Job Description:

We are seeking a Propulsion Engineer to serve as the Responsible Engineer (RE) for the Thrust Vector Control (TVC) system on X-BAT. This role demands full lifecycle ownership of the TVC system, from concept and architecture through design, integration, test, flight, and operational support.

You will serve as the focal point for all technical matters related to thrust vectoring, ensuring the system enables precise flight control authority, integrates cleanly with the engine and airframe, and performs reliably across the full range of operational conditions. This role is hands-on, data-driven, and highly cross-functional, requiring collaboration with controls, airframe, flight test, and mission teams.
