Senior Propulsion Engineer, SpaceActive$250K

Anduril's Space team is dedicated to expanding our AI-powered capabilities into the final frontier, enhancing Space Domain Awareness, Space Control, and Command and Control for U. S.

What you'll do

• Support the spacecraft propulsion subsystems for various spacecraft programs: in all orbital regimes and work closely with bus providers for successful implementation

• Develop modern, software-defined approaches to autonomous spacecraft: operations with maneuvering capabilities to successfully accomplish mission objectives

• Own the delta-V budgets and propulsion subsystem sizing to satisfy mission requirements

• Develop appropriate test plans and procedures to validate the propulsion: system during ground checkout, on-orbit calibration and commissioning and on-orbit operations

• Develop the necessary fueling plans and procedures for the implemented propulsion system

• Collaborate across multiple teams to plan, build, and test complex functionality.

What they're looking for

• Coordinate with end-users, other operators and customers to turn needs into: features while balancing user experience with engineering constraints.
• Support challenging schedules during ground testing, launch windows and: on-orbit operations of the spacecraft systems.
• Work with other teams and government agencies to achieve the required: licenses (DOT, etc) for transporting fully fueled or pressurized containers within the spacecraft to the appropriate test and launch facilities
• Strong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in: areas/fields such as Aerospace Engineering, Orbital Mechanics or other engineering degree.
