Propulsion GSE Team Leader

Here at The Exploration Company, we are building innovative aerospace technologies that advance the future of space transportation.

We are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refueled in orbit, and which carries cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.

We are seeking an experienced and talented Propulsion Ground Support Equipment Team Leader, to lead the development, commissioning and operation of our engine test benches that we use to test our cryogenic engines and storable thrusters.

This is a key leadership role that requires technical expertise in liquid-propellant propulsion systems, a strong track record in managing complex engineering projects, and proven experience in leading and mentoring technical teams. The GSE Team Leader role for Liquid Propulsion Testing drives the end-to-end lifecycle – from initial concept and fluid/structural design to fabrication, commissioning, and operation – of critical ground infrastructure supporting liquid propellant rocket engine test campaigns.

As the GSE Team Leader, you will oversee the design, development and building of propulsion test facility. The primary objective is to develop and maintain robust, high-reliability test bench GSE that meets ambitious program cadences while
