  • Perform analysis of build non-conformances and chart path forward for low rate prototype hardware.
  • Drive the transition from prototype to production for complex aerospace assemblies. 
  • Ruthlessly question process complexity—delete parts, eliminate waste, simplify flow.

  • Develop and run test procedures for flight hardware. 
  • Serve as a force multiplier across production, test, and design teams. 
  • Requirements:

  • Hands-on experience with physical hardware (internships, labs, project teams all count). 
  • Familiarity with manufacturing processes (machining, welding, forming, etc.) and GD&T fundamentals. 
  • Preferred Skills and Experience:

  • Designed and released flight hardware. 
  • Strong GD&T skills per ASME Y14.5. 
  • Familiarity with Siemens Teamcenter and NX. 
  • Familiarity with NX Nastran and Ansys analysis tools.
  • Familiarity with AWS D17.1 and aerospace welding processes. 
  • Leadership experience on project teams or in mentorship roles.
