Overview
Senior Propulsion Engineer We are looking for a Senior Propulsion Engineer to own solid rocket motor propulsion projects from requirements through design, manufacture, testing, iteration, and production readiness. This is an end-to-end role for an engineer who wants to see a product through to a working result rather than owning only one isolated part of the design process. About us We’re a Germany-based rocketry startup currently in stealth mode, scaling up rapidly to meet the demand for high-performance, reliable, and scalable solid propulsion technologies for space and defense applications. We are already launching suborbital and ballistic rockets on a regular basis, generating significant revenue and applying our knowledge toward the development of an orbital rocket. We are working hard to build something truly spectacular. To thrive here you will need to be comfortable working at pace, with the autonomy to make decisions and execute on them quickly. If you’re excited by hard technical challenges and want a role where you will make a real difference each day to the future of the company, we may be the place for you. Key responsibilities Own small-to-medium propulsion projects from requirements definition to tested and production-ready hardware. Perform and review design and analysis covering relevant aspects of internal ballistics, grain geometry, performance, nozzles, structures, and motor cases. Coordinate design, manufacture, assembly, instrumentation, static-fire testing, post-test analysis, and redesign. Work with chemistry and manufacturing teams to select materials and propellant solutions that meet performance and production requirements. Prepare technical documentation, design reviews, test plans, and analysis reports. Support qualification, customer demonstrations, productionisation, and the development of junior engineers.
