Senior Build Reliability Engineer

6+ years of experience in a high volume, rapid production environment in a manufacturing, integration, quality and/or design engineering role

Strong production and hardware manufacturing experience, including manufacturing of a combination of machined parts, mechanisms, electrical assemblies, Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs), and harnessing

Experience developing and executing quality plans across the full build lifecycle

Experience with quality inspection techniques such as NDE/NDT methods and associated equipment

Familiarity with AS9100D requirements, including supporting audits and maintaining compliance within a production organization

Experience with high-volume manufacturing of complex assemblies, including solar module lines, battery manufacturing lines, and cleanroom production environments

Base salary range for this role is $140,000 - $175,000 + equity in the company

Salary will be based on several factors including, but not limited to: knowledge and skills, education, and experience level

Comprehensive benefits package including paid time off, medical/dental/vision coverage, life insurance, paid parental leave, and many other perks

You will own quality and reliability from the moment raw materials hit our dock to the moment a finished vehicle leaves for the launch site. You’ll dig into failures, find the root cause, and make sure it never happens again. You’ll write the quality plans and build the processes that let us scale from building a few spacecraft to building many, without compromising the reliability that missions demand.

Being hands-on will be part of your routine as you’ll work alongside engineers and technicians, shaping how hardware gets built. You’ll influence design decisions with data from the production floor. You’ll help establish the manufacturing practices that will underpin Commercial, National Security, and Science missions spanning LEO, MEO, GEO, Cislunar, and Deep Space.

If you want to build the quality culture in a fast paced environment and enable high-rate satellite manufacturing at scale, this is the role.

Own and execute quality plans across assigned build programs, from receiving inspection through integration, test, and vehicle handoff at the launch site

Lead failure investigations, root cause analyses, and corrective action efforts; drive containment activities that reduce risk and improve reliability across production

Feed lessons learned from build non-conformances and test failures back into the design cycle, influencing future component iterations towards simpler, more robust, and more repeatable flight unit builds
