Original job description

Vast is developing next-generation space stations and space infrastructure using an incremental, hardware-rich, and low-cost approach. Vast is rapidly developing its multi-module Haven Station to ensure a continuous human presence in space for America and its allies, enabling advanced microgravity research and manufacturing, and unlocking a new space economy for government, corporate, and private customers. Haven Demo’s 2025 success made Vast the only operational commercial space station company to fly and operate its own spacecraft. Next, Haven-1 is expected to become the world’s first commercial space station when it launches in 2027, followed by additional Haven modules. Additionally, the company recently announced Vast Satellite, a high-power satellite product line leveraging its space station components and the heritage of Haven Demo.

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 required to manufacture and operate America’s next space station. The company plans to develop future habitats and systems for the Moon and Mars, dedicated space stations for government partners, and other crewed systems that will unlock the expanding long-term space economy.

Vast is looking for an Integration Engineer, Fluid Systems 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:

Own design, build, and commissioning of fluid system GSE and test stands
Develop clear and robust test plans for on-vehicle checkouts, fluids, instrumentation, and high-pressure testing

Produce professional documentation including mechanical, fluid, and instrumentation schematics
Document non-conformances and collaborate with the quality team on root cause corrective actions
Adhere to, enforce, and improve test processes and best practices
Collaborate with distributed engineering organizations to define test plans, requirements, and schedules
Partner with engineers, SMEs, and technicians to solve complex fluid system problems
Senior Level: Mentor engineers and technicians on the team

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)

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
