About the VentureAt PAVE Space, we are redefining in-space logistics with autonomous and mobile spacecraft. Our first mission is a kickstage, a vehicle that improves satellite deployment by accelerating orbit raising. ️ As we accelerate our development, we are looking for propulsion engineers to develop our 45kN rocket engine. You would have the responsibility to build on our team’s heritage and play a key role in the design, testing, and optimization of our propulsion system. This is an opportunity to have an impact by participating from the beginning in a big project and contributing to the design and development of a key subsystem.Who are you?<ul><li>You are passionate about space technology, driven to contribute to the next generation of in-orbit mobility</li><li>solutions.</li><li>You want to join an adventure from the beginning and contribute to its success.</li><li>You take ownership of your work and enjoy solving real-world engineering problems as well as hands-on</li><li>testing.</li><li>You thrive in agile, fast-moving teams and adapt quickly to new challenges.</li></ul>What do we offer?<ul><li>A unique opportunity to be part of a pioneering Swiss space-tech company and help shape its future.</li><li>A dynamic, fast-growing startup environment where your contributions across various company verticals</li><li>have a real impact.</li><li>Hands-on experience with propulsion system design, testing, and integration.</li><li>Cross-functional exposure, working with experts in GNC, mission design, and aerospace systems.</li><li>Personal and professional growth opportunities in one of the most exciting domains of aerospace.</li></ul>What you need to suceed<ul><li>Experience with bi-liquid propulsion systems : in design, analysis, or testing (e.g. combustion chambers,</li><li>turbomachinery, valves, feed systems, test benches).</li><li>Strong knowledge of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and rocket propulsion.</li><li>Proficiency in engineering tools such as CAD, Python, or relevant simulation software.</li><li>Familiarity with high-pressure systems and propellant handling is a plus.</li><li>Clear and effective English communication skills.</li><li>High motivation and a drive to contribute to the future of the space industry.</li></ul>If you’re ready to engineer the future of in-space propulsion, join us at PAVE Space! 🚀
