  • Facility Setup and Equipment Selection: Assist in the planning and setup of the satellite manufacturing facility, including cleanroom layout and equipment selection.
  • Evaluate and recommend manufacturing equipment, tools, and fixtures.
  • Oversee the installation, calibration, and maintenance of manufacturing equipment.
  • Process Optimization and Troubleshooting: Monitor and analyze manufacturing processes to identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement.
  • Troubleshoot manufacturing issues and implement corrective actions.
  • Conduct root cause analysis and implement preventive measures to address recurring issues.
  • Documentation and Reporting: Maintain accurate and up-to-date manufacturing documentation, including process records, test reports, and equipment logs.
  • Prepare regular reports on manufacturing performance, process improvements, and progress.
  • Contribute to the creation of 'as-built' documentation for all manufactured hardware.
  • Safety and Compliance: Ensure compliance with all safety regulations, industry standards, and internal quality procedures.
  • Implement and enforce safety protocols in the manufacturing facility to maintain a safe working environment.

  • Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 10 years of experience in manufacturing engineering, with a focus on aerospace, defense, or high-tech industries.
  • Strong understanding of satellite AIT processes, manufacturing principles, process development, and quality control.
  • Experience with space qualification testing procedures and standards, thermal vacuum testing, thermal ambient testing, and vibration testing.
  • Experience with cleanroom procedures and protocols.
  • Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD) and manufacturing simulation tools.
  • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and specifications.
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
Nice to Haves:
  • Master's degree in a relevant field.
  • Experience with lean manufacturing and Six Sigma methodologies.
