About the role

Impulse Space, based in Redondo Beach, is seeking a Senior Spacecraft Design Engineer to join the Propulsion team. You will own propulsion system layout from concept to realization and collaborate with a fast-paced, agile group on diverse liquid propulsion projects. You will lead the design of high‑pressure fluid and mechanical systems, create CAD models and drawings, and conduct fluid, thermal, and structural analyses while coordinating procurement and fabrication.

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.
