Unsere Mission ist es, eine neue Ära der Raumfahrt einzuleiten. Wir entwickeln Raumflugzeuge, die wie Flugzeuge starten, auf einem Flughafen landen und hunderte Male wiederverwendet werden können. Wir kombinieren Kosteneffizienz, außergewöhnliche Flexibilität und die höchsten Sicherheitsstandards, um damit bahnbrechende Fortschritte im Weltraumtransport als auch im Hyperschallflug zu ermöglichen. Diese Vision wird mittlerweile von über 115
Mitarbeitenden täglich verfolgt.

Bei POLARIS steht die Zusammenarbeit vor Ort im Mittelpunkt – daher bieten wir grundsätzlich kein Home-Office an. Bitte bewirb dich nur, wenn du dich mit diesem Arbeitsmodell wohlfühlst. So sparen wir dir und uns wertvolle Zeit bei der Bearbeitung von Bewerbungen.
