Responsibilities
We are revolutionizing spacecraft systems and are searching for candidates passionate about hands-on engineering and advancing new technologies in space propulsion and fluid systems. As a Propulsion / Fluids Production Engineer you will have the opportunity to develop, implement, and optimize the production processes for propulsion and fluids systems for multiple vehicles types at True Anomaly. You will directly coordinate with engineers, technicians, and others to create optimized designs and bring them into reality to fly and operate in space.
Support the setup and scaling of spacecraft propulsion and fluid systems manufacturing capabilities for developmental programs and rate production.
Develop work instructions for the assembly, integration, and test of propulsion subsystems, fluids subsystems, ground support equipment, and related tooling.
Directly support production on the floor to ensure efficient build of propulsion and fluid system hardware, addressing bottlenecks and troubleshooting technical issues as needed.
Generate and resolve non-compliance reports for propulsion and fluid system hardware, conducting root cause investigations and implementing corrective actions.
Oversee calibration and certification of fluid ground support equipment relevant to propulsion and other fluids subsystems.
