About the position
The mission of the Engine Manufacturing Department is to deliver high-performing products and innovative manufacturing systems while driving continuous improvements in cost, quality, and lead time. Through cross-functional collaboration, high levels of accountability, and a focus on safety we play a crucial role in building our reusable rocket, Terran-R. We are responsible for providing design feedback on new hardware iterations, pioneering and implementing advanced manufacturing methods and systems, and ultimately delivering engine and vehicle hardware for testing prior to launch. Over the past year, the Engine Manufacturing Team has successfully developed, iterated, and delivered processes and hardware for the first Aeon-R development engines. Now, we are entering a critical phase: producing flight engines that will pave the way for Terran-R's inaugural launch to orbit.
Responsibilities
- Own the manufacturing trades and develop processes for fabricating, testing, and delivering critical Aeon-R hardware and subassemblies.
- Serve as the primary point of contact between the manufacturing and design teams to ensure as-built hardware meets design specifications.
- Project-manage a variety of hardware in different states of their manufacturing lifecycle.
- Develop processes and procedures for post-processing printed parts.
- Recommend design adaptations to improve reliability and throughput.
Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree in engineering or related technical field and 6+ years of direct experience working with thrust chamber assemblies or related hardware.
- Ability to effectively investigate, resolve and screen hardware non-conformances.
- Ability to drive failure investigation efforts, root cause analysis and implementation of corrective action(s).
- Ability to work with and train technicians.
- Knowledge of general assembly and test procedures, including tolerance stack-up analysis, structural proof testing and pressurized leak checks.
- Experience with Tooling design, including conceptualization, modeling and drafting, and detailed analysis.
Nice-to-haves
- Familiarity with castings and forging process technologies, as well as DFM related to these processes.
- Demonstrated track record of delivering results leading complex manufacturing development projects from conceptual development through qualification / early production.
- Experience with team building and leading projects (directly and cross-functionally).
- Experience with weld engineering, including joint design, process qualification, and NDE.
