Electric Propulsion Engineer - Space Industry
We are seeking an Electric Propulsion Engineer to support our client in the development of an Air-Breathing Electric Propulsion (ABEP) system, critical for satellite operations at Ultra Low Earth Orbit. You will be responsible for calculating, designing, testing, and optimizing this plasma propulsion system within dedicated vacuum facilities.
Key Responsibilities:
- Oversee the ABEP system and manage the full testing process.
- Rapidly iterate new designs to ensure successful delivery of a demonstration mission.
- Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and control engineers to test and refine the ion propulsion system, ensuring seamless operation.
- Assemble test hardware and electronics and operate vacuum facilities.
- Perform electric propulsion tests and analyze performance data.
Fundamental Requirements:
- 3+ years of experience in electric propulsion (including relevant PhD experience).
- Strong knowledge of spacecraft electric propulsion systems, such as RF Thrusters, Hall Effect Thrusters, and Gridded Ion Propulsion.
- Hands-on experience with electric propulsion testing, ideally involving RF generators, high-voltage power supplies, and thrust balance.
- Experience working with vacuum systems (pumps, gauges, valves), power supplies, fluidic management systems, and data acquisition systems.
- Solid understanding of plasma physics, modeling, diagnostics, and ionization processes.
Why Join?
- Innovative Space Technology: Be part of a mission that will launch groundbreaking technology into space next year, advancing satellite operations in ultra-low Earth orbits.
- Ownership and Impact: Engage in the complete lifecycle of satellite technology, addressing challenges in preparing propulsion systems for space.
- Competitive Compensation: Our client offers competitive salaries and equity options, enabling you to share in the success of the pioneering technology you help build.
