Responsibilities
Own build preparation, print programming strategy, manufacturing planning, and technical execution for assigned PBF hardware or product groups
Provide feedback to design team on printability, DfAM improvements, part consolidation opportunities, and manufacturability trade-offs
Partner with materials engineering to understand qualification requirements, proposed process changes, and the evidence needed to verify and release those changes
Lead nonconformance investigations for assigned hardware, including data review, root-cause hypotheses, risk assessment, corrective action recommendations, and clear technical summaries
Identify recurring NCs and implement preventive actions in collaboration with process engineering, quality, and design
Coordinate with PBF process engineering, machine owners, inspection, quality, design, post-processing, machining, and program teams to remove blockers and protect hardware delivery
Team
The Powder Bed Fusion Additive Manufacturing team is pushing the boundaries of what's possible in rocket propulsion hardware. Responsible for development, process, and production, the team oversees initial concept to final hardware with rigorous quality and precision. From developing print parameters on state-of-the-art 3D printers to enabling fast iteration for partner departments, the team plays a critical role in taking engine designs from concept to hot fire. The team was instrumental in producing Aeon 1 engines for Terran 1 launch and is now pioneering next-generation processes and designs for our Aeon R engines that will power Terran R. With flight hardware production scaling up rapidly, now is the time to join and make a direct impact.
