Your Mission

As a Propulsion Test Development Engineer, you will join the Propulsion Test Development Team which is an essential part of the Launch System Department and acts as an internal engineering service provider to design and procure ground infrastructure. The goal of safe, reliable and rapid testing and space launch operations can only be achieved with support from a wide range of rigorously designed and developed ground infrastructure. This includes ground equipment, such as test stands for research & development, qualification and acceptance testing of propulsion systems and rocket stages, as well as entire launchpads. Close cooperation with other departments such as Propulsion Technology and Launch Vehicle is necessary since their requirements dictate the design of the ground support equipment.

• Draft PFDs and P&IDs for your designed systems;
• Write technical documentation and contribute to reviews of designed systems;
• According to your experience, conduct risk assessments and participate in commissioning planning and/or commissioning operations.

Who you are and what you have

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in the field of aerospace, mechanical, process engineering or similar;
• Strong analytical skills and able to apply theoretical knowledge to find practical solutions to complex fluid mechanic and/or thermodynamic engineering problems;
• Basic knowledge in the functional design of high- and low-pressure gas as well as cryogenic liquid systems;
• Adjusting self-sufficiently and quickly to a changing work environment;
• Highly organised, effective team player with high attention to detail;
