Sr. Thermal & Propulsion Engineer
Company Overview
Fortastra designs and delivers resilient, high-performance spacecraft that safeguard critical orbital assets and ensure freedom of action in space. We integrate advanced autonomy, sensing, and control into systems engineered for reliability, speed, and scale.
Our culture values simplicity, accountability, and disciplined execution. We expect leaders to think systemically, act decisively, and take ownership of mission outcomes. Aggressive innovation. Disciplined execution. Strength among the stars.
Our Engineering Team
You will join Fortastra’s Engineering Division, working at the intersection of propulsion, thermal control, and spacecraft systems. The team is responsible for the design, integration, and flight readiness of core vehicle subsystems that directly determine mission reliability and on-orbit performance.
The Role
Fortastra is seeking a Sr. Thermal & Propulsion Engineer to own the design and implementation of our bipropellant propulsion hardware and Thermal Control Systems (TCS). This is a hardware-focused role: you will architect, design, and build propulsion and thermal-fluid systems including thrusters, feed systems (tanks, valves, lines), and thermal management hardware that must operate reliably in the space environment.
