Job description

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.

Our Future Projects unit is dedicated to expanding and complementing these capabilities by conceptualizing and pre-developing new technologies, products and programs.

We want you as a talented systems engineer to help us in our mission by conceptualizing new technologies and products, characterizing stakeholders and use cases, translating these needs into system architectures, breaking them down into functional, specification and product trees, defining and managing requirements and interfaces, and supporting technical trade-offs with a cross-functional engineering team.

You will be part of the Future Systems team, reporting to the Principal Engineer of the project and working closely with other engineering disciplines.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the commercial and program teams in writing and negotiating proposals for Future Projects.
• Perform the System Engineering tasks for studies and Future Projects, including:
• Trade-offs and technical investigations at system level.
• Defining system-level requirements and ensuring flow down and consistency of lower-level requirements.
• Functional breakdown of the system.
• Developing project plans.
• Coordinating technical tasks among engineering team members, ensuring schedule alignment.
• Facilitating co-engineering sessions with external partners, including setting agendas, coordinating priorities, decision-making, documenting minutes, and tracking actions.
• Creating and maintaining technical budgets (mass, power, etc.).
• Supporting technical reviews with the customer, including datapack preparation and RIDs management.

What we would love to see from you

In the role of Future Projects System Engineer, ideally, you will have:

• An MSc in aerospace engineering, systems engineering, or related field.
• At least 3 years of experience in the aerospace industry.
• Experience in early development phases (Phase 0/A/B) and systems engineering.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Fortran, Matlab.
• Fluency in English; knowledge of German, French, or Italian is a plus.

Skills and Behaviors

• Strong communication skills, both oral and written.
• Excellent analysis and problem-solving abilities.
• Organizational and task prioritization skills.
• Positive, flexible attitude and proactive approach.
• Ability to communicate effectively across organizational levels.
• Alignment with The Exploration Company's core values of Vision, Competence, Integrity, and Passion.
• Enthusiasm for space and a desire to impact the European space industry.

Note: The company industry listed as Oil & Gas appears inconsistent with the space industry focus; clarification may be needed.
