Apprenticeship - Mechanical Engineer

Work alongside an international, passionate team shaping the future of space propulsion.

Founded in 2017, ThrustMe is a pioneering space technology company specializing in advanced propulsion systems for small satellites. We are global experts in satellite propulsion, pushing the boundaries of streamlined in-orbit mobility for the rapidly expanding satellite constellation industry. Our clients across the US, Europe, and Asia trust us to design and deliver high-performance, precision-engineered propulsion systems that push technological boundaries while meeting demanding timelines and budgets. We made history in 2019 and 2020 with the world’s first in-orbit demonstrations of iodine-fueled electric propulsion systems. Today, we are experiencing rapid growth, with over 300 systems ordered to date.

As a Mechanical Engineering Apprentice at ThrustMe, you will assist our Mechanical Design team in their daily activities. You will be involved in various stages of the design, prototyping, and testing process for advanced propulsion systems and their components. You will have the opportunity to learn from experienced engineers, work in a fast-paced, innovative environment, and actively contribute to real space hardware projects.
