Description

  • Collaborate with design engineers early in the development process to ensure manufacturability of initial designs, flight hardware, and tooling.
  • Build the first prototype and finalize the build flow and fixturing for production transition.
  • Develop innovative manufacturing systems for large spacecraft assemblies, including electromechanical subassemblies, harnessing, welded and bolted structures, and mechanisms.
  • Create custom tools and processes to support new manufacturing technologies, including Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software.
  • Demonstrate advanced manufacturing techniques on prototypes and work with design teams to improve product manufacturability.
  • Develop subassembly build flows and iterate them to create an efficient satellite production flow.
  • Partner with advanced manufacturing engineers to research and develop novel manufacturing technologies for current and future spacecraft products.
  • Develop manufacturing methods and tooling for integrated avionics systems.
  • Define manufacturing flows for subsystems and improve the manufacturability of spacecraft components.
  • Implement advanced manufacturing techniques on flight hardware and transition developed technology into production.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical, mechanical, aerospace, or another relevant engineering discipline.
  • 3+ years of experience in a high-volume, rapid production environment in a manufacturing, integration, and/or design engineering role.
  • Demonstrated results in product development and/or process improvements.
  • Experience setting up a manufacturing or production floor for first article builds.
  • Experience designing and implementing technologies for avionics subassembly manufacturing, including wire harness manufacturing and PCBA/mechanical enclosure assembly.
  • Experience designing tooling for mechanical subassemblies and electronics.
  • Experience designing hardware for manufacturability (preferred).
  • Experience developing production processes from the ground up, including driving design improvements for manufacturing (preferred).
  • Experience working closely with technicians and build tooling (preferred).
  • Experience with aerospace manufacturing standards such as soldering standards, torque specifications, welding standards, and quality assurance standards (preferred).
  • Familiarity with CAD software such as NX or equivalent and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) (preferred).
  • Experience working with MES to set up procedure creation and document non-conformances (preferred).
  • Must be a U.S. person or otherwise eligible for a federally issued export control license due to ITAR requirements.

Benefits
