Technical project management or manufacturing design experience
Advanced understanding of mechanical design principles including GD&T, efficient load paths, structural connections, and material properties
Experience designing large structures for critical operations, such as crane lifts, transport, vertical and horizontal structural alignment, and production tooling

THESE QUALIFICATIONS WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE:

Tooling manufacturing experience in aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, marine, or other large-scale fabrication industries
Advanced non-linear FEA, CFD, and heat transfer analysis methods
Proficiency reading electrical schematics and P&ID’s
Experience with metrology via measurement arm or laser tracker
Experience integrating hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechanical power systems (e.g., screws, hoists)
Experience developing lift plans and specifying rigging for mobile and overhead cranes
Project management experience in a fast-paced prototype fabrication shop
Proficiency with Siemens NX or similar CAD/PLM software
Hands-on proficiency with hand tools and basic fabrication equipment

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

This position may require prolonged periods of sitting, standing, walking, computer work, and occasional exposure to moderate levels of noise, dust, and fumes in production areas.

Anticipated annual equity grant value is designed around function, level, experience, and other factors; realized value depends on vesting and stock-price performance.

Join one of the world's fastest-growing space companies and own a piece of it. In addition to competitive base pay, you'll receive company stock as part of your total compensation package, giving you a direct stake in our success. As we expand to new launch sites, groundbreaking missions, and global markets, your ownership has the opportunity to grow alongside the company.

Our comprehensive benefits package includes our industry-leading Employee Stock Purchase Program (with a 15% discount on company stock), top tier medical HMO, PPO & a 100% company-sponsored medical HSA plan option, dental and vision coverage, 3 weeks paid vacation and 5 days sick leave per year, 11 paid holidays per year, flexible spending and dependent care savings accounts, paid parental leave, disability insurance, life insurance, access to a 401(k) retirement plan with company match, and free snacks/drinks onsite.

Level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.

Total Compensation (base and equity)

$129,075 - $136,625 USD

Base Salary

$95,200 - $119,000 USD

WHAT TO EXPECT

We’re on a mission to unlock the potential of space to improve life on Earth, but that’s not an easy task. It takes hard work, determination, relentless innovation, teamwork, grit, and an unwavering commitment to achieving what others often deem impossible. Our people out-think, out-work, and out-pace. We pride ourselves on having each other’s backs, checking our egos at the door, and rolling up our sleeves on all tasks big and small. We thrive under pressure, work to tight deadlines, and our focus is always on how we can deliver, rather than dwelling on the challenges that stand in the way.
