Manufacturing Engineer – Build the Future of Space-Ready Hardware
Location: El Segundo | Full-Time | Manufacturing & Production
At the cutting edge of deployable space hardware, we’re building something that’s never been done at scale: lightweight, ultra-thin deployable reflectors for spacecraft . As a Manufacturing Engineer , you’ll turn that vision into reality—owning the process from hands-on prototyping to high-rate production.
This isn’t a job for the sidelines. You’ll be deep in the details, solving real-world problems, and helping us go from one successful build to thousands of flight-ready units .
What You’ll Do
Own the production of ultra-thin deployable reflectors—starting with our first spacecraft and scaling for future missions.
Work closely with design, test, and engineering teams to create manufacturing processes that are precise, repeatable, and efficient .
Design for manufacturability— turning engineering theory into space-qualified hardware ready for real-world deployment.
Build and iterate quickly— hands-on in the lab , testing what works, improving what doesn’t, and getting us flight-ready.
Play a critical role in helping us scale to high-volume, high-quality production without compromising performance.
What You Bring
Experience working with ultra-thin or lightweight materials , especially in precision applications.
Hands-on mindset—you’re comfortable with tools, fixtures, and solving mechanical challenges in the field.
Demonstrated ability to build production processes from scratch , with a focus on repeatability, throughput, and quality.
Strong attention to detail, and the ability to balance speed with craftsmanship.
Bonus: Familiarity with deployable structures, solar sails, or aerospace-grade composites is a plus.
Why This Role Matters
The hardware you build will fly. It will reflect, deploy, and perform in some of the most demanding environments imaginable. Your work will directly shape our ability to scale from prototype to orbit —and help define a new category of space systems manufacturing.
We’re also open to unconventional backgrounds . If you’re results-driven, relentlessly curious, and passionate about making hardware real, we want to hear from you.
Don’t just build for space—build something that gets there.
Apply now—even if your background doesn’t match every bullet. Exceptional people rarely fit inside checklists.
