Senior Process
- Mechanical Engineer (Test Benches)Arkadia Space is an European company specializing in space propulsion, headquartered in Castellón, Spain. We develop innovative green propulsion systems for the in-space market. Our systems are already flying, and we are scaling rapidly.
We design, build and test real hardware contributing to some of Europe’s most inspiring spaceprogrammes.
As a Process / Mechanical Engineer at Arkadia Space, you will play a central role in the development of test benches to support the development and validation process of our new technologies and recurrent products.
You will lead the design, build and commission of test benches for rocket engine firing, tanks and components pressure testing, and altitude simulation facilities for engine vacuum testing.
As Arkadia expands its product range and cadence of production and validation of recurrent products, the complexity of the benches to be developed, upgraded and maintained will be increased.
