We're partnering with an established, fast-growing spacecraft propulsion company looking for a Lead Propulsion Engineer to drive the development of advanced propulsion systems for spaceflight.

The Opportunity:- Lead the development of flight-proven chemical propulsion systems.
- Own engine design, development, testing and qualification.
- Manage and mentor a high-performing engineering team.
- Work directly with hardware through regular on-site hot-fire testing.
- Influence the next generation of spacecraft propulsion technology.
- 5+ years' experience in rocket engines, liquid propulsion or combustion systems.

- Hands-on experience developing and testing propulsion hardware.
- Technical leadership experience or the ability to step into a lead role.
This is a role for an engineer who wants to lead people without stepping away from the hardware.
