As part of a small, passionate, and accomplished team of experts, you will be responsible for developing new rocket engine turbomachinery component manufacturing and assembly processes. As a Manufacturing Engineer, you will translate engineering intent, drawings, and configurations into fully functional turbomachinery hardware ready for test, qualification, and flight. Throughout the manufacturing process, you will also identify, develop, and deploy methods to improve quality, reduce cost, and optimize the build sequence and schedules of turbopumps and rotating equipment. As an integral member of the team, you will conduct DFMA and PFMEA studies to strengthen the feedback loop between design, build, and test and accelerate the pace of rocket engine development.
Additional responsibilities include:
Develop new turbomachinery component manufacturing processes
Drive and enhance turbomachinery assembly processes
Translate engineering intent, drawings, and configurations into fully functional hardware
Define how to prepare turbopumps for test, qualification, and flight
Identify, develop, and deploy new manufacturing methods (or refine existing) to improve quality, reduce cost, and optimize build schedule
Conduct DFMA and PFMEA studies to strengthen the feedback loop between design, build, and test
Develop manufacturing work instructions to clearly define the following manufacturing process: receiving inspection, fabrication, assembly, test, integration, and refurbishment
Closely manage manufacturing and build sequences, and support schedule development of hardware throughout the entire manufacturing process
Perform engineering drawing review and provide final approval for manufacturing
Develop process control measures and evaluation through statistical analysis
Define and support repair and rework activities of turbomachinery hardware
Design, procure, install, and integrate custom manufacturing equipment
Interface with external suppliers and manufacturing partners to ensure that hardware and equipment is manufactured, processed, packaged, and delivered properly to support engine builds
Support and perform root cause analyses when non-conformances and escapes are identified and deploy corrective actions
Design proper material handling and packaging to protect hardware throughout the build and test process
Manage hardware configuration and maintain pedigree throughout the entire build and test process
We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required
