Jobs at The Exploration Company

Lead design, build, and commission a remote lunar lander propulsion test facility. Responsibilities include defining system requirements, cryogenic and high-pressure fluid system design, P&IDs, GSE specification, automation and safety-critical controls, civil/infrastructure coordination, hazard analyses, test procedures, and on-site commissioning and operations support.

Provide administrative support to engineering: manage purchases, receipts, invoices, travel logistics, coordinate events, and handle ad hoc operational tasks to free engineers for technical work.

Design, analyze, and optimize combustion devices for cryogenic rocket engines using theory and CFD. Drive injector design, support hot-fire test instrumentation and data reduction, derive performance and stability metrics, maintain data-processing tools, and present technical justification in design reviews.

Lead the technical vision of the Storm high-thrust rocket engine program, ensuring system integrity, managing risks, and guiding engineering teams for mission success.

Lead engineering projects related to high-thrust engine development, manage a team of engineers, oversee project execution, and collaborate across departments.

As a Supply Chain Manufacturing Engineer, you will collaborate with design, procurement, and assurance teams to ensure quality and efficiency in manufacturing metallic structures for the Nyx vehicle.

The Senior Teamcenter Administrator will manage the Siemens Teamcenter environment, focusing on configuration, operation, and lifecycle management, while ensuring stable PLM platforms for aerospace development.

Lead design and development of solenoid isolation valves for storable propulsion from concept through qualification. Own mechanical, electromagnetic, and sealing design; perform sizing and trade studies; select materials and sealing concepts for propellant compatibility; define verification and qualification tests; coordinate with test, manufacturing, and materials teams; support anomaly investigations and lessons learned. Work principally in Bordeaux with occasional travel to Munich.

Design, analyze, and optimize combustion-device hardware for cryogenic rocket engines. Perform FEA and reduced-order modeling, support hardware development and testing, drive life and thermo-mechanical reliability assessments, define instrumentation and validation strategies, and contribute to material selection and technical documentation.

Support development and production ramp-up of electric pumps: prepare and execute assembly and test procedures, design tooling, perform high-precision mechanical assembly, manage fluid interfaces and instrumentation, support test bench integration, and provide manufacturability and testability feedback to design teams.

Lead and execute assembly, integration and testing (AIT) for the Nyx cargo capsule. Manage AIT plans, schedules, budget, team hiring and GSE procurement. Interface with design, quality and program teams, resolve anomalies, perform risk assessments and Test Readiness reviews, and implement continuous improvement for AIT operations and integration hall setup in Munich.

Lead the AIT activities for lunar lander projects, manage engineers and technicians, define budgets, write AIT plans, and resolve anomalies during integration and testing.

The Principal Engineer will lead the development of a Test Systems Software platform by designing architecture, writing code, managing operational requirements, and guiding a team to ensure robust software for testing environments.

Define and industrialize electronics test strategies from board bring-up to qualification. Translate requirements into test cases, prepare and execute test campaigns, build test fixtures, analyze results, debug hardware, produce verification evidence, and improve bench automation and repeatability.

Manage Critical Mechanisms for Nyx Earth missions, ensuring timely, cost-effective execution while coordinating with diverse teams and mitigating risks.

Lead assembly, integration, industrialisation and testing of cryogenic propulsion hardware and engines. Develop assembly procedures, tooling and GSE, ensure cleanliness and configuration control, support production ramp, mentor junior staff and coordinate multidisciplinary teams.

Responsible for designing, analyzing, and optimizing turbopump components, performing rotor dynamics analysis, managing subcontractors, and improving turbomachinery design.

Perform and supervise Non-Destructive Testing on aerospace components, develop inspection procedures, and build NDT capabilities while collaborating with engineering and quality teams.

Serve as a senior trusted advisor to leaders across a 600-person global company. Lead performance and development frameworks, design learning programmes, coach senior leadership, drive culture and engagement, and lead high-stakes cross-functional global people projects using people data to inform decisions.

The Senior Flight Software Engineer will design, implement, and test critical flight software for a space vehicle, ensuring integration across systems.
