Job Description:

As part of a diverse and hardworking team of manufacturing engineers, we provide technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Our responsibilities include translating engineering intent, drawings, and configurations into fully functional hardware ready for test, qualification, and flight. Throughout the manufacturing process, we are responsible to improve quality, reduce cost, and to optimize build sequence. Our team also creates, interprets, and modifies work instructions and routings to convey procedures to technicians and trigger material planning.

General Responsibilities:

• Develop manufacturing work instructions to clearly define the following manufacturing processes: fabrication, assembly, test, integration, and refurbishment.
• Manage quality, build sequence, and schedule for hardware manufacturing processes.
• Perform engineering drawing impact assessments, reviews and approvals for manufacturing.
• Design proper material handling and packaging solutions to protect hardware.
• Manage hardware configuration and steward build and test pedigrees.
• Lead efforts to identify, develop, and deploy designs and methodologies that improve operational excellence through quality, cost, design, and process improvements.
• Support the manufacturing floor in assembly and installation, compliance to engineering requirements, discrepancy resolution, and component acceptance testing.
• Perform a hands-on engineering and liaison role between our design, test, and operations teams and our manufacturing customers.
• Investigate root causes, disposition vehicle discrepancies, and take ownership of preventative and corrective actions.
• Drive design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA) into design

Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Electrical, Chemical, or Aerospace Engineering.
• 7 or more years direct manufacturing and manufacturing engineering experience.
• Understanding of engineering fundamentals for mechanical design and manufacturing including solid understanding of GD&T.
• Proficiency in business and engineering software (CAD, PLM, Scheduling, MSOffice, Windchill, etc).
• Ability to develop processes compliant to industry quality systems such as AS9100.
• Attentive and responsive with strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Experience with Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA)
• A demonstrated ability to work cooperatively with teams of diverse skills across large geographic distances.
• Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion.

Desired:

• Aerospace/Launch vehicle experience.
• Broad experience in hardware manufacturing: welding, assembly, integration, instrumentation, cleaning, packaging, fabrication, machining, etc.
• General proficiency with CAD.
• Experience with Manufacturing Execution Systems/Software and processes
• Knowledge of fabrication processes, integration processes, systems engineering practices, test, quality, and configuration management systems
• Understanding and applied experiences in Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma
• Familiar with applicable industry standards
