Job Description
About the Team:
The mission of the Engine Manufacturing department is to deliver high-performing products and innovative manufacturing systems while driving continuous improvements in cost, quality, and lead time. Through cross-functional collaboration, high levels of accountability, and a focus on safety we play a crucial role in building our reusable rocket, Terran-R. We are responsible for providing design feedback on new hardware iterations, pioneering and implementing advanced manufacturing methods and systems, and ultimately delivering engine and vehicle hardware for testing prior to launch. Over the past year, the Engine Manufacturing Team has successfully developed, iterated, and delivered processes and hardware for the first Aeon-R development engines. Now, we are entering a critical phase: producing flight engines that will pave the way for Terran-R's inaugural launch to orbit.
About the Role:
As a Propulsion Manufacturing Engineer, you will own and develop the processes for fabricating, testing and integrating Aeon engines and their subassemblies. You will serve as the main point-of-contact between the manufacturing and design teams as we optimize and pioneer development of the Aeon-R engine. This role will directly impact the evolution of human spaceflight.
- Work with design engineers to ensure as-built hardware meet all aspects of the intended design, with a focus towards manufacturability and integration.
- Develop processes and procedures for post-processing of 3D printed parts and recommend design adaptations to improve reliability and throughput.
- Manage relationships with external suppliers and ensuring on-time delivery of hardware.
About You:
- Degree in engineering or related technical field and 6+ years of relevant experience
- Ability to effectively investigate, resolve and screen hardware non-conformances
- Ability to drive failure investigation efforts, root cause analysis and implementation of corrective action(s)
- Ability to work with and train technicians
- Ability to work with vendors to get parts made quickly and reliably
- Knowledge of general assembly and test procedures, including tolerance stack-up analysis, structural proof testing and pressurized leak checks
Nice to haves but not required:
- Experience leading a small team
- Experience in a startup or agile development environment
- Experience working in a propulsion development program
