Proficiency in modern CAD tools (e.g., Altium Designer).
3. Electric Propulsion Systems
Hands-on experience with plasma propulsion (e.g., Hall Effect Thrusters, RF/Ion propulsion).
Operation and testing in vacuum environments using HV power supplies, RF generators, and thrust balance setups.
Deep understanding of plasma physics, ionization, and diagnostics.
Experience with vacuum pumps, mass flow controllers, and fluidic systems.
Ideal Candidate Profile
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or related field; advanced degrees (MSc/PhD) are a plus.
1-10+ years of experience depending on area.
Passionate about working in a fast-paced, hands-on engineering environment.
Excellent problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills.
