Were seeking an EEE Parts & Materials/Processes Engineer to join our spacecraft engineering this role you will lead EEE & MMPP programs driving procurement screening and qualification of electrical electronic electromechanical and mechanical parts and processes that underpin our spacecraft builds. You will work closely with Design Manufacturing Quality and Procurement teams to integrate EEE and MMPP requirements across the spacecraft lifecycle ensuring reliability resilience and mission success. Your work will directly influence spacecraft reliability and scalability as Kepler grows its constellation.
Given the broad scope of this role success will require not only technical expertise but also curiosity and a strong ability to quickly develop knowledge across new domains.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own procurement screening and qualification of spacecraft EEE and MMPP
- Drive radiation engineering and survivability analysis of TID SEE DD failure modes; define shielding resilience and mitigation strategies across components and materials
- Establish material and process qualifications for adhesives coatings lubricants fasteners and finishes comparing various ECSS NASA MIL and ASTM standards against industry best practices
- Ensure compliance with outgassing thermal/vibration and contamination
- Lead and support verification campaigns (radiation thermal vacuum vibration corrosion) and integrate results into spacecraft design assurance
- Translate mission and system requirements into procurement specs qualification plans and process controls
- Prepare and maintain documentation screening plans and compliance records to standardize practices across builds
- Act as a subject matter expert for failure investigations for parts and processes (e.g. DPA LAT X-ray) and coordinate corrective actions with suppliers and labs
- Work closely with Design Manufacturing Product and Quality assurance and Procurement teams to integrate EEE and MMPP requirements into spacecraft builds
