    Description

    Thermal Engineer

    EVA Power Avionics Control · Webster, Texas

    OVERVIEW: Axiom Space is the commercial leader in human spaceflight and on-orbit research & manufacturing services, steered by a team of experts and guided by the vision of a thriving home in space that benefits every human, everywhere. Axiom provides unprecedented access to the International Space Station today while building and operating its successor – the world's first international commercial space station – to improve life on Earth and foster possibilities beyond it.
