Joining us, you will be part of an international, collaborative, and creative team, that is passionate about developing our groundbreaking propulsion technology.

Main tasks and responsibilities:

• Be responsible for the mechanical design of advanced propulsion systems and their subcomponents.
• Work on challenging design problems in environments with extreme thermal, vibration, and shock conditions.
• Bridge cutting-edge research and mass production to create flight-ready systems.
• Work effectively in a fast-paced environment where priorities swiftly change.
• Contribute to a highly collaborative team environment that emphasizes innovation and creative problem-solving.

Skills and qualifications:

• Master’s degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering.
• 5+ years of professional experience in mechanical engineering required.
• Experience in DFM - Design for Manufacturing(CNC)
• Hands-on experience in Design, Build and Test prototypes
• Extensive experience with CAD software (SolidWorks preferred but not required).
• Experience in requirement-heavy industries is preferred (aviation, space, nuclear, automotive, etc.).
• Fluency in English.
