About the role

Apex Space, Inc. seeks a Lead Propulsion Test Engineer to build and lead a team testing propulsion hardware across development, qualification, and production. You will own test infrastructure, including vacuum stands, GSE, and data acquisition, driving safety and data quality. You will collaborate with engineering, production, quality, and facilities to scale propulsion testing as production grows, delivering reliable results and continuous process improvements.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
