Propellant Lab Associate

About Manastu Space:

We are a Space Safety and Logistics Company, using technology to save the Trillion $ Space

industry from Debris Pollution in Space. We believe that the problems of Earth can be solved

using Space. However, the rapid increase in the number of satellites is also increasing the risk of

satellite collision, leading to Debris pollution- making space a dangerous place for other

satellites as well as astronauts. To prevent this, we are developing an Agile, Safe, Efficient and

Affordable Green Propulsion System with a new fuel, engine and catalyst for the engine to

avoid satellite collision in space and prevent Debris Pollution, which can hence be a potential

green alternative to the current monopropellant propulsion technology.

Primary Objectives:

Join Manastu Space as a Propellant Lab Associate and be at the forefront of designing, building,

and testing next-generation propulsion products for small satellites. Collaborate closely with

engineers and chemists to develop and test green propellants. Gain valuable expertise in

propulsion engineering, propellant chemistry, and engineering software while documenting and

presenting results. Embrace our entrepreneurial culture, where proactive problem-solving and

cross-departmental collaboration are encouraged. Be prepared to tackle diverse tasks and

contribute to our fast-paced environment.

• Conduct various laboratory tests, both chemical and physical in nature.

• Ensure laboratory instruments and equipment are well-maintained, clean, and

functional.

• Set up chemical experiments and tests using standard analytical equipment.

• Prepare necessary chemical solutions for experiments.

• Prioritize and maintain a safe working environment for all.

• Offer technical support in chemistry to fellow chemists, engineers, and technicians.

• Manage material procurement and maintain inventory to keep supplies available.

• Analyze and interpret test results and data.

Education and/or Experience:

• Candidates must be enrolled in an accredited college or university and seeking a degree

in chemistry or chemical engineering. Other relevant degrees are also acceptable.

• Previous internship or research experience in the chemical, medical QA/QC or space

industry is a plus, but not required.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

What you bring to the position, or have the ability to swiftly learn and be successful in:

• Proficiency in operating and maintaining various analytical chemistry instruments and

equipment, including tools like vacuum filtration, titration, spectroscopy, and

refractometers.

• Experience in safely handling chemicals, with knowledge in handling acids, alkalis,

solvents, oxidizers, their interactions, hazard identification, production methods, and

disposal procedures.

• Hands-on skills in conducting tests and troubleshooting within a laboratory setting.

• Ability to design and create experimental equipment for conducting a wide range of

chemical and physical tests.

• A collaborative mindset, capable of working effectively as part of a diverse and

geographically dispersed team.

• Proficient in effectively communicating technical problems and concepts to both

technical and non-technical audiences through written documents, visual presentations,

and oral communication strategies.
