About the role
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.
As a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, you'll own the production processes that build our satellites - from process design and validation through ramp to rate. You'll drive yield, cycle-time, and throughput, lead new product introduction, and specify the equipment and tooling that let us scale. This is a hands-on role for someone who has owned high-rate manufacturing processes in production and wants to build a manufacturing engineering function from a strong foundation. This position reports to the Manufacturing Engineering leadership team.
What you'll be doing:
- Own manufacturing processes for satellite production lines - from process design and validation through ramp to rate.
- Develop work instructions, routings, tooling, and fixtures that make builds repeatable and high-yield.
- Drive yield, cycle-time, and throughput improvements using data, root-cause analysis, and structured problem-solving.
- Lead new product introduction (NPI) - partnering with design on manufacturability (DFM) and a smooth transition to production.
- Specify, justify, and commission production equipment, automation, and capacity expansions.
- Lead continuous improvement (Lean, Six Sigma, 5S) and resolve production issues on the floor.
- Mentor junior engineers and technicians, and set manufacturing engineering standards.
