Aerospace Propulsion Engineer

Want to make your mark on our time? Become a Aerospace propulsion engineer at TNO in Ypenburg (The Hague)!

About this position

In a world where access to advanced propulsion technologies is increasingly important for security and strategic autonomy, you will directly contribute to innovations that strengthen Europe's technological capabilities. You will work on solutions that go beyond the drawing board and are actually developed, tested, and validated. Are you ready to help shape the next generation of aerospace propulsion technologies? Then we would love to hear from you. What will be your role?

As an aerospace propulsion engineer, you will collaborate closely with the Aerospace Propulsion team to design and analyse key components and technologies of propulsion systems, including combustion chambers, air intakes, propellant and fuel formulations, gas generators and propellant feed systems. Working alongside experienced engineers and scientists, you will be involved in the full chain of technology development, from initial concept generation to prototype fabrication and performance evaluation. Your responsibilities will also include developing comprehensive test plans, selecting appropriate measurement techniques, and actively participating in the execution of tests in TNO's Propulsion Test Facility. This will entail preparing experimental s...
