Electro-Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer

The role

You will partner with design engineers to ensure manufacturability and build the first prototype. You will develop manufacturing methods, tooling, and build flows for large satellite structures and integrated electronics systems.

What you will do

• Collaborate with design engineers to ensure design for manufacturability for initial design, flight hardware, and tooling
• Develop innovative manufacturing systems for large spacecraft assemblies
• Create custom tools and processes including Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software
• Demonstrate advanced manufacturing techniques on prototypes
• Develop the subassembly build flow and iterate to create an efficient production flow
• Partner with advanced manufacturing engineers to perform R&D of novel manufacturing technologies

Required qualifications

• 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
• Demonstrated results with product development and/or process improvements
• Experience setting up a manufacturing/production floor for first article builds
• Experience designing and implementing technologies for avionics subassembly manufacturing including wire harness manufacturing and PCBA/mechanical enclosure assembly

Nice to have

• Experience designing tooling for mechanical subassemblies and electronics
• Experience designing hardware for manufacturability
• Demonstrated experience developing production processes from the ground up including driving design improvements for manufacturing
• Experience working closely with technicians and build tooling
• Experience with aerospace manufacturing standards such as soldering standards, torque specifications, welding standards, and quality assurance standards
• Familiarity with CAD software (NX or equivalent) and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
• Experience working with MES to set up the foundation for procedure creation and documenting non-conformances

Benefits

• Paid time off
• Medical/dental/vision coverage
• Life insurance
• Paid parental leave
• Many other perks

Before you apply

• Must be a U.S. person as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.15 or otherwise eligible for a federally issued export control license
