Lead Propulsion Engineer
We are looking for a Lead Propulsion Engineer to provide technical leadership across major solid rocket motor propulsion projects and to help build a high-performing engineering team. You will guide projects from requirements through design, manufacture, testing, qualification, and production readiness, while remaining close to the hardware and supporting the engineers delivering it.
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.
