As a Propulsion Integration Technician supporting early-stage R&D and product development, you’ll work at the forefront of propulsion innovation-building, testing, and refining systems that will define future flight hardware. You’ll partner directly with engineers to translate design intent into reality, providing critical feedback on manufacturability, performance, and test readiness. This role requires deep technical skill, adaptability, and hands-on experience developing spaceflight or propulsion systems in fast-paced prototype environments.
Job Responsibility:
Assemble, integrate, and test prototype propulsion and fluid systems from early engineering drawings and schematics
Perform mechanical, pneumatic, and electromechanical builds with precision and attention to design intent
Provide direct feedback to engineering on design improvements, build sequence, and hardware performance
Conduct functional testing, pressure testing, and leak verification of propulsion subassemblies
Support data collection, test setup, and post-test inspection during engine and subsystem development
Fabricate or modify components and tooling to support rapid iteration and hands-on problem solving
Uphold the highest standards of safety, cleanliness, and quality in all lab and shop environments
Requirements:
5+ years of hands-on experience as a propulsion, aerospace, or mechanical technician in R&D or flight development environments
Proven impact building and testing propulsion, engine, or fluid systems for aerospace applications
Strong ability to interpret engineering drawings, P&IDs, and assembly procedures
Skilled in precision assembly, torqueing, sealing, and pressure system fabrication
Proficient in precision measurement tools (micrometers, calipers, depth gauges) and GD&T fundamentals
Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot, redline, and iterate directly with engineering teams
Physically able to lift 50 lbs, work in confined spaces, and support test operations as needed
Nice to have:
A&P license or relevant technical certification
Experience in liquid propulsion R&D, including early-stage prototype builds and engine development
Hands-on experience with build, assembly, and test of complex actuator or mechanical assemblies
Proficiency in TIG welding, tube bending, and precision fitting of fluid systems
Experience with ground support equipment (GSE) setup, operation, and maintenance
Familiarity with pressure testing, leak checks, and data acquisition systems
Capable of designing or modifying custom tooling and fixtures for test and assembly
Prior work in startup or rapid-iteration space programs where technicians directly influence design and test outcomes
