Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.
We are a pioneering company with European roots that is dedicated to advancing international collaboration in space exploration. As we expand our global presence, we are establishing a strong technical footprint in the UAE to support on-ground lunar lander demonstrations, as well as other space technology development targeted towards the Middle East region and beyond.
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Technical Leader in the UAE to drive projects end-to-end, building and leading a team to execute complex, multidisciplinary space demonstrations and projects. This is a high-impact leadership role requiring strategic foresight, hands-on technical leadership from design to testing, and the ability to scale operations in a rapidly growing space sector in the UAE.
We are open to relocating the right candidate from abroad to the UAE to join us in building these exciting projects.
