Test Development Engineer Ajouter aux favoris

Bordeaux
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.

We are also developing different types of propulsion systems to power our future vehicles and missions. As a talented Test Development Engineer , you will be responsible for the development of test facilities for our future propulsion systems.

Key Responsibilities:

In your capacity as a Test Development Engineer , your role will be continuously evolving, but day to day your duties will include:
  • Synthesise test bench requirements from user and operator needs and plan required verification methods and tests.
  • Preparing P&IDs of test facilities based on test bench requirements, selecting components and undertaking CAD design of the ground support equipment with minimal oversight.
  • Undertake hazard assessments of the test facility design (FMEA and HAZOPs) to determine if any additional changes to the design are required.
  • Perform technical trade-offs to determine the best choice of hardware, software, equipment, component, location etc for various test facilities.
  • Autonomously leading risk assessment analyses for future tests and developing mitigation actions to ensure personnel and hardware safety; developing clear procedures and guidelines to improve company processes.
  • Develop and maintain test procedures, sequences, scripts and configuration files required for test facilities, particularly those required for the entry-into-service and commissioning phase of the system.
  • Selecting control and data acquisition systems based on test requirements and support commissioning activities to ensure the proper working order of these systems.
  • Lead and coordinate end-to-end activities of the development of test facilities including design, reviews, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, test operations, ongoing upgrades and maintenance.
  • Work with procurement, AIT and design teams during the development of test facilities to find the right balance of technical solutions, cost and lead time.
  • Collaborate with others to troubleshoot test anomalies and tackle challenging engineering problems.
  • Presenting findings to team members and participating in design reviews and project discussions.
What we would love to see from you:
  • Bachelor's, master's or PhD in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field (Master's and above preferred).
  • 2-5 years of experience in propulsion or related fields.
    • Hands on experience with test bench design and development, especially for cryogenic rocket engine testing.
    • Experience in testing or test development in other related fields (e.g. liquid hydrogen) will also be considered.
    • Background in cryogenic propellants and cryogenic systems will be a big plus.
  • Experience undertaking detailed risk and hazard assessments for testing activities.
  • Exposure to the process of obtaining environmental analysis for test facilities is also a plus.
  • Experience using CAD Software (Siemens NX, CATIA, or similar) to develop and manage complex assemblies.
  • Familiarity with data acquisition and control systems and how to select appropriate hardware based on requirements.
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical abilities.
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills, with the ability to convey complex concepts to diverse audiences.
