Job Summary
Manufacturing Engineer Build the Future of Space-Ready Hardware
Location: El Segundo Full-Time Manufacturing & Production
At the cutting edge of deployable space hardware were building something thats never been done at scale: lightweight ultra-thin deployable reflectors for spacecraft. As a Manufacturing Engineer youll turn that vision into realityowning the process from hands-on prototyping to high-rate production.
This isnt a job for the sidelines. Youll be deep in the details solving real-world problems and helping us go from one successful build to thousands of flight-ready units.
What Youll Do
Own the production of ultra-thin deployable reflectorsstarting with our first spacecraft and scaling for future missions.
Work closely with design test and engineering teams to create manufacturing processes that are precise repeatable and efficient.
Design for manufacturabilityturning engineering theory into space-qualified hardware ready for real-world deployment.
Build and iterate quicklyhands-on in the lab testing what works improving what doesnt and getting us flight-ready.
Play a critical role in helping us scale to high-volume high-quality production without compromising performance.
What You Bring
Experience working with ultra-thin or lightweight materials especially in precision applications.
Hands-on mindsetyoure comfortable with tools fixtures and solving mechanical challenges in the field.
Demonstrated ability to build production processes from scratch with a focus on repeatability throughput and quality.
Strong attention to detail and the ability to balance speed with craftsmanship.
Bonus: Familiarity with deployable structures solar sails or aerospace-grade composites is a plus.
Why This Role Matters
The hardware you build will fly. It will reflect deploy and perform in some of the most demanding environments imaginable. Your work will directly shape our ability to scale from prototype to orbitand help define a new category of space systems manufacturing.
Were also open to unconventional backgrounds. If youre results-driven relentlessly curious and passionate about making hardware real we want to hear from you.
Dont just build for spacebuild something that gets there.
Apply noweven if your background doesnt match every bullet. Exceptional people rarely fit inside checklists.
