Job description

Key Responsibilities

  • Define requirements for facility expansion, infrastructure upgrades, and in-house test capabilities to support scaling spacecraft production.
  • Collaborate with subject matter experts to define cleanroom and facility layouts to balance flow and operational efficiency.
  • Assist in measuring production capacity, identifying bottlenecks, and implementing integration improvements to support delivery schedules.
  • Collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams to define tooling, ground support equipment, and automation needs.
  • Develop metrics and dashboards to track production throughput, quality, and operational performance.
  • Help standardize work instructions, procedures, and best practices to transition from one-off builds to a production environment.
  • Drive development and adoption of automated test frameworks, tools, and processes to increase throughput, reduce manual effort, and improve consistency across spacecraft functional test campaigns.
  • Ensure all AIT activities comply with safety, contamination control, and regulatory requirements.

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Industrial Engineering, or related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in spacecraft, aerospace, or complex electromechanical system manufacturing, assembly, or test operations.
  • Experience with cleanroom facility planning, production flow optimization, or manufacturing process development.
  • Familiarity with Lean, Six Sigma, or similar continuous improvement methodologies.
  • Proficiency with SQL or other database query languages and data visualization tools such as Power BI to analyze production, test, and inventory data for process optimization and decision-making.
  • Strong organizational, problem-solving, and data analysis skills.
  • Ability to work collaboratively across engineering, operations, and leadership teams.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting the transition from prototype / one-off spacecraft builds to scalable, production-style integration and test operations.
  • Proven track record implementing standardized processes, work instructions, and best practices across multiple spacecraft programs.
  • Background in production system design, including cleanroom / facility layout optimization, takt time planning, and throughput modeling.
  • Hands-on experience developing and deploying automation tools, fixtures, or ground support equipment to support repeatable builds.
  • Demonstrated ability to balance engineering change management with maintaining production flow in a low-rate, high-complexity environment.
  • Knowledge of scalability challenges unique to spacecraft AIT, including configuration control, contamination control, and cross-program standardization.
  • J-18808-Ljbffr
