We are looking for a Lead Propellant Manager to lead the development, qualification, scale-up, and productionisation of the solid propellants used in our propulsion systems. You will provide technical direction across formulation, processing, characterisation, material qualification, and manufacturing readiness.This is a senior, hands-on role for someone with significant experience in solid propellants, energetic materials, chemical processing, or a closely related field. You will work closely with propulsion, manufacturing, test, quality, and supply-chain teams to turn propellant concepts into safe, repeatable, and high-performing propulsion hardware.About usWe’re a Germany-based rocketry startup currently in stealth mode, scaling up rapidly to meet the demand for high-performance, reliable, and scalable solid propulsion technologies for space and defense applications.We are already launching suborbital and ballistic rockets on a regular basis, generating significant revenue and applying our knowledge toward the development of an orbital rocket.We are working hard to build something truly spectacular.To thrive here you will need to be comfortable working at pace, with the autonomy to make decisions and execute on them quickly. If you’re excited by hard technical challenges and want a role where you will make a real difference each day to the future of the company, we may be the place for you.At our company, job titles and career progression are earned, not determined by years of experience alone. They reflect the responsibility you take on and the dedication you bring to each project. If you’re ready to rise to the challenge, we’d love to hear from you.Key responsibilitiesLead propellant development from formulation and laboratory trials through characterisation, scale-up, qualification, and production readiness.Set technical direction for propellant chemistry, processing, material selection, performance, ageing, and compatibility.Establish and improve procedures f
