Evaluate and down select fabrication vendors.
Work closely with the Chief Engineer and Systems Architects to optimize designs for performance and manufacturability.
Create detailed design documentation, including drawings, design guides, and Interface Control Documents (ICDs).
Own the design through the full build and test lifecycle, including:
Develop and execute work instructions, test plans, and test reports.
Support complex secondary operations, such as solar cell laydown and string welding.
Partner with technicians and manufacturing engineers to troubleshoot and resolve hardware issues.
