Manufacturing Engineer - Spacecraft / Satellite Hardware

We’re hiring a Manufacturing Engineer to support the build of next-generation

spacecraft hardware. You’ll own the path from engineering drawing to flight-ready

hardware - writing the work instructions, owning the build sequence, and driving

manufacturability back into the design.

What you’ll do

• Translate engineering drawings, models, and configurations into manufacturing

work instructions covering receiving inspection, fabrication, assembly,

integration, test, and refurbishment

• Lead DFM/DFA reviews and provide final drawing approval for manufacturing
• Identify and deploy new manufacturing methods to improve quality, reduce cost,

and compress build schedule

• Run FMEA and root cause analysis; disposition non-conformances and support

rework/repair

• Manage build sequence, cost, quality, and schedule across the full build
• Design material handling and packaging to protect hardware through build and test
• Design, procure, install, and integrate custom manufacturing equipment
• Interface with suppliers to ensure hardware is manufactured, packaged, and

delivered on time and on budget

• Maintain hardware configuration and pedigree through build and test

• BS in Mechanical, Electrical, Electromechanical, or Manufacturing Engineering
• 5+ years in manufacturing or production engineering
• Proven experience defining manufacturing process flows and selecting production

equipment for electromechanical hardware

• Strong GD&T, tolerance analysis, precision fits, and structural assembly
• Able to read both mechanical drawings and electrical drawings (schematics,

wiring diagrams, interconnect drawings)

• Solid CAD, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and issue-tracking skills

Nice to have

• Electric motor or rotating electrical machine manufacturing experience
• Avionics, wire harnesses, structures, propulsion, mechanical systems, thermal

systems, or environmental instrumentation

• Experience standing up new production lines or manufacturing cells
• Aerospace, defense, or high-performance hardware development
• Able to obtain a DBIDS or NASA badge

Pay: $64.00 - $64.55 per hour
