Impulse Space
About Impulse Space
Impulse Space builds orbital transfer vehicles that move payloads quickly, affordably and reliably within and across orbits — extending access from LEO to GEO, the Moon and beyond.
Impulse was founded by Tom Mueller, SpaceX's founding propulsion engineer, and it draws people who want to build real flight hardware fast. Engineers describe exceptional technical peers and unusual ownership, taking propulsion, avionics or GNC systems from design to a vehicle that actually flies. Ambitious missions are paired with company ownership for employees and a strong build-and-test culture.
- Founded and led by legendary SpaceX propulsion engineer Tom Mueller.
- Build real flight hardware — the Mira and Helios vehicles — end to end.
- Company ownership/equity and fast, hands-on engineering.
- Well-funded: $500M Series D (Jun 2026) backing 150+ open roles.
