Sobre este puesto de Optical Manufacturing Engineer en Espace

Espace · Presencial · Arlington, TX

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you've come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We're intentional, we're unapologetically curious and we're 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

The E-Space Manufacturing team builds the world's most advanced aerospace products at high rate and high precision.

 

What you'll be doing:

  • Own new product introduction and build production processes for optical communication assemblies from first concept, developing new process flows rather than sustaining an existing line

  • Design and implement development and production test procedures for optical communication assemblies, and own the reliability numbers those procedures produce

  • Direct manufacturers and suppliers on process improvements that raise optical system reliability, and own the outcome of those changes

  • Drive corrective actions and process improvements on owned processes and products, and stand behind the fix

  • Lead root cause investigations on non-conforming hardware and own the reliability improvements that come out of them

  • Negotiate and own manufacturability and reliability feedback directly with design teams, closing the loop between design intent and what actually builds

  • Identify trends across production data and decide where to optimize output, quality, and cost of manufacturability

  • Collaborate with optical, electromechanical, and supply chain partners to keep process changes aligned across the program

  • Step into adjacent electromechanical or supplier quality engineering work whenever the program needs it, since at this size no discipline stays fully siloed

What you will bring to this role:

  • A working grasp of mechanical or optical engineering, physics, or a related technical discipline, applied to a real hardware program

  • 2+ years owning mechanical or electromechanical design, analysis, testing, or manufacturing work, including internships, co-ops, or club projects you can point to today

  • 3+ years hands-on building optical system assemblies, with specific parts you took from design into production

  • Owned the assembly of free space optics including lenses, prisms, and mirrors, and can describe your calls on insertion loss, return loss, coatings, optical bonding, optics cleaning, or optical alignment

  • Built, aligned, and maintained a free space optical test setup that you can name and describe

  • Owned a process in a high volume production environment (consumer goods, automotive, or similar) from qualification through steady state output

  • Owned environmental testing of an optical assembly and the resulting data

  • Applied statistical process control to a real production line and can describe the decisions it drove

  • Delivered hardware end to end in a fast paced, cross functional environment, and can point to what shipped and what your role
was
 

Bonus Points:

  • Designed tooling for high volume manufacturing that is running in production today

  • Built and deployed automation into a production process, and can describe what changed

  • Integrated electromechanical assemblies across both manual and automated production lines

  • Owned a supplier or contract manufacturer relationship and drove it to a defined performance bar

  • Used SolidWorks and Duro, or another CAD or PLM system, to own a design or configuration record

  • Defined requirements for an ERP, MRP, or MES system that a team still uses

  • Challenged your own assumption or a stated requirement on a real design

  • Put in extended hours or weekends when a real mission deadline called for it on a past program, and can describe what was on the line

Additional Requirements

This is a fast-paced, high-impact environment - flexibility to occasionally work extended hours or weekends during critical periods is expected.

Why E-Space is right for you:

As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in driving our success. Our team members have a strong sense of dedication and responsibility; this includes a strong commitment to our mission to create an entirely new suite of global capabilities to improve lives, business efficiencies and build a smarter planet. This means that there will be times when extra hours, including nights and weekends, may be needed to meet critical deadlines and mission goals. In return, we offer a dynamic work environment with opportunities for professional growth and development and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a high-growth industry.

We want you to make the most of your journey at E-Space. That's why we support and invest in the physical, emotional and financial well-being of our team members and their families. Some of what you can expect when working at E-Space:

  • An opportunity to really make a difference
  • Sustainability at our core
  • Fair and honest workplace
  • Innovative thinking is encouraged
  • Competitive salaries
  • Continuous learning and development
