Responsibilities

The Propulsion Test Engineer will be part of a team that is performing development and verification tests on liquid rocket engines and their subsystems on a dedicated test bench and in close communication with the developing engineers. In addition, the person takes care of test preparation and maintenance on the test bench. As the test bench is not yet operative, he/she will work on design tasks, the definition of safe operational procedures and the coordination of the build-up process together with the team. In the mid-term future, involvement in the development of further test stands and launch pads is likely.

More specifically, you will:

  • Help designing and building test benches for propulsion development testing
  • Implement test schedules on the test bench in coordination with the development engineers
  • Conduct test campaigns together with propulsion development engineers
  • Ensure safe operations by using and evolving existing protocols
  • Take care of test preparations, upgrades and maintenance of the test bench

Profile

  • Experienced in liquid rocket engine testing with at least 5 years’ experience in the field
  • Proficient in design and operation of high-pressure cryogenic propellant feed systems
  • Experienced in test data acquisition, reduction and evaluation
  • Expert in multidisciplinary troubleshooting
  • In-depth knowledge about rocket propulsion systems
  • Highly organised and proactive with high attention to detail
  • Passionate about new space, curious and eager to learn
  • Driven to deliver and consonantly push the boundaries
  • Take ownership and accountability for your own actions and mistakes
  • Humble and willing to go out of your way to help others
  • Can-do attitude and outstanding communication skills
