You will define what the facility needs to do, evaluate how to build it, and make the technical case for infrastructure decisions that will shape True Anomaly's test operations for years to come. This means developing detailed test stand requirements, leading trade studies across facility architecture and infrastructure options, and working alongside the Propulsion and Test teams to define test plans and define a facility that is safe, capable, and built to scale. This is a rare opportunity to stand up a new propulsion test capability from a blank sheet and then transition into a recurring role managing propulsion development test programs that come through the facility. RESPONSIBILITIES Test Stand Requirements & Capability Definition  <ul> <li>Develop and own the test stand requirements for True Anomaly's new propulsion test facility, derived from current and anticipated propulsion hardware test needs across the spacecraft and missile defense portfolio. </li> <li>Define test stand performance envelopes: thrust levels, propellant flow rates, operating pressures, temperature ranges, test duration, and data acquisition requirements. </li> <li>Establish requirements for propellant storage and delivery systems, pressurant supply, purge and vent systems, fire suppression, and facility utilities.<span data-ccp-props="{}"&g
