solving and design trades
  • Experience writing software in languages like Python
  • Experience with additive manufacturing 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.
