About the Team:
The mission of the Engine Manufacturing Department is to deliver high-performing products and innovative manufacturing systems while driving continuous improvements in cost, quality, and lead time. Through cross-functional collaboration, high levels of accountability, and a focus on safety we play a crucial role in building our reusable rocket, Terran-R. We are responsible for providing design feedback on new hardware iterations, pioneering and implementing advanced manufacturing methods and systems, and ultimately delivering engine and vehicle hardware for testing prior to launch. Over the past year, the Engine Manufacturing Team has successfully developed, iterated, and delivered processes and hardware for the first Aeon-R development engines. Now, we are entering a critical phase: producing flight engines that will pave the way for Terran-R's inaugural launch to orbit.
About the Role:
* Create Process Plans, Standard Operating Procedures, Inspection Plans, Work Holding Desings, and other supporting documents to define process for parts
* Improve manufacturing processes through developing and deploying new technologies and methodologies
* Advise on design for manufacturability methodologies to upstream partners
* Articulate manufacturing, fixturing, and inspection method for designs concepts, GD&T requirements, and datum structures to inform design choices.
* Recommend novel designs or design updates that improve manufacturability
* Analyze and improve process that create non-conforming hardware. Investigate root causes and determine corrective actions.
About You:
* B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related discipline.
* 5+ years of experience in machining
* Minimum of 3 years' experience in Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, or Supply Chain
Nice to haves but not required:
* Knowledge of metrology and dimensional inspection methods
* Proficiency in CAD and CAM software
* Understanding of manufacturing processes, lean principles, and continuous improvement methodologies
* Knowledge of fixture design and stack-ups analysis
