Role Overview
Canada Rocket Company is building a sovereign launch capability for Canada. As a mechanical technician at the Canada Rocket Company’s rocket test facility you would serve as the hands-on backbone of propulsion testing operations. This role is responsible for assembling, installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting facility systems, aerospace components, turbomachinery, and a 700 kN rocket engine. Day to day, this involves mounting test articles and engines onto test stands, installing sensors and instrumentation, torquing fittings to precise specifications, and performing leak checks to ensure systems can safely handle cryogenic fuel and oxidizer under extreme pressures and temperatures. The technician works closely with test engineers to prepare for hot-fire campaigns, conducting pre-test inspections, supporting valve and actuator calibrations, and verifying that every mechanical interface meets stringent safety and quality standards. Because rocket testing carries inherent hazards, attention to detail and strict adherence to procedures are essential—a single overlooked connection or improperly torqued bolt can jeopardize both expensive hardware and personnel safety. Beyond test execution, the role often includes post-test teardown, hardware inspection for damage or wear, refurbishment, and documentation, all of which contribute to the iterative process of developing and qualifying reliable propulsion systems.
