From Apex Technology, Inc.'s posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Spacecraft represent the most pressing unmet need across the entire aerospace industry. As more launch vehicles come online and the cost to orbit decreases, more companies launching payloads to space continue to emerge.
For the first time in history, this influx of payload companies combined with reduced launch costs has resulted in a massive increase in need for commercial spacecraft platforms, known as satellite buses. These buses hold the payloads of our customers and are flown on launch vehicles.
Apex manufactures these satellite buses at scale using a combination of software, vertical integration, and hardware that is designed for manufacturing. Our spacecraft enable the future of society: ranging from earth observation to communications and more.
We’d love for you to join us on our mission of providing humankind access to the galaxy beyond our planet.
Apex is seeking a Senior Propulsion Engineer with deep experience in pressurized fluid systems to own the feed-system design of the propulsion modules that fly on Apex spacecraft. You will be the fluidics authority on the propulsion module team — designing the wet side of the module from the tank through the routing to the thruster and cathode, defining and running the test campaigns that qualify it, and carrying the hardware through range safety and into space.
This is a senior individual contributor role with technical leadership scope. You'll own pressurized fluid architecture, component selection, and routing; the proof, burst, and leak testing that verifies it; and the range-safety and pressure-systems compliance that lets it fly. You'll also work directly with Apex's in-house propulsion component teams (thrusters, cathodes, flow controllers, PPUs) and with manufacturing to design feed systems that are safe, verifiable, and buildable at rate.
