Top Engineering Jobs

Manufactures and integrates environmental control and life support fluid hardware for human-rated space stations. Responsibilities include defining assembly processes, authoring work instructions, supporting testing, resolving manufacturing and tolerance issues, designing tooling, managing nonconformances, improving production metrics, training technicians, and supporting supplier readiness. The role works hands-on with water, air, thermal, and pressurized gas systems in a shop-floor environment.

Own build reliability for flight avionics hardware across its lifecycle. Lead readiness criteria, manufacturing process maturation, quality reviews, risk retirement, root-cause investigations, containment, corrective actions, cost reduction, and cross-functional alignment across engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and mission assurance. Analyze build data, improve process controls, support mission-critical events, and mentor teams while ensuring reliable production and flight readiness for human-rated space station systems.

Designs, builds, commissions, and troubleshoots automated avionics test systems for human-rated space stations. Develops component and system test cases, validates results, leads design reviews, documents systems, and supports operator handover. The role also contributes to automated test framework architecture, Hardware-in-the-Loop interfaces, and team-wide debugging and coaching. It requires collaboration with responsible engineers and subject matter experts across spacecraft development.

Owns end-to-end thermal control system test campaigns for human-rated space station hardware, including test planning, GSE design, assembly, instrumentation, execution, data analysis, and closeout. Performs hands-on testing of fluid and thermal components, resolves technical issues through root-cause analysis, supports design and test reviews, collaborates with engineering and manufacturing teams, and mentors junior engineers.

Designs and owns high-reliability crew avionics hardware for human-rated space stations. Responsibilities include electrical specifications, trade studies, multilayer PCB design, schematic capture, signal and power integrity analysis, simulation, hardware testing, troubleshooting, environmental qualification, documentation, and cross-functional integration. The engineer supports flight hardware from initial design through testing, integration, operation, and decommissioning while prioritizing astronaut and employee safety.

Supports aerospace structural and mechanisms test campaigns for Haven-1 components, including test setup, instrumentation, DAQ operation, data logging, troubleshooting, and procedure execution. Performs hydraulic, pneumatic, and structural testing; fabricates fixtures and test equipment; follows drawings and schematics; improves test processes; maintains instrumentation calibration and equipment readiness; and assists with training junior team members. The role requires hands-on fabrication, electrical and instrumentation experience, autonomous problem-solving, and occasional travel to Mojave.

Lead a team of mechanical engineers developing thermal and fluid control systems for human-rated space stations. Own system architecture, design, analysis, testing, manufacturing readiness, qualification, launch preparation, and on-orbit operations. Guide technical trade studies, requirements, cross-functional integration, design reviews, and root-cause analysis while ensuring reliability, safety, and production-ready hardware. The role also manages workloads, mentors engineers, and supports rapid prototyping and iterative testing.

Develops and optimizes manufacturing processes, equipment, procedures, and work instructions for spacecraft thermal and environmental control systems. Responsibilities include designing and testing pressurized ground equipment, troubleshooting pneumatic, hydraulic, oxygen, refrigerant, and control systems, supporting supplier processes, performing hands-on assembly and integration, resolving manufacturing issues, and improving quality, efficiency, and manufacturability.

Plans and directs spacecraft integration and environmental tests, manages test plans and schedules, improves assembly procedures, and supports vehicle-level verification. The engineer collaborates with engineering, manufacturing, quality, and technician teams to resolve production issues, document nonconformances, implement corrective actions, and provide test direction, status updates, and go/no-go recommendations. The role requires hands-on hardware integration, test execution, and occasional evening or weekend work for mission milestones.

Conduct hypervelocity impact and ballistic tests for space-station systems. Set up and operate light gas guns, vacuum systems, high-speed cameras, sensors, and data acquisition equipment; prepare test specimens; perform inspections and damage assessments; maintain equipment and records; analyze test data; complete safety assessments; and collaborate with engineers to troubleshoot systems and improve procedures.
