The E-Space Manufacturing team builds the world's most advanced aerospace products at high rate and high precision.
As a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, you'll own the production processes that build our satellites - from process design and validation through ramp to rate. You'll drive yield, cycle-time, and throughput, lead new product introduction, and specify the equipment and tooling that let us scale. This is a hands-on role for someone who has owned high-rate manufacturing processes in production and wants to build a manufacturing engineering function from a strong foundation. This position reports to the Manufacturing Engineering leadership team.
What you'll be doing:- Own manufacturing processes for satellite production lines - from process design and validation through ramp to rate.
- Develop work instructions, routings, tooling, and fixtures that make builds repeatable and high-yield.
- Drive yield, cycle-time, and throughput improvements using data, root-cause analysis, and structured problem-solving.
- Lead new product introduction (NPI) - partnering with design on manufacturability (DFM) and a smooth transition to production.
- Specify, justify, and commission production equipment, automation, and capacity expansions.
- Lead continuous improvement (Lean, Six Sigma, 5S) and resolve production issues on the floor.
- Mentor junior engineers and technicians, and set manufacturing engineering standards.
What you will bring to this role:- 5+ years of manufacturing or process engineering experience in a high-rate production environment.
- Proven ownership of process design, validation, and ramp for complex electromechanical products.
- Strong DFM, GD&T, and root-cause / problem-solving skills (8D, DMAIC, PFMEA).
- Experience specifying and commissioning production equipment, tooling, and fixtures.
- Hands-on, data-driven, and comfortable leading on the production floor.
- BS in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or related Engineering, or equivalent.
Extra points for the following:- Aerospace, PV / solar, thin-film, or electronics manufacturing background.
- Lean / Six Sigma certification (Green or Black Belt).
- Experience integrating automation and robotic cells into production.
- Familiarity with MES / ERP systems and statistical process control (SPC).
