Full Job Description

York Space Systems was founded to radically improve spacecraft affordability and reliability, transforming, and enabling next- generation space mission operations worldwide. Today, York is one of the most innovative aerospace companies, specializing in end-to-end customer solutions and the rapid production of spacecraft platforms. York’s complete Space Segment Solution includes spacecraft production, payload integration, system integration & test, launch services, ground segment services, and mission operations, enabling customers to leverage York’s existing technology solutions to get to orbit rapidly and responsively. We’re looking to expand our team across the board.

The Propulsion Systems Engineer is responsible for supporting the integration, test, and flight operation of spacecraft propulsion systems. You will work directly with propulsion hardware, suppliers, test teams, and spacecraft subsystem engineers to make sure propulsion units are understood, integrated correctly, tested thoroughly, and ready to fly. The work is hands-on and execution-focused. You will be expected to learn quickly, identify problems early, communicate clearly, and take ownership of assigned technical work.
This is not a propulsion analysis-only role. You will be involved in supplier hardware reviews, spacecraft integration, functional testing, environmental test support, verification, launch preparation, and on-orbit operations support.
Responsibilities

Support integration of commercial propulsion systems into spacecraft buses
Develop and maintain understanding of assigned propulsion hardware, including operating modes, power requirements, command and telemetry interfaces, thermal limits, handling constraints, and fault responses
Review supplier documentation including ICDs, drawings, test reports, qualification data, acceptance data packages, user manuals, and nonconformance reports
Support definition and tracking of propulsion requirements, interfaces, verification methods, risks, and open technical issues
Work with electrical, software, mechanical, thermal, GNC, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, test, and mission operations teams to resolve integration issues
Assist with propulsion interface definition, including power, harnessing, inhibits, grounding, command and telemetry, mechanical mounting, thermal constraints, and operational limits
Develop and execute propulsion test procedures, test scripts, checkouts, and verification activities
Support vehicle-level functional testing, environmental testing, integrated system testing, and mission simulations
Troubleshoot propulsion-related issues during integration and test and support root-cause investigations
Participate in technical meetings with propulsion suppliers and drive assigned actions to closure
Support propulsion hardware acceptance reviews and verification of delivered data packages
Maintain accurate technical documentation, test records, interface definitions, and engineering status
Support launch-site preparation, commissioning planning, and on-orbit operations as required

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, systems engineering, or another relevant technical discipline
Engineering internship, academic project, laboratory, student spacecraft, rocketry, robotics, or early-career experience involving complex hardware systems
Ability to understand and work from engineering drawings, requirements documents, interface control documents, test procedures, and technical reports.Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills
Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, cross-functional engineering environment
Clear written and verbal communication skills
Ability to manage assigned work independently, raise issues early, and follow tasks through completion

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with spacecraft systems, propulsion, fluid systems, thermal systems, electrical power, controls, test engineering, or orbital mechanics.Experience with hands-on hardware integration, lab testing, environmental testing, manufacturing, or vehicle assembly
Familiarity with requirements management, verification, configuration management, risk tracking, or technical documentation
Experience with CubeSat, launch vehicle, UAV, defense, automotive, robotics, or other high-reliability hardware programs
Experience using Python, MATLAB, CAD tools, data analysis tools, or test automation tools
Familiarity with electric propulsion, chemical propulsion, cold-gas systems, or spacecraft maneuver operations
Position Level
This position is intended for an early-career engineer
You will work alongside experienced propulsion and systems engineers while taking on increasing responsibility for propulsion hardware, interfaces, testing, and vehicle integration
Success in this role means propulsion hardware is integrated correctly, technical issues are identified early, test results are well documented, and the system is ready to fly on schedule

Benefits
In addition to compensation, York Space Systems is proud to offer a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision insurance along with PTO and a 401K.
