Original job description

Vast is developing next-generation space stations and space infrastructure using an incremental, hardware-rich, and capital-efficient approach. Vast is rapidly developing its multi-module Haven Station to support a continuous human presence in space for America and its allies, enabling advanced microgravity research and manufacturing, and supporting a growing space economy for government, corporate, and private customers. Haven Demo’s 2025 success made Vast the only operational commercial space station company to design, build, and operate its own spacecraft in orbit. Next, Haven-1 is targeted to become the world’s first commercial space station, with launch anticipated in 2027, followed by additional Haven modules. Additionally, the company recently announced two new offerings leveraging its space station components and the heritage of Haven Demo: Vast Satellite, a high-power satellite product line; and Vast Lunar Systems, power, communications, and habitats for the Moon.

Headquartered in Long Beach, California, and with more than 1,000 employees and over a billion dollars in private capital, Vast has built the facilities capable of manufacturing America’s next space station. The company plans to develop future habitats and systems for Mars, dedicated modules for government partners, and other crewed systems designed to unlock the expanding long-term space economy.

Vast is looking for an Integration Engineer, Avionics Test, to help develop the systems behind our human-rated space stations. You will drive the development and execution of human-rated vehicle processes as Haven-1 transitions from design to a flight-ready station.

This will be a full-time, exempt position located in our Long Beach, CA location.

Responsibilities:

Develop, execute, and maintain test procedures for flight hardware
Evaluate if testing processes meet all requirements including safety, quality, function, and efficiency; if they do not, rectify the situation
Plan technical and logistical details to enable efficient completion of tests
Enable day-to-day execution of the vehicle integration and test flow
Collaborate with distributed engineering organizations, subject matter experts, and technicians to define and manage test plans, requirements, and schedules, design tests, and assess risks in an ambiguous environment
Act as test director and exercise technical authority for testing events
Disposition non-conformances, make risk-informed corrective actions, and exercise engineering judgment in ambiguous situations

Minimum Qualifications:

B.S. in mechanical, aerospace, manufacturing or electrical engineering, physics, mathematics, or a related technical field
Manufacturing experience (including internships) managing a product/product line across multiple work centers and/or departments, fluid, pressurized, propulsion, or environmental control hardware in design, manufacturing, or test
2-4+ years of experience for Manufacturing Engineer II
4-6+ years of experience for Senior Manufacturing Engineer
Hands-on fabrication, assembly, and/or integration experience; CAD proficiency (NX preferred)

Preferred Skills & Experience:

Hands-on experience building or testing hardware, in industry or through student teams such as Formula SAE, rocketry, CubeSat, or robotics
Experience with aerospace, spacecraft, propulsion, or other safety-critical or high-reliability hardware
Experience taking designs or processes from concept through build or test, and from R&D to production
Familiarity with CAD tools, ideally Siemens NX, and PLM tools such as Teamcenter
Exposure to thermal or structural analysis using Ansys, or similar tools
Awareness of aerospace workmanship, design, and environmental test standards such as IPC, SMC-S-016, NASA-STD-5001, or MIL-STD-810
Proficiency applying GD&T
Strong problem-solving skills, including troubleshooting and structured root cause analysis
Strong attention to detail, clear communication, and the ability to work well in cross-functional teams
Senior Level: experience mentoring engineers or technicians and managing multiple projects at once

Additional Requirements:

Willingness to work evenings and/or weekends to support critical mission milestones

Pay Ranges:

Engineer/ Level I: $86,100.00 - $122,220.00
Engineer/ Level II: $112,340.00 - $159,468.00
Senior Engineer/ Level III: $137,760.00 - $195,552.00

We calibrate level and compensation to the selected candidate's experience and demonstrated capability. We welcome applicants across a range of experience levels to apply.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

Base salary will vary depending on job-related knowledge, education, skills, experience, business needs, and market demand. Salary is just one component of our comprehensive compensation package. Full-time employees also receive company equity, as well as access to a full suite of compelling benefits and perks, including: medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents, generous paid time off; up to 20+ days of vacation for exempt staff and up to 10+ days of vacation for non-exempt staff with the ability to cash-out unused vacation annually, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, ClassPass credits, personalized mental healthcare through Spring Health, and other discounts and perks.
