The Tube Manufacturing team is responsible for working alongside the vehicle design and test teams to develop hardware that enables Terran R reusability, working in a variety of processes to manufacture fluids systems hardware for the vehicle. The team is looking for a Manufacturing Engineer to own the following scope: advocate for scalable manufacturing in product design trades and reviews, build flow planning, large-volume part logistics, tooling design, conceptualizing & sourcing, fast-paced issue dispositions, and complex mechanical assembly work planning and execution.
- Conceptualize, develop, and stand up a cutting-edge bending and welding work cell capable of meeting the demanding requirements of the AeonR and TerranR programs.
- Drive assembly first build and test efforts through design for manufacturability guidance, assembly sequencing, mBOM development, build and test work order creation, and specification authoring.
- Implement innovative tooling solutions for both new and existing products, streamlining production to support increased output while reducing operational complexity.
- Establish and enforce standard practices, troubleshooting guides, and standardized repair procedures, with a key responsibility of reviewing and approving planning documents.
- Streamline and optimize existing production systems, proactively identifying areas for cost reduction while enhancing overall quality and efficiency.
- Demonstrate ingenuity and autonomy by introducing novel ideas and implementing them with utmost attention to safety, quality, and reliability, ensuring timely completion of projects.
About You: - Bachelor of Science degree in aerospace, mechanical, or manufacturing engineering.
- Minimum of 2+ years of experience building and testing hardware in a manufacturing environment (may include internship experience)
- Experience interfacing with design engineering, manufacturing, and production personnel.
- Extensive experience managing large scope of ownership.
- Extensive experience authoring work instructions and/or test procedures for mechanical and/or fluid assemblies.
- Self-starter that has demonstrated the ability to define and own a process from scratch and roll out that process through clear communication to a diverse team.
Nice to haves but not required: - Understanding of orbital tube welding (OTW), tube bending, TIG welding, metallic fabrication, assembly procedures, and tooling design.
- Strong understanding GD&T and drafting principles.
- Working knowledge of typical manufacturing execution systems and quality management systems.
- Working knowledge of rocket subsystems including structures, mechanisms, high pressure gas systems, and/or avionics.
