Combustion Devices Development Engineer

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.

The heart of a spacecraft lies in its engine, and that's why we, at The Exploration Company, are dedicated to developing our own cutting-edge Propulsion Systems ensuring the highest level of efficiency and reliability in our space endeavours.

We are seeking a talented Combustion Devices Development Engineer to join our Future Project division in the development of the Storm Engine. As a key member of our engineering team, you will be responsible for designing, analyzing, and optimizing combustion devices for cryogenic rocket engines.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Carry-out the functional and hydraulic design of combustion devices

- Review subsystems requirements and carrying out trades to define combustion devices architecture

- Supervision of external subcontractors

- Organize and support combustion devices component test campaigns (configuration definition, test preparation, execution and results analyses)

- Develop and update fluidic models based on literature review and/or experimental data

- Iterate subsystem designs using simulated and/or real-world test data

WHAT WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE FROM YOU

- Masters/bachelors with honours or higher in Aerospace Engineering, or a related and applicable technical discipline

- Hands-on experience developing hardware from concept to working hardware

- Strong technical fundamentals in design, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer

- Proficient with CAD (Siemens NX is an asset), and/or other CAE design

- Experience with analysis software (FLUENT or OpenFOAM preferred)

- A methodical approach to problem-solving and design trades

- Experience writing software/scripts in languages such as Python

- Familiar with cryogenic fluids is a strong asset
