Job description
Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run. In addition to Nyx, we are actively developing Typhoon, the largest full-flow staged combustion engine ever to be built in Europe. We are looking for a talented Senior Additive Manufacturing Materials Engineer to join our mission and contribute significantly to the development and in-house production of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies for our propulsion products powering all our space vehicles. Role Overview: The ideal candidate will play a key role in the qualification and development of AM processes, including the definition and characterization of print parameters for new materials on larger, more productive machines. This role also involves supporting the certification of AM components to meet high industry standards, including NASA regulations. You will help implement large-scale Directed Energy Deposition (DED) processes and develop functionally graded or bi-metallic components. This is a versatile position with broad hands-on respon...
