We are seeking a hands-on Design Engineer to support our space component manufacturing operations. This role is designed for a professional who enjoys working directly with hardware and collaborating closely with production teams on the manufacturing floor. You will perform professional assignments requiring the application of design concepts, practices, and techniques for highly reliable space hardware production.
The ideal candidate will be highly proficient in designing test systems for rocket engines and electronic testing of propulsion system components. You will work under general supervision to take designs from initial concept through final release, collaborating with engineering staff, procurement, and manufacturing teams to solve production challenges. Your day will involve designing production tooling, test equipment, and automation solutions, as well as building or assisting in building prototype tooling to prove out concepts. You will also interface directly with the production floor to ensure compliance with space industry standards and requirements.
