About The Position

As a build engineer on the Super Heavy Booster team, you will be responsible for developing and qualifying processes for high-rate, mixed-product manufacturing of propulsion, avionics, and welded structural assemblies. Focus will be on design for manufacturing, implementing poka-yoke systems, increasing product yield, and automation as required to minimize takt and cycle times.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or advanced degree in aerospace engineering, manufacturing engineering, materials engineering, mechanical engineering, or other engineering discipline
• 1+ years of manufacturing and process design experience (internship and academic experience is applicable)

Nice To Haves

• Master's degree in an engineering discipline
• Hands-on project experience with mixed value stream or high-rate manufacturing lines, focusing on maximizing yield and increasing rate
• Proficiency in mechanical assembly methods, testing, failure mode effects analysis, and troubleshooting
• Experience with integration and testing of propulsion, thermal, electrical, and/or structural systems
• Prior experience with developing, maintaining, and improving weld processes and weld inspection techniques, inclusive of automation
• Experience using SQL or other data management structures to inform priorities and measure performance

Responsibilities

• Develop and perform acceptance testing of manufacturing processes, techniques, and tools to enable efficient and high-rate manufacturing
• Design and implement precision tooling to eliminate assembly error, improve quality, and minimize cycle time
• Automate novel processes to ensure repeatability on high-rate manufacturing lines
• Work closely with design engineering teams to influence flight design and vehicle architecture with design for manufacturing improvements
• Develop and/or automate in-situ inspection techniques to increase yield and decrease cycle time
• Manage transition of parts and assemblies from development to high-rate production
• Challenge and simplify requirements to optimize processes and reduce overhead
