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.

We want you as a talented **Propulsion System Engineer** to help us in our mission to develop the design, testing, verification, and validation of our propulsion system for Nyx Earth.

**Key responsibilities**:
In your capacity as Propulsion System Engineer, your role will be continuously evolving, but day to day your duties will include:

- Own development of new or existing products or systems and guiding team through the end-to-end development process.
- Transform system requirements into hardware concepts and trade implementation and architecture options.
- Achieve conceptual and detailed performance calculations, systems analyses, and designs.
- Collaborate with other engineering disciplines to address interface requirements and resolve integration challenges.
- Conduct risk assessments and develop mitigation strategies.
- Define and maintain an integrated development roadmap at system and subsystem levels.

**What we would love to see from you**:

- Minimum of a bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
- Over 3 years of related experience in storable propulsion system design, development, or testing.
- Practical systems engineering mindset and approach.
- Strong engineering fundamentals in fluid dynamics and thermodynamics.
- Experience in fluid analyses using classical hand-calculations, and simulation software (1D tools or CFD).
- Familiarity with industry standards (NASA or ECSS) applicable to space propulsion systems.

**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?
