About the CompanyReaction Dynamics is a rocket manufacturing company standing at the crossroads of new space and cleantech. We aim to enable routine access to space in the most sustainable, safest and affordable way. Our proprietary hybrid propulsion technology meets the performance and combustion duration needed for orbital launch while being more cost-effective, safer and more sustainable than traditional liquid rockets used by the vast majority of rocket companies.About the RoleReaction Dynamics engineers are responsible for taking projects from requirements through to tests and, if applicable, flight operations, and everything in between. They take full ownership over their systems which may result in technical support or even the occasional urgent troubleshooting. The avionics team is seeking a hands-on engineer, versatile in the field of embedded systems yet with a focus on the design of PCBs and electrical systems, to work both on flight avionics and electrical ground support equipment. Successful candidates will be rigorous while also results-driven, self-reliant while also team players, and will like challenges.Permanent position
