We are a team of veterans from SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, ArianeGroup, 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: We lean on simple, proven technologies to reach orbit faster, avoiding the pitfalls of complex or novel designs Backed by over $20M in funding secured within our first four months, including the largest all-Canadian seed round in the sector and an $8.3M Department of National Defence grant, we are moving with the speed and institutional backing required to meet Canada’s orbital launch needs. We are looking for a Propulsion Components Engineer to own the design, development, and qualification of the hardware that makes up our propulsion system — valves, regulators, igniters, fluid piping, flex lines, Thrust Vector Control (TVC) actuators, thrusters and other fluid system components. This role is focused on deep, hands‑on ownership of individual components: taking a component from requirements and first‑principles design through detailed engineering, analysis, test, and flight qualification.
This is a highly technical role for an engineer who wants to deep dive into component‑level design, analysis, manufacturing and testing. Own the design and development of propulsion components, including valves, regulators, igniters, fluid piping, flex lines, TVC actuators, thrusters and other fluid system components Be accountable for component‑level design from concept through detailed design, manufacturing, component test, and flight qualification Develop CAD models,
detailed drawings, and release packages for components spanning prototype, development, qualification, and flight configurations Drive design‑for‑manufacture and design‑for‑assembly decisions specific to propulsion components, working closely with the manufacturing team on machining, brazing, welding, and additive processes Support component‑level test planning, instrumentation, and post-test analysis to validate design assumptions and drive design iteration Experience in mechanical design and development of propulsion or other aerospace hardware Ownership of individual components from concept through detailed design, manufacturing, test, and qualification Proficiency in CAD and mechanical drawing creation, with the ability to generate clear, manufacturable, and well‑controlled hardware definitions for precision components Ability to perform and interpret engineering analyses using a combination of first‑principles calculations and FEA/CFD tools, with sound judgment on the level of analysis appropriate to the component Robust understanding of manufacturing processes relevant to propulsion hardware (machining, brazing, welding, additive manufacturing) and how design decisions affect producibility, cost, and quality Experience working with suppliers to source COTS components and manufacture in‑house designed parts Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related field Hands‑on experience with hot‑fire or component‑level propulsion testing, including instrumentation and post‑test data analysis Familiarity with rapid design‑build‑test hardware development environments Advanced degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related field #
