Careers at Anka Space

Why Join Anka Space?

At Anka Space, we are not just building rockets—we are shaping the future of space travel. Our mission is to develop reusable rocket technology that will make spaceflight more accessible and affordable.

We are a team of driven, hands-on individuals who thrive on challenges and believe in pushing boundaries. If you want to work in an environment where execution matters more than PowerPoints, where ideas turn into real hardware, and where you can have a direct impact on the future of spaceflight, this is the place for you.

What You'll Gain

At Anka Space, you'll gain hands-on experience working directly on hardware, design, testing, and integration—no endless paperwork, just real work that flies.

You'll be part of a fast-paced environment alongside engineers, entrepreneurs, and visionaries who are obsessed with getting things done. We value execution, giving you the opportunity to take ownership and make a direct impact from day one.

This isn't about maintaining the status quo—we are here to build the next generation of rockets and space infrastructure.

Who We're Looking For

We need problem solvers, builders, and risk-takers—people who don't wait for permission to innovate.

If you thrive in fast-moving environments and want to be part of a team that's actually building hardware, you belong here.

Open Positions

Propulsion Engineer

We are seeking a highly driven Propulsion Engineer to design, develop, and integrate a pressure-fed LOX-based propellant feed system for our first reusable rocket prototype. In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring the reliable delivery of propellants into an existing rocket engine—already designed and built—and for seamlessly integrating that engine into the overall vehicle structure.

Responsibilities

  • • Propellant Feed System Design - Develop and optimize the pressure-fed LOX propellant feed system
  • • Engine Integration - Work closely with teams to integrate the existing rocket engine into the vehicle
  • • Performance Verification - Plan and oversee ground tests to validate feed system performance
  • • Failure Analysis & Rapid Iteration - Diagnose and address propellant flow issues
  • • Cross-Functional Collaboration - Coordinate with structural, mechanical, and avionics teams

Qualifications

  • • Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
  • • Hands-on experience with liquid rocket engines (preferably LOX-based)
  • • Experience with high-pressure fluid systems and propellant handling
  • • Proficiency in propulsion system modeling & simulation tools
  • • Experience designing and executing static fire tests

Avionics Engineer

We're looking for an Avionics Engineer to spearhead the design, integration, and testing of our rocket's electronic systems. In this critical role, you'll ensure the guidance, navigation, and control systems operate flawlessly, enabling the rocket to achieve its autonomous flight goals.

Responsibilities

  • • Design, develop, and integrate avionics systems including sensors and flight computers
  • • Work with Control Systems Engineer to implement autonomous flight algorithms
  • • Ensure reliable telemetry and data transmission for real-time monitoring
  • • Troubleshoot hardware-software integration issues
  • • Develop safety protocols for electronic systems

Qualifications

  • • U.S. citizen or U.S. permanent resident
  • • Degree in aerospace, electrical, or computer engineering
  • • Hands-on experience with avionics systems or embedded systems
  • • Proficiency with MATLAB, C/C++, or PCB design software
  • • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • • Team player with collaborative mindset

Mechanical Engineer – Rocket Systems

(Landing, Valves, Gimbal Integration)

We are seeking Mechanical Engineers to design and integrate critical mechanical components for our first reusable rocket prototype. This role involves working on landing legs, high-pressure valves, structural reinforcements, and possibly the gimbal system for thrust vector control.

Responsibilities

  • • Landing System Design: Develop lightweight, impact-resistant landing legs
  • • Valve & Fluid System Integration: Work on high-pressure LOX/Kerosene fuel valves
  • • Structural Optimization: Design lightweight but strong load-bearing components
  • • Gimbal System (Optional): Assist in designing thrust vector control mechanisms
  • • Vibration & Load Testing: Simulate mechanical stress under extreme conditions
  • • Manufacturing & Prototyping: Work with CNC machining and 3D printing

Qualifications

  • • Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
  • • Experience in mechanical system design, preferably for aerospace applications
  • • Strong understanding of material properties, loads, and failure analysis
  • • Experience with CAD (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or equivalent)
  • • Experience with high-pressure fluid systems, valves, and actuation
