Vacuum Hotfire Test Stand Engineer

Here at The Exploration Company, we are building spacecrafts for humanity.

We are also developing advanced propulsion capabilities to support our reusable spacecraft programs. We are building a dedicated test capability for storable, hypergolic propulsion systems in the 100–800 N class.

As the Vacuum Hotfire Test Stand Engineer, you will be part of the team that develops the propulsion test facility for legacy propellants (e.g., MON-class oxidizers and MMH-type fuels), from requirements definition through commissioning and operating the test facility. You will be part of the team that develops, commissions and operates the test facility.

Key Responsibilities / Tasks

Design of Test Facility

• Supporting development of a vacuum hot fire test facility which will be used to develop and qualify orbital thrusters - in tandem with the main designer/team leader

• Translate propulsion test needs into facility, utilities, and ground support equipment requirements

• Define instrumentation, data acquisition, and control systems for safe hot-fire testing.

• Interface effectively with internal engineering teams, customers
