## Description

As a Senior Propulsion Manufacturing Engineer, you will oversee the production of the propulsion subsystem for high-orbit satellites. You will be responsible for the production of advanced propulsion components, getting them assembled into a subsystem, and integrating that subsystem onto the vehicle. This is a highly cross-functional role that will require you to meet stakeholder and industry requirements while hitting aggressive cost and schedule requirements.

Key responsibilities include:

- Managing the production of a propulsion subsystem, including an advanced welded assembly, for use in a high-orbit satellite application

- Designing and building, or sourcing, all tooling and equipment necessary to build propulsion components and assemble advanced propulsion subsystems

- Building the factory that builds satellites - managing complex infrastructure targets to upgrade and maintain our capabilities

- Developing manufacturing processes that meet rigorous internal and external standards

- Working closely with other teams to deliver your subsystem on time and at our expected quality

Requirements include:

- Bachelor of Science degree in a technical discipline (e.g. engineering, physics)

- 5+ years of industry experience in propulsion, space vehicles, or high-precision welding

- Highly Proficient in Computer Aided Design (CAD), and proven experience delivering products that you've personally designed and built

- A passion for manufacturing, including working in a fast-paced environment and doing hands-on design/development

- Demonstrated ability of personally managing advanced manufacturing products

- Must be onsite 5 days a week

Bonus requirements include:

- Direct experience in Manufacturing Engineering, Weld Engineering, or Integration Engineering roles

- Direct experience with Robotic Welding, Automated Welding, or Orbital Tube Welding equipment

- Specific experience manufacturing, testing, or designing precision welded assemblies, electric propulsion systems, or chemical space propulsion systems

- Deep knowledge in Machining, Welding, or Fixture/ Tool & Die design

- Experience with Manufacturing Engineering Software (MES) or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

- Strong understanding of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)

- Familiarity with reading and interpreting industry standards and specifications (AWS D17.1, MIL-STDs, AS/NAS component specifications)

- Familiarity with Pressurized Systems operation and construction

- Familiarity with Reliability and Mission Assurance best practices
