About the role

  • Application close date: Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.
  • Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!

Responsibilities

  • Design tooling, fixtures, handling equipment, and Ground Support Equipment supporting efficient manufacturing, assembly, integration, and test of flight hardware, with an emphasis on modularity, usability, and rapid implementation.
  • Work directly with cross-functional teams, including design engineering, manufacturing engineering, technicians, quality, and operations, to develop new or revised build processes, tooling concepts, and concepts of operations.
  • Plan for and support builds of engineering demonstrators, test articles, and prototype hardware, providing hands-on support during fabrication, assembly, and testing to validate manufacturing approaches.
  • Drive Design for Excellence (DFX) principles, conduct producibility assessments, support trade studies, and develop roadmaps to bridge manufacturing technology gaps.
  • Support tooling fabrication, validation, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient production of lunar vehicle hardware.
  • We're working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion.
