Role OverviewThe Mechanical Engineer role covers design for manufacturability concepts through integration and testing of critical launch pad components. You will be highly engaged on the primary and secondary structures of the launch mount and tower, including designing tooling and processes to rapidly build early versions of the tower and launch mount.
What You Will Do
Develop production procedures/processes, manage the transition of parts and assemblies from development to production, execute design for manufacturability changes to enhance production efficiency, and lead the on-site design engineering contact for the efficient build of parts and assemblies.
Why It Might Be a Fit
You will be responsible for documenting processes and driving continual improvement to them for future builds, and will sometimes act as de facto supervisors and advisors to production technicians, welders, and other skilled labor partners.
