About the role

This role sits at the intersection of materials science, engineering, production, quality, and supply chain, with responsibility spanning material systems, process definition, producibility, inspection, and failure investigation.

Characterize and evaluate material behaviour relevant to design and manufacturing.
Define, develop, optimize, and control fabrication processes for hardware.
Develop manufacturing plans, traveler documents, work instructions, build sequences, and process flows that enable safe, repeatable, efficient fabrication of flight hardware.
Drive design-for-manufacture and design-for-assembly reviews with engineering teams.
Partner closely with design, structures, propulsion, fluids, and integration teams to ensure metallic hardware concepts are aligned with real process capability, source availability, and production constraints.
Support development and maturation of key manufacturing methods Work with operations and supply chain teams to identify, qualify, and mature suppliers for critical raw materials, forgings, and fabricated components.
Support sourcing decisions with an understanding of material pedigree, domestic or allied source considerations, lead times, certifiability, traceability, and long-term scalability.
Lead or support failure analysis and manufacturing investigations Resolve shop-floor and production issues including non-conformances, rework paths, process escapes, yield issues, and fabrication anomalies.

Experience in manufacturing engineering, materials engineering, or process engineering for metallic aerospace hardware or similarly demanding hardware environments.
Strong understanding of metallic material systems, including how alloy choice, product form, temper or heat treatment condition, and processing history affect performance, manufacturability, durability, and cost.
Strong communication and technical judgment, with the ability to make sound decisions that balance performance, manufacturability, schedule, scalability, and cost.
Hands-on experience with aluminum alloy structures, welded assemblies, machined components, formed shells, machined manifolds, pressure-containing hardware, or thermally demanding metallic components.
Experience with welding process development or qualification, including fusion welding, friction stir welding, brazing, or other relevant aerospace joining methods.
Experience with both additive manufacturing processes and traditional machining and joining methods.
Experience with source qualification and supplier development for metallic raw material and fabrication processes.
Familiarity with NDT/NDE methods relevant to metallic and composite hardware.

We utilize a 750 kN engine that scales from light- to medium-lift via engine clustering.
We test early and often, catching problems on the bench instead of at the pad.
Select, qualify, and control material systems for vehicle applications.
Contribute to technical reviews, trade studies, and development planning related to materials, manufacturing methods, production scaling, and hardware risk reduction.
