Venus Aerospace is a startup developing rotating detonation rocket engines (RDRE) for hypersonic weapons and high-speed space vehicles.
Who We Are: Venus Aerospace is revolutionizing rocket engine propulsion. With the first generational leap in rocket engine technology since Apollo, our proprietary Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine and Venus Detonation Ramjets deliver historic efficiency and performance across aerospace applications. We are building the next generation of propulsion platforms that enable breakthrough capabilities in space, defense, and commercial high-speed flight. Our team thrives on solving the toughest engineering challenges and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in aerospace. At Venus, we’re looking for bold engineers and innovators who want to make history and redefine the future of propulsion. The Role: CNC Programmer This is a hands-on, high-impact opportunity for an experienced CNC Programmer who wants to build complex, precision hardware in a fast-moving, engineering-driven environment. You’ll take ownership of advanced multi-axis machining work, turning challenging designs into high-quality components. Beyond running machines, you’ll partner closely with engineering, influence manufacturing strategy, and help elevate shop standards in quality, safety, and performance. If you’re motivated by technical challenge, tight tolerances, and meaningful hardware, this role offers real ownership and growth.
