You will lead the static-fire test campaign that qualifies a next-generation liquid propulsion system for flight. Your work will span test planning, stand operations, instrumentation, data reduction, and clear recommendations to the broader engineering team. You will have direct influence on vehicle readiness by turning complex test results and anomalies into practical design decisions. If you thrive in hands-on test environments where disciplined execution matters, this opportunity puts you close to the hardware and the mission.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

Plan, document, and execute hot-fire and cold-flow test campaigns on the propulsion qualification stand.

Own test instrumentation, data acquisition systems, channel checkout, calibration coordination, and post-test data reduction.

Develop test plans, procedures, readiness criteria, hazard controls, and post-test reports in coordination with engineering and operations teams.

Monitor test performance, identify anomalies, assess technical risk, and provide clear, defensible recommendations to propulsion and vehicle design teams.

Support troubleshooting, corrective-action development, and retesting to verify that propulsion-system requirements are met.

Serve console rotations during integrated vehicle tests and support test or flight events outside standard hours when program needs require it.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING:

At least five years of hands-on experience in liquid propulsion testing, rocket-engine testing, or an equivalent propulsion development program.

Demonstrated experience planning or executing hot-fire and cold-flow tests using operational test-stand hardware.
