🛠 Tech Stack

💼 About This Role

You'll own the mechanical assembly processes that turn satellite designs into flight-ready hardware. You will define how structures and mechanisms are built, design tooling for safety and repeatability, and support technicians on the floor. This role closes the loop between drawings, fixtures, and real spacecraft hardware.

🎯 What You'll Do

• Develop mechanical assembly process flows and work instructions for satellite structures and mechanisms.
• Design jigs, fixtures, lifting devices, and alignment tools to improve safety and efficiency.
• Perform DFM/DFA reviews with design engineering and feed shop-floor lessons learned.
• Support technicians on the line, resolving fit-up, tolerance, and interference issues in real time.
• Define in-process inspections and torque/adhesive/bonding steps; coordinate with quality.

📋 Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Manufacturing Engineering or equivalent experience.
• 4+ years of mechanical assembly experience for satellites or complex aerospace hardware.
• Strong proficiency reading mechanical drawings and GD&T.
• Demonstrated experience with fasteners, torqueing, bonding, and precision assembly.
• Experience creating and maintaining assembly work instructions.

✨ Nice to Have

• Experience with composite and metallic space structures and deployable mechanisms.
• Familiarity with crane/rigging and MGSE for large space hardware.
• Experience applying lean manufacturing principles in low-rate production.

🎁 Benefits & Perks

• 🏖️ Paid Time Off: 4 weeks paid time off plus paid sick leave.
• 💼 Equity: Competitive salary and equity packages.
• 🏥 Health Coverage: Medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance.
