About the Team: The Launch team operates at the intersection of every major aspect of Terran R, from stages and payloads to ground systems, launch, landing, and refurbishment. The Cape is the only place where you see it all come together, offering a level of exposure and responsibility unmatched elsewhere in the program. This is where first flights happen, where history is built on top of history, and where the scale of what's underway is unlike anything in modern aerospace. The mission stays the same, but the work evolves with every milestone: from first launch to reuse, high-cadence operations, and beyond. If you're looking to define what's next in space launch and write a new playbook, not just repeat what's already been done, this is where it happens.
About the Role:- Lead instrumentation and controls projects from planning through completion, coordinating schedules, materials, technical requirements, and cross-functional activities to support launch site build and activation.
- Install, verify, calibrate, and troubleshoot sensors and instrumentation used to measure temperature, pressure, flow, displacement, vibration, and other operating conditions.
- Perform technical work independently across instrumentation and controls systems, applying established procedures, engineering requirements, and industry practices to resolve equipment and system issues.
- Collaborate with pad Engineering and other technical teams to identify risks, communicate field conditions, provide feedback, and implement improvements that support safe and reliable system activation.
- Plan and coordinate assigned work by identifying material needs, ordering components, tracking task progress, and maintaining accurate technical documentation.
- Support installation, inspection, troubleshooting, and maintenance activities in field environments, which will require lifting and moving equipment weighing up to 25 pounds.
About You:- Demonstrated experience working with instrumentation, data acquisition, and control systems in an industrial, manufacturing, aerospace, or comparable technical environment.
- Hands-on experience with electronic circuits and sensors used to measure temperature, pressure, flow, displacement, vibration, or similar operating conditions.
- Experience troubleshooting instrumentation and electrical systems using electrical fundamentals, diagnostic procedures, and standard hand and test equipment.
- Experience mentoring or providing technical guidance to technicians on instrumentation, controls, troubleshooting, or related work.
- Working knowledge of oscilloscopes, signal generators, digital multimeters, and other electrical diagnostic equipment.
- Ability to read and interpret blueprints, P&IDs, CAD drawings, electrical diagrams, and circuit schematics to support installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance activities.
Nice to haves but not required: - Experience installing and integrating networked equipment using communication protocols and interfaces such as Ethernet, RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, Modbus, CAN bus, or comparable systems.
- Experience with electrical harnessing and termination methods, including use of MIL-STD-type connectors, wiring, or fiber-optic communication components.
- Familiarity with intrinsically safe instrumentation and installation practices for hazardous or classified locations.
