Spacecraft Propulsion Design Engineer
7 days ago
About Astranis: Astranis is dedicated to bridging the digital divide by connecting people worldwide who lack internet access. We're achieving this by developing next-generation spacecraft that are smaller and more cost-effective. Our team has launched two satellites into orbit, secured ten commercial deals worth over $1 billion in revenue, raised over $500 million from top global investors, and assembled a team of over 300 world-class engineers. We work together out of our San Francisco office, which was once used to build ships during World Wars.
Satellite Technology: Our satellites operate from geostationary orbit (GEO) and weigh only 400 kg. They utilize a proprietary software-defined radio payload, enabling each satellite to connect over two million people. We're excited about the impact we'll soon have in the Philippines, Peru, Mexico, and other countries.
Senior Propulsion Engineer Role: As our Senior Propulsion Engineer, you will be an asset in designing, building, and testing our propulsion system. You will use your experience to improve the performance of our design and provide mentorship to younger engineers on the team. You will contribute to the production of many satellites that will provide service to underserved areas.
Key Responsibilities:
- Become a technical leader and help shape the future of propulsion systems at Astranis.
- Design, analyze, and document space propulsion systems to meet existing and future mission requirements.
- Define how we fly and operate our spacecrafts for 10+ years.
- Develop strong relationships with vendors, ensuring their hardware meets our flight requirements before arriving at the factory.
- Support assembly integration and test processes through launch, including troubleshooting issues with spacecraft propulsion system.
Requirements: To excel in this role, you should have:
- A Bachelor's Degree or higher in a technical discipline (e.g., engineering, physics) or equivalent experience.
- 7-15 years of industry experience in a design and manufacture related role.
- Experience with 3D CAD, mechanical design, fabrication, and environmental qualification.
- Previous aerospace or similar product design and production experience (full product development cycle).
- Hands-on experience working with fluid or gas feed systems.
- Working knowledge of in-space electric and chemical propulsion systems.
