Week in Space Data, every Friday.
As a Propulsion Components Manufacturing Engineer at Impulse, you will assist with build & fabrication of components for propulsion and vehicle control systems. Work alongside propulsion component designers to take hardware from initial drawings, to fabricated assemblies, to fully integrated onto our vehicles. Impulse Space is seeking hands-on engineers who want to work in a rapidly iterative production environment. Own all aspects of propulsion component manufacturing from initial concept through prototype build, qualification, and rate production. Drive the development, build, assembly, and testing of complex propulsion hardware, ensuring reliable, cost‑efficient, and scalable manufacturing outcomes. Create robust assembly and test work instructions, and design production‑ready fixtures and tooling that enable efficient, repeatable, and high‑rate manufacturing. Lead creative changes to production processes and hardware design by partnering closely with design engineering to iterate for manufacturability and reduce cost, cycle time, and complexity. Collaborate deeply with build and test technicians, design engineers, internal machine shops, and external suppliers to ensure components are optimized for manufacturability, ease of assembly, and performance. Resolve technical issues across manufacturing and testing by developing innovative, resourceful solutions and driving root‑cause analysis with quality and design stakeholders. Design and improve component‑level testing assets—including proof and leak, flow characterization, and functional checkout—while advancing capability, automation, and test throughput. Grow your expertise across multiple manufacturing disciplines to expand in‑house production and test capability, helping forge our path toward rapid, reliable access to space. Bachelor’s degree in engineering discipline or Physics 3+ years of professional experience manufacturing, building, testing, or troubleshooting hardware Demonstrated experience with Design for Manufacturability and complex assemblies Demonstrated results with product or process improvements Hands-on experience with basic fabrication tools and processes (electric/pneumatic power tools, tube bending, machining, welding, etc.) Demonstrated ability of taking project ownership and working well in small teams
