About Canada Rocket Company Canada Rocket Company is developing Canada''s first medium-lift launch vehicle.

We are a team of veterans from SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab,Ariane

Group, Pangea Propulsion, Tesla, MDA, and more, bringing over a century of combined launch and space systems experience back to Canada.

Our mission is to provide reliable, independent access to space for Canada and its allies in a rapidly expanding global market.

Our approach is defined by pragmatic engineering: Weutilizea single 700kNengine that scales from light- to medium-lift via engine clustering.

We lean on straightforward, proven technologies to reach orbit faster, avoiding the pitfalls of complex or novel designs.

We test early and often, catching problems on the bench instead of at the pad.

Backed by over $20Min funding secured within our first four months, including the largest all-Canadian seed round in the sector and an $8.3M Department of National

Defencegrant, we are moving with the speed and institutional backing required to meet Canadas orbital launch needs.

About the role Canada Rocket Company is building a sovereign launch capability for Canada.

Asamechanical technician atthe Canada Rocket Companys rockettestfacilityyou wouldserve asthehands-on backbone of propulsion testing operations.

This roleisresponsible forassembling, installing,maintaining, and troubleshootingfacility systems, aerospace components, turbomachinery, and a700kNrocket engine.

Day to day, this involvesmounting test articles and engines onto test stands, installing sensors and instrumentation, torquing fittings to precise specifications, and performing leak checks to ensure systems can safely handlecryogenicfuel and oxidizer under extreme pressures and temperatures.

The technician works closely with test engineers toprepare forhot-fire campaigns, conducting pre-test inspections, supporting valve and actuator calibrations, and verifying that every mechanical interface meets stringent safety and quality standards.

Because rocket testing carries inherent hazards,



attention to detail and strict adherence to procedures are essentiala single overlooked connection or improperly torqued bolt can jeopardize both expensive hardware and personnel safety.

Beyond test execution, the role often includes post-test teardown, hardware inspection for damage or wear, refurbishment, and documentation, all of which contribute to the iterative process of developing and qualifying reliable propulsion systems.

What you''ll do Assemble and disassemble rocket engines, components, and subassemblies according to engineering drawings, work instructions, and specifications

Mount test articles, engines, and hardware onto test stands and fixtures.

Install and connect instrumentation, sensors, transducers, and thermocouples

Perform leak checks and pressure tests on fluid and gas systems

Conduct pre-test inspections and verify hardware configuration against documentation

Support hot-fire test operations, including setup, console support, andsafingprocedures

Perform post-test teardown, inspection, and hardware refurbishment

Identify, document, and report hardware damage, wear, anomalies, and discrepancies

Calibrate and check valves, actuators, regulators, and other mechanical components

Complete documentation, travelers, and quality records for traceability

Collaborate with test engineers, quality inspectors, and design teams to resolve technical issues

Support facility and test standbuild,modifications,maintenance,and upgrades Qualifications Required: Technical/trade certification or associate degree in a relevant field (mechanical technology, aerospace, welding, machining,



etc.)2+ years of hands-on mechanical assembly, maintenance, or technician experience (often in aerospace,oil and gas,military,automotive, manufacturing,or industrial settings)Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, schematics, and technical work instructions

Experience using hand tools, power tools,andprecision measuring instruments (calipers, micrometers, torque wrenches)Familiarity with fluid systems, plumbing, tube bending, and AN/MS/JIC fittings

Strong attention to detail and commitment to safety and quality standards

Ability to work in a team environment and communicate effectively

Physical ability to lift moderate to heavy loads, stand for extended periods, climb, bend, and work in confined spaces or at heights

Willingness to work overtime, weekends, shift work, or non-standard hours to support test schedules Preferred: Direct experience with rocket propulsion, test stands, or test facility operations

Experience working with high-pressure systems, cryogenic fluids, propellants, or hazardous materials

Experience installing instrumentation, sensors, transducers, and thermocouples

Knowledge of cleanliness requirements for oxygen systems and precision cleaning practices

Experience operating cranes, hoists, forklifts, or other material-handling equipment (with relevant certifications)Welding, brazing, or soldering experience and certifications
