Salary$97000 – $124300
TypeFull-Time
DegreesBachelor’s
Experience LevelEntry Level/New Grad, Junior

Requirements

  • Degree in engineering or a related technical field, with hands-on experience building and testing hardware in a manufacturing or integration environment
  • Skilled at investigating hardware issues, resolving non-conformances, and driving root cause analysis with corrective actions implemented effectively
  • Familiar with general assembly and test procedures, including tolerance stack-up analysis, structural proof testing, and pressurized leak checks
  • Comfortable interfacing across design, manufacturing, supply chain, and test teams to ensure hardware quality and schedule alignment
  • Self-starter who can define and roll out new processes from scratch, working collaboratively with technicians, engineers, and external vendors
  • Proficient in GD&T, CAD, and basic design or test analysis, with experience in at least two of the following: LOX cleanliness, leak checking, sensor checkouts, tube bending, tool design, crane operations, or subassembly builds

Responsibilities

  • Own hardware from design release through build, test, and delivery for engine or vehicle systems, taking full responsibility for execution readiness and product quality across subassemblies and integrated systems
  • Develop and release detailed build flows, work instructions, and test procedures to enable repeatable, high-quality execution across first builds and maturing programs
  • Support first article builds in a fast-paced environment, focusing on manufacturability, repeatability, and quality, while developing scalable processes that enable a smooth ramp to higher production rates
  • Provide hands-on floor support during build and test, resolving issues in real time, incorporating technician feedback, and driving continuous improvement across hardware flow and process discipline
  • Coordinate across design, supply chain, production, and test teams to ensure part readiness, tooling availability, schedule alignment, and smooth handoffs between build stages
  • Contribute to the development of long-term manufacturing systems and infrastructure, including tooling strategies, ERP/MES workflows, and production documentation standards

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting new aerospace product introduction or transitioning hardware from prototype to production, especially in a high-rate or scaling environment
  • Experience directly authoring and executing test procedures, including acting as a test conductor for integrated system verification
  • Familiarity with hazardous operations, fluid system safety, or test execution involving pressurized or high-risk environments
  • Experience in a fast-paced and lean environment, including direct vendor engagement, tool development, or leading a small team through an ambiguous build or test effort
