We’re looking for someone to lead the build of our spaceplane which is an integral part of our mission. We have a track record of being the best in class. If you do too, please apply.
We already have a successful commercial business in in-space propulsion – we’re the fastest-growing green propulsion company in the world with 57 thrusters on 12 operational satellites. As we grow, we now need someone to take the reins for our spaceplane and progress it to a commercial service offering.
Our spaceplanes are a clean sheet design. The rapid reusability of the aircraft significantly reduces costs compared to a rocket. Using existing runways also means we can deploy and scale globally without the need to build expensive infrastructure. Aviation regulations will allow us to fly multiple times per day.
These are all features that enable a scalability and sustainability that rockets will never achieve.
Our committed and motivated team has already achieved the first steps toward our goal of reaching space twice in one day – flying our Mk-II vehicle under rocket power – and we are now in search of someone who is able to step up to the challenge of leading this global team. This role leads all aspects of space launch including Mk-II, Mk-III, second stage development and ground ops. Although this role could be undertaken from either our Netherlands or Christchurch office, we expect Christchurch to be the better location.
