Original job description

Spacecraft represent the most pressing unmet need across the entire aerospace industry. As more launch vehicles come online and the cost to orbit decreases, more companies launching payloads to space continue to emerge.

For the first time in history, this influx of payload companies combined with reduced launch costs has resulted in a massive increase in need for commercial spacecraft platforms, known as satellite buses. These buses hold the payloads of our customers and are flown on launch vehicles.

Apex manufactures these satellite buses at scale using a combination of software, vertical integration, and hardware that is designed for manufacturing. Our spacecraft enable the future of society: ranging from earth observation to communications and more.

We’d love for you to join us on our mission of providing humankind access to the galaxy beyond our planet.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As the Lead Spacecraft Manufacturing Engineer, you will lead and develop a team of manufacturing engineers while driving process excellence across critical production initiatives. You'll be responsible for mentoring your team and setting technical direction, balancing strategic planning with hands-on problem solving.

Provide hands-on technical leadership on critical manufacturing challenges including tooling design, process qualifications, and production floor troubleshooting
Ensure compliance with safety regulations and best practices throughout the manufacturing and integration processes
Stay updated with the latest advancements and best practices in aerospace manufacturing, assembly, and integration technologies
Provide technical support and guidance to production personnel, resolving technical issues and providing training as needed

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Aerospace, Manufacturing, Electrical, or related field)
5+ years of experience in aerospace or complex hardware manufacturing
Strong leadership fundamentals demonstrated via proven ability to delegate effectively, drive strategic initiatives from concept to execution, and foster individual growth.
Proven track record of implementing process improvements that resulted in measurable gains in quality, efficiency, or cost reduction
Excellent project management skills with ability to prioritize multiple concurrent initiatives
Strong technical communication skills with ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders
Demonstrated experience leading root cause and corrective action investigations
Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, hardware-intensive environments

Preferred Requirements

1+ years of technical leadership or team management experience
Strong people leadership skills including talent development, performance management, and ability to drive team accountability while maintaining morale
Experience in spacecraft or launch vehicle manufacturing
Experience in supporting the scaling of manufacturing operations from new product introduction to rate production
Familiarity with AS9100 or other high-reliability aerospace quality systems
Experience with MES/ERP/MRP systems and digital production tracking
Lean manufacturing, value stream mapping, or process optimization experience
Tooling and fixture design for aerospace assembly
