Join our diverse team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!

As part of a diverse and hardworking team of Manufacturing Engineers, you will be the Lunar Manufacturing Engineer focal for tubing. You will assist with translating engineering design, drawings, and configurations into fully functional hardware ready for test, qualification, and flight by acting as the manufacturing engineering liaison between the tubing design engineering team and the tubing production team. You will also assist with implementing techniques to maximize the manufacturability and producibility of tubing assemblies. Additionally, you will be responsible for integration of the tubing at the module and flight vehicle levels of the space vehicle production build.

In this role, you will also identify, develop, and deploy methods to improve quality, reduce cost, and optimize build sequence and schedules throughout the product lifecycle process. As an integral member of the team, you will also use data to drive process improvements, relay engineering requirements, and support manufacturing process development.

We are a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedication and detailed attention toward safe and repeatable space flight.
