Own and develop manufacturing and test processes for 3D printed and machined Aeon-R engine components and subassemblies

Drive continuous improvements in manufacturability, assembly, and delivery of components, ensuring hardware meets all aspects of the intended design

Collaborate with manufacturing partners and technicians by writing work instructions, conducting root cause analysis, resolving issues, and tracking and reducing lead time

Partner with supply chain to develop and manage external supplier relationships, ensuring on-time hardware delivery

Build a strong manufacturing team and lead projects directly and cross-functionally

The Propulsion Manufacturing Integrated Components team manufactures and tests critical Aeon-R engine components including manifolds, gimbal assemblies, brackets, orifices, etc. The team ensures on-time delivery of propulsion subassemblies to the Aeon-R engine program while driving continuous improvements in safety, quality, reliability, lead time, and cost.

After successfully delivering hardware and developing processes for the first Aeon-R flight engines, we're entering a critical phase: ramping production while concurrently developing next-generation engines to make Terran R the most manufacturable high-performing rocket to date. This role requires a high degree of autonomy and initiative to provide design feedback, pioneer advanced manufacturing methods, and deliver flight hardware for integration and testing.
