About the role
- This is a critical operations role, responsible for ensuring that all production processes, documentation, and process flows are optimized for low-cost, high-rate manufacturing at our external Contract Manufacturers (CMs).
- We are seeking people who love to solve hard problems, have a bias for action and extreme task ownership.
Responsibilities
- Manufacturing Strategy & Execution: Define, develop, and implement the manufacturing strategy for LEO satellite payloads and ground terminal systems to achieve high volume, low-cost production goals.
- Process Development & Optimization: Develop, deploy, and maintain robust manufacturing documentation, work instructions, and process flows (including SMT, complex assembly, and production test) that meet quality and rate requirements.
- Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Partner closely with Engineering teams (Electrical, Mechanical, RF, Systems) to influence product design, ensuring manufacturability, testability, and cost-efficiency (DFM/DFT/DFA).
- Integration Management: Collaborate with an external satellite bus partner to develop, document, and maintain the process flows for seamlessly integrating the complex payload systems into the satellite bus vehicle.
- Yield & Quality Improvement: Analyze manufacturing data (yields, cycle times, non-conformance reports) to identify root causes of issues and implement corrective actions across the CM and internal processes.
- Production Readiness: Drive Material Readiness Reviews (MRR) and Production Readiness Reviews (PRR) to ensure all components, tooling, documentation, and processes are in place for successful production ramps.
- Define, develop, and implement the manufacturing strategy for LEO satellite payloads and ground terminal systems to achieve high volume, low-cost production goals.
- Develop, deploy, and maintain robust manufacturing documentation, work instructions, and process flows (including SMT, complex assembly, and production test) that meet quality and rate requirements.
- Partner closely with Engineering teams (Electrical, Mechanical, RF, Systems) to influence product design, ensuring manufacturability, testability, and cost-efficiency (DFM/DFT/DFA).
- Collaborate with an external satellite bus partner to develop, document, and maintain the process flows for seamlessly integrating the complex payload systems into the satellite bus vehicle.
Requirements
- U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data.
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical discipline with equivalent experience.
- 5+ years of experience in manufacturing, production engineering, or in an operations role for complex electrical or aerospace hardware.
- Proven experience managing external Contract Manufacturers (CMs) for high-volume production.
Nice to have
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical discipline
- 7+ years of experience in high-rate manufacturing environments (e.g., aerospace, defense, automotive, or high-volume electronics).
- Direct experience with the manufacturing and/or integration of satellite systems, RF/microwave electronics, or ground terminal equipment.
- Deep understanding of quality methodologies (e.g., Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing) and experience implementing them in a production setting.
- Experience with ERP/MES systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Plex) for managing production data, BOMs, and traceability.
- Familiarity with systems involving complex power management, network architectures, and advanced antenna technologies (like Phased Arrays).
- Strong project management skills and experience leading cross-functional teams in a fast-paced environment.
- Logos Space Services is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering creativity, curiosity and diverse perspectives among employees.
Skills
- Speed and reliability are the foundation of the system.
Compensation
- This policy applies with regard to all aspects of one's employment, including hiring, transfer, promotion, compensation, eligibility for benefits, and termination.
Company info
- We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Production Manufacturing Lead to oversee the manufacturing execution of our cutting-edge Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite payload and ground terminal systems.
