Description The role of the propulsion operations team is to ensure customers can use our in-space propulsion systems in the way they need to complete their mission. The team works at the interface between software, electronics, propulsion hardware, and the customer. We collaborate closely with software and electrical engineers on our embedded control electronics. Together with project managers we talk to customers and determine what kind of manoeuvrers and operations they want to perform with the propulsion system. Working with the propulsion engineers, we determine how high-level concept of operations translate into the low-level read-out from sensors, and the actuation of heaters, valves, and igniters. With AIT we ensure smooth assembly, integration, and verification of propulsion systems. As Full Stack Web Developer, you will be supporting and developing the many web-hosted tools used throughout our organisation. These range from small API services and data visualisers, to testing infrastructure and internal engineering tools. We are looking for someone who is strong in the backend, but understands that a great web application also requires a good UI and UX. You will join a team of seven software developers with different backgrounds in embedded software, data science and aerospace engineering. Because we are small, you will quickly be expected to be responsible for specific applications. At the same time, each member of the team generally works across all different appli
