- Manage the preparation of these equipments integration and functional tests, this includes providing tools, GSE, and test setup needed for that, preparing the procedures and schedule with the design team
- work closely with the design team to define the best design that would ease the integration and test (Design to manufacture)
- Running the assembly and integration operations with a small team (the production rate is not huge at the moment but will grow with small serial production in the future)
- Running the functional tests of the components (internal TVAC, out-gazing, Pressure water tests, proof test, Cv characterisation etc)
- Integrate the thrusters or propulsion engines and all instrumentation on the test bench before hot firing
- Supporting the AIT operations / executions / tests
- Writing short reports after the tests
- Defining lessons learns and making continuous improvement

**What we would love to see from you**:
In the role of AIT Propulsion engineer ideally, you will have the following:

- Successful completion of an Engineering degree (Master or PhD) in mechanical science / propulsion or equivalent

- Willingness to contribute to build and support a new team
- Organised and rigorous
- Hands-on approach
- Inventive and problem solver
- Team spirit
