About the role

You will test out new techniques for manufacturing large satellite structures, harnessing, mechanisms, and integrated electronics systems.

Collaborate with design engineers to ensure design for manufacturability for initial design, flight hardware, and tooling
Develop innovative manufacturing systems for large spacecraft assemblies, including electromechanical sub-assemblies, harnessing, welded/bolted structures, and mechanisms
Create custom tools and processes to support the manufacturing technologies you create including Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software
Demonstrate the advanced manufacturing techniques on prototypes, working with the design teams to improve the manufacturability of the designs
Develop the subassembly build flow and iterat e to create an efficient production flow for the satellite
Partner with a team of advanced manufacturing engineers to perform R&D of novel manufacturing technologies for current and future spacecraft products
Building a spacecraft unlike any other requires a team unlike any other and non-traditional career twists and turns are encouraged!

Bachelor's degree in electrical, mechanical, aero space, or other relevant engineering discipline
3+ years of experience in a high volume, rapid production environment in a manufacturing, integration, and/or design engineering role
