Vacuum Thruster Test Bench Team Leader

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. In addition, we are 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 a Thruster Test Bench Team Leader, you will lead the end-to-end development of a 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 manage the team that develops, commissions and operates the test facility. This position requires technical excellence and expertise as well as team management skills.
