Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.

We are looking for a talented AeroThermal Expert to support the definition of aerodynamic and aerothermal environments and the development of Thermal Protection Systems (TPS) for our future fleet of vehicles. You will report to the Aerothermal Team Leader Engineer and closely work with the Vehicle Design Team as well as MAIT.

Key Responsibilities:
As an AeroThermal Expert, you will be part of a small team responsible for the aerodynamic and aerothermal justification of Nyx reentry capsule, especially specifying the environmental sizing cases for its Thermal Protection Systems. You will hence play a critical role in guaranteeing the successful atmospheric reentry of the capsule, ensuring the safety and integrity of the spacecraft and its payloads and subsystems.

You are expected to:




- Lead the technical decisions making process for aerodynamic and aerothermal related topics through an efficient collaborative approach, based on technical excellence
- Challenge the unit work logic and planning, identify main risks and associated mitigation actions
- Own the definition of the aerothermal environment for atmospheric re-entry (convective and radiative heating, catalytic effects, boundary layer transition modeling, etc.).
- Define and validate numerical methodologies, drive design trades and support design decisions.
- Interface with internal stakeholders (TPS, Structures, GNC, MAIT, and other engineering disciplines) and external suppliers (WTT suppliers, manufacturers, etc.).
- Define instrumentation strategies and flight data analysis plans.
- Support technical reviews (PDR, CDR, QR).
- Define test matrices and ensure correlation between test results and numerical models.
- Manage non-conformities and support root cause analyses.
