Hypersonic Propulsion Engineer

Department: Engineering – Engines & Propulsion |
Type: Full-Time |
Location: On-Site

Join a high-speed aerospace innovator pushing the boundaries of flight. The team designs, builds, and tests advanced propulsion systems and high-performance vehicles capable of operating at extreme speeds. Their work directly supports national aerospace programs
, giving engineers the opportunity to contribute to projects that matter
.

• Innovation at speed: Move quickly from concept to flight, solving real-world engineering challenges.
• Hands-on culture: Engineers design, build, test, and iterate on flight hardware.
• High-impact projects: Work on propulsion and vehicle systems that redefine aerospace capabilities.
• Cross-disciplinary collaboration: Engage with design, manufacturing, and test teams on ambitious projects.
• Growth opportunities: Learn from senior engineers, own meaningful projects, and develop your skills in a supportive environment.

As a Propulsion Engineer, you’ll sit at the intersection of engineering design, manufacturing, integration, and test
. You’ll work closely with design and production teams, helping turn high-level concepts into flight-ready hardware
. This entry-level position is hands-on, high-impact, and perfect for recent graduates or early-career engineers looking to build a career in aerospace.

• Collaborate with teams to turn concepts into detailed, buildable hardware.
• Assist in planning, building, and testing propulsion and vehicle components.
• Support the transition from prototype to production for complex assemblies.
• Simplify processes, eliminate waste, and improve workflow efficiency.
• Participate in tooling, test flow, and full vehicle integration processes.
• Help run test procedures and validate flight hardware readiness.
• Work across production, test, and engineering teams to solve real-world problems.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Manufacturing, or related Engineering field.
• Hands-on experience with hardware from labs, internships, or project teams.
• Comfort with CAD, hand tools, and test equipment.
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes such as machining, welding, forming, etc.
• Strong problem-solving skills and curiosity to learn through building, testing, and iterating.

• Experience designing or building hardware that has flown, broken, or both.
• Familiarity with Siemens NX/Teamcenter.
• Leadership or mentorship experience on projects.
• Experience supporting fast-paced production lines or test infrastructure.

This is a hands-on, learning-intensive role where early-career engineers can gain experience across design, manufacturing, integration, and testing of advanced propulsion systems. You’ll work in a fast-paced environment, contribute to high-impact aerospace projects, and have the opportunity to grow alongside senior engineers.
