About the role

Unfortunately, we cannot consider applicants on temporary work visas (such as H-1B, TN, O-1, etc.) for this role.

you will define the propulsion test requirements, specify the test system and ground support equipment needed to execute them, oversee test execution at supplier and system level, and own the analysis and acceptance of the test results.
You will own the EOR/station-keeping delta-V strategy and the propulsion analyses that support it, and you will carry that ownership through to orbit - assessing in-orbit propulsion performance against predictions and closing the loop back to the models.
This is a named end-to-end performance role on the critical path to releasing procurement and closing the design.
Get in on the ground floor as an early member of our Bus & Electronics team as a Propulsion Engineering Lead developing a revolutionary satellite communications system.
As Propulsion Engineering Lead you are accountable for the end-to-end performance of the propulsion subsystem - from architecture through test to demonstrated in-orbit results.
