About this role

Chemical Propulsion Engineer Los Angeles Spacecraft represent the most pressing unmet need across the entire aerospace industry. As more launch vehicles come online and the cost to orbit decreases, more companies launching payloads to space continue to emerge. For the first time in history, this influx of payload companies combined with reduced launch costs has resulted in a massive increase in need for commercial spacecraft platforms, known as satellite buses. These buses hold the payloads of our customers and are flown on launch vehicles. Apex manufactures these satellite buses at scale using a combination of software, vertical integration, and hardware that is designed for manufacturing. Our spacecraft enable the future of society: ranging from earth observation to communications and more. We'd love for you to join us on our mission of providing humankind access to the galaxy beyond our planet. About the Role Apex is seeking a Chemical Propulsion Engineer to join our closely integrated team, driving the development of our chemical propulsion systems to meet the requirements of our spacecraft bus. You will have the opportunity to approach this from a clean-sheet design. You will also be one of the first chemical propulsion engineers at Apex Space, and will help build our chemical propulsion capabilities, team, and infrastructure from the ground up. Responsibilities: - Design, build, and test chemical propulsion systems - Design and build propulsion infrastructure and test facilities - Design propulsion system architecture, develop product specifications, and maintain Technical Performance Metrics (TPMs) - Develop qualification and acceptance
