Job Description
Join ispace as a Propulsion Design Engineer and help shape the future of lunar exploration.
We’re looking for a passionate engineer with broad experience in the mechanical design of spacecraft propulsion systems—someone excited about tackling complex technical challenges and contributing to missions that push the boundaries of what's possible in space.
If you're eager to grow with a dynamic and ambitious team, we’d love to hear from you.
Please note: Due to the large number of applications we receive, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
Ideal candidate profile:
The ideal candidate has strong system‑level engineering skills and practical knowledge of how to apply and integrate propulsion components into a lunar lander. Their strength lies in using components effectively within a spacecraft system rather than developing components from scratch.
